Lots of TV fun... August 4, 2008

Am watching the series for the first time. I got to see an occasional episode when I was a kid but bedtimes and homework and studying usually ran interference...
This is the first season where CBS must have come to conclusion that "sex sells" because in the first 5 episodes I have seen so far Thomas Magnum has caught the girl and then spent the night with her. Previous to this there was the suggestion that he spent the night with her, now it is confirmed.
We were watching the series as a family b/c it was adventurous but still pretty tame compared to what is on broadcast TV these days. This is the season where I'll have to watch it after the kids go to bed.
Still really enjoying the series and the story lines. The places and the cars are really interesting. The plots would never work as well if Magnum carried a cellphone!!! While our gadgets have much improved, the world really hasn't changed that much since this show was originally broadcast.
 A step backwards for this fine show July 21, 2008

The sixth season of Magnum is the first time in the series that a season is worse than the one that preceded it. There are some great shows, to be sure, but watched as a whole (which is the whole point of having a DVD of a season), the writers appeared to be running out of material, or made a concerted effort to emphasize light and comedic storytelling. While some of my favourite Magnum episodes are the comedic ones, these ones just don't work on the whole. Even more problematic is when the show tries to find its emotional centre, then turns the occasion into a joke.
The most perfect example of how the show fails in Season 6 is the episode "Mad Dogs and Englishmen", where Higgins is "fired" as Robin's major domo and appears to join a private army attempting a coup. Higgins is rediculous as a ruthless coup leader, and the idea that such an operation could be hidden in Hawai'i is ludicrous. The basis of the Higgins-Magnum friendship is military - they both understand and respect each other for the service (even if one is Army and the other is Navy!), so anything that denigrates Higgins's (or Magnum's) military ability is harmful to that relationship and detrimental to the chemistry of the show.
Of course, there are many "real" Magnum moments, such as his dressing-down by an officious boss while working as a hotel detective, his poignant visit to the Vietnam war memorial, and Higgins willingness to run into a fire to save Magnum. But for every good moment, there is a painful homage to "Casablanca," a less painful but still bad homage to "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World," or a visit by Robin Masters's scammer nephew. But take heart, Magnum fans - Season 7 is next!
Magnum just keeps getting better May 18, 2008

Without a doubt this series keeps getting better with newer, fresher episodes. Granted I saw them first run when they came out in the 80's but to relive them again is awesome.
