Magnum Pi is the best tv show of the eighties, and Selleck was perfect as the moustache wearing PI. Together with Higgins, Rick and TC he beat the bad guys in the beautiful setting of Hawaii. What made the show work was the fact that you as the audience just knows that Selleck is just as nice as his character of Magnum, and that makes for very comfortable viewing. The dvd has every episode of the first season, all looking very good thanks to dvd quality. One thing Magnum fans must be aware of though is that the region 1 version (American release) has bonus episodes from future seasons, including the Simon and Simon episode. The region 2 version for the UK has just the episodes from season 1. And so it is probably best to get region 1 if your player can play them.
All in all a first class release, however a Selleck commentary would have been bliss. Oh well...

I bought this set thinking it would provide me with little more than a few nostalgic chuckles, as has regretfully been the case with other 80s shows. But Magnum is class. The interaction between Magnum and the other main characters (particularly the brilliant Higgins) is excellent, generating genuine laughs and fondness. The show is happy to mix such light-hearted laughs with more serious elements, and some of the episodes in which Magnum and the team revisit their memories of Vietnam are quite moving - especially if the time in which the show was first aired is considered. But first and foremost Magnum is top-notch entertainment; classic detective stories (the noir-style voiceover is inspired) with a tropical twist, driven forward by a talented and eminently likable ensemble. Even 25 years on, every woman wants to be with Magnum; every man wants to be him. Even given the tash.

I have this box set and although Amazon doesn't mention it, all episodes of series 1 have English subtitles.

Action packed fun
A good mix of characters and good island settings make this 80s action series very enjoyable - for all the family and Tom Selleck cuts a dash!!

Most enjoyable
Box set as described, quality is great compared to many other shows of that era, and as a window into the 'eighties'... awsome. I will be purchasing more.

This was bought as a present so I haven't watched it but I do remember the original. My son-in-law was really pleased and I might have to buy the other series in the set. Read more

Wonderful series.
This series is just as good years later as it was back at the beginning. Wonderful humor, and I forgot how "hunky" Tom Selleck was in those days! Read more
