Best Show EVER!

11 seconds with only the sound the engine. , it's a good idea. why not.

This was the very original song before they put the "rock song" opening on it?

@aaronhh This intro theme has a much more '70s jazz/disco feel to it. I prefer the later one, given that it was always kinda Magnum's theme as used in the show, but you've got to love the baseline intro to this one.

Wy did they remove this great theme to have the goofy sounding replacement?

@pindaric

Cacavas wrote the Jazzy theme?

I was under the impression that Ian Freebairn Smith ( who also did episode underscore) did the Jazzy theme.

I WISH that IMDB would list the shows THEME composers as well as the weekly music.

Don't knock Jazz dude-without it, there never would have been PETER GUNN or THE PINK PANTHER!

Or MIAMI VICE!!!!! (Think about it!)

[arnebarnard]

Anyone would be hard pressed to be able to REMEMBER this theme, let alone able to whistle or hum it.

I could see what the original intent of this theme was-Private Investigator, cool jazz, chicks, cars , mystery. ANY show that was produced in the 1950's would have killed to have this theme but MAGNUM was three decades removed from the "good ol' days" in concept and execution.

This song is SHIT! Jazz sucks asshole. Nothing beats the other tune. Nothing. Jazz...Jesus.

[stepwashable]

I like this better than the new theme song, much, much better. Jazz like that should play longer.

I don't dislike this theme, but it doesn't fit the show all that well.
