Magnum P.I.: Season 3

I'm a 50 yr old male, happily married, couple of late teen boys...and I just have a blast watching these DVDs...I have all of them now. I'm quite an admirer of Mr. Selleck, due to his independent conservative beliefs as well as his views on the 2nd Ammendment. I also gained GREAT respect for him for his handling of the Rosie O. attack he endured! I also find his cowboy movies are especially terrific examples of his acting ability, great story telling there. Never payed much attention to Magnum PI in the 80's when on TV, but now with TODAY's TV which is...well... total garbage, this show is a breath of fresh air. So I thought I'd buy the first season of Magnum, as I recalled it was a pretty good show, plus it has Selleck. What a great decision. The whole cast and the way they interact is like a tight family, funny, strong and loyal ties that bind, and is great fun to watch. You may find that a few episodes (here & there in season 4, 5, 6) are pretty simple (poorly written), BUT the actors tried to work with it and it's still the Magnum PI family. Buy it, enjoy it and turn OFF modern TV! It'll be good for you and yours, I promise ya ~

Season 3 was the breakout year for this series, with Tom Selleck and company at the start of their peak of comic/action/adventure with occasional serious undertones. Some of the most memorable Magnum episodes, including "Did you see the Sunrise?" are in Season 3. Unfortunately, aside from the 22 episodes themselves there are few extras, such as commentaries or short features, to attract fans or collectors. I realize it is unrealistic to imagine Tom Selleck volunteering to record detailed commentaries of episodes shot 25 years ago, but there must be contemporary promotional material and features shot for shows like Entertainment Tonight that could be added to each season set, or perhaps a cast commentary on a groundbreaking episode like "Sunrise". The single bonus is a Season 4 episode, which is redundant if you intend to buy Season 4. Other reviewers have noted poor disc quality, and I did have one show where the playback "hung up" in the middle of a scene, even though a visual inspection of the never-played-before disk showed no blemishes or scratches. In all, this is still a good buy for loyal fans who want to enjoy uncut episodes without commercials, but will leave most of us hoping that Universal does a better job on releases of later seasons.

Great show, another classic season of Magnum. The episodes though got NO special treatment for this DVD release. MONO sound, no picture remastering. They used probably the best available prints and it just barely makes the grade. Had they been any older they would have deff needed to be remastered and cleaned up. There are alot of specs and dirt marks on these prints, not enough to make you throw the set away but you can fro sure tell these are the original untouched prints. Maybe a tad or coloring would have helped, some of the episodes have a slight faded/washed out look to them, but again, enough to get buy with. Compared these to the remastered Hawaii Five-O or even Charlies Angles, which are a few years older and you see the huge difference in what remastering prints can do, those shows I mentioned look pristine quality, amazing colors and depth. Anyhow....enjoy the show!

Season Three of Magnum, PI includes some great episodes (Did You See the Sunrise, Parts 1 and 2) and one of the worst (Two Birds of a Feather), but over all, it's got lots of the elements fans love: engaging and diverse stories, interesting mysteries and great interplay between the characters. It's a must-have for any Magnum Fan's library and a good choice if you just want some 80's flashback fun. The nice thing about Magnum is that the stories hold up very well, with time, unlike a lot of shows from the same era.As for the DVDs, themselves, there have been no problems. They are double-sided and we struggled with a few technical difficulties with the first season's double-sided discs, because of poor quality (had to return the discs for exchange). However, season three has been just fine!

I know what you're thinking, and you're right. Why is the show called Magnum P.I. when I insist on being called a Private Investigator? You'll have to take that up with Mr. Bellisario, I'm just the lowly flunky crashing in the guest house on this ocean front estate for my third season. But, once again I'm running circles around Higgy Baby with the (usually reluctant) help of my pals TC and Rick. As usual, all of my clients are lying to me about their true situation and I have to investigate them before I can solve the case.Yes, it's all been done before. But with my crew it's served up with lot's of laughter and a wink for the audience. See, I just raised my eyebrows...again.

A long time fan of this series. Have a couple of other seasons as well. Great for when the cable is out!

Serie TV piacevole e leggera come solo gli anni 80

Sono telefilm che si guardano volentieri e fanno trascorre del tempo in modo gradevole. E poi Magnum è troppo forte!! E non dimentichiamoci le Hawai e la sua bellissima Ferrari rossa.

More Magnum P.I. All good , with fine plots , and the usual cavalcade of guest stars. To my way of thinking , superior to current TV offerings. Of interest , episode 21 ( I think it was ) called The Big Blow , starts of with music that sounds similar to the Doors songcalled "The End ". Also Stuart Margolin ( Angel on "The Rockford Files " ) directs an episode and appears as a guest star inanother episode.

Se piace Magnum, ogni episodio è un vero piacere. Trame non troppo complesse e impegnative e personaggi ben caratterizzati a cui ci si affezziona. In questa terza serie migliorano anche qualità audio e video

prodotto integro e perfettamente funzionante al giusto prezzo, lo consiglio a tutti gli amanti di questo genere di telefilm .
