Synopsis
Hawaiian-set detective program Magnum P.I. was a huge hit during the 1980s, finishing in the top 20 shows during the first five seasons it aired. Tom Selleck, who won an Emmy in 1984 for his performance, plays Thomas Magnum, a Vietnam Vet who retires from the military and moves to the Pacific islands to start a private detective agency. His allies include a couple of army buddies who also live on the islands, and proper former British army officer Jonathan Higgins, caretaker of the mansion where Magnum stays and foil to Magnum's fun-loving ways.

I've been a fan of Magnum PI for some time. I watched it when it originally aired and since then on re-runs for years. I bought Series 1 and 8 recently and now I'm buying up the others.
In this purchase I've bought series 2 and 3.
Series 2, like series 1 is in the larger box that contains the clear plastic disc holders like a book. Series 3, like the newer series (and A-Team series 2 to 5) is in a smaller box containing slim line DVD cases holding 2 DVDs per case and the slim line dvd cases are held in a cardboard box.
Unlike the other reviewer my discs weren't two sided. They were single sided with the nice images on the top. The over all quality of the episodes aren't too bad. I felt the intros were a higher quality than series 2. There a few episodes that had a lower quality. Stuff like the 3rd episode having black line down the right side of the screen. It's a few pixels from the absolute edge so it is unfortunately more noticeable than I'd like but not a huge problem. Universal definitely could have done better.
Still this is a must for fans and the set was very enjoyable.

Big fan of Magnum Pi. One of my favorites from the 80's. If you enjoyed watching this as a kid, treat yourself and take a trip down tv memory lane.

i love magnum and have bought every series, this series does not match the rest of the set because it has a red sleeve, the others are all black.
as another reviewer says, universal changed the design of the boxes from proper cases to slimline, and for some reason they changed the box colour on this....
the fonts of series 1 and 2 do not match either, so its a bit odd, what were they thinking.....
i have reviewed it 5 stars as the packaging is crap but obviously the content is good, and cannot really be faulted, just sucks if you want to collect the whole thing.

have to say that it is not quite as good as the first 2 seasons, maybe I'm just getting too old to watch Tom Selleck walk round in cut off shorts. Some of the plots seem to be repeating themselves. Might consider season 4 but only if someone else buys it for me.

Very good action series with a touch of humour and no bad language set in
exotic islands of Hawaii with a strong cast who all gell together very well.
At approx 45 miniutes long each episode is just the right lengh of time
and not too drawn out.Well worth watching again and again.
