About this show

Tom Selleck won an Emmy for his portrayal of Thomas Magnum, a charming private detective who lives in Hawaii on the estate of an absentee millionaire, in Magnum, P.I. Though a bit of a rascal, Magnum investigates his cases with skill, deftly moving about an island that is luxurious, exotic, and sometimes dangerous. Successfully blending doses of action, mystery, irreverent comedy, and poignant drama, this series became one of the biggest hits in television history and afforded Selleck and his characterization iconic status.

I fell asleep while watching this episode and woke up to some other show playing. (July 2021).... and I had to go on-line and key in some keywords to finally find the name and episode number and then look for a place to play this. Google Play Movies and TV came to my rescue and I paid the $1.99 via PayPal and was able to open and watch the episode on my 28 inch computer monitor. The movie was sharp and the color good. I got the SD version being cheap like I am but should have purchased the HD version for $2.99 as I'm sure the quality was way better. But the good news is I got to see how the show ended after falling asleep and missing the ending!! Dennis

The video quality of the streaming shows the colors and vividness of Hawaii like it was meant to be. Throw away those cloudy DVDs from the 90s. This show is great. My favorite TV show ever. I notice that this first season was really feeling things out and trying different settings and methods. The estate was not used as much though it was used. Each episode is very different with a different look. Season 2 starts to show more of a pattern and rhythm.

Beautiful scenery I enjoy seeing all the trees and plants an the hills in Hawaii. I like Magnums friends and how they seem to be getting into trouble a lot. Just great entertainment. I like Magnums honesty devotion to the truth. He's the type of man that will always be looked up to. I could go on and on but for now I'm through.
