First of all, I noticed in the Blu-ray.com news article for Mill Creek's release the total number of episodes, and wondered if they were including the original 'as-aired-in-the States' feature-length versions of a few episodes (including the Season 3 opener "Did You See the Sunrise?" (one of the classics in my opinion). Then, I see the rear boxart description about how many episodes are in the set, and it suggests the feature-length versions will be in the set (will the series finale "Resolutions" be the two-part version?).
I was watching the original
Magnum, P.I. several years ago (the UK DVD releases) in rotation with
Simon & Simon and
Murder, She Wrote. Then a close friend passed away and I lost interest and stopped watching all three shows. I thought the first two seasons were strong, even so soon after the end of the original
Hawaii Five-O (it would have been a dream if Jack Lord had agreed to make an appearance in the series, but sadly not). But something seemed to change after they did the crossover event with
Simon & Simon (I thought the quality of the stories dipped, whereas on
Simon & Simon the quality of their stories improved). To me, there seemed too many sports-themed episodes and episodes with members of Higgins's family. Then all of a sudden, come season seven and the show was back to it's best (I got as far as just before the end of the seventh season before I stopped watching the show).
On and off, I've considered getting the Fabulous Films UK Blu-ray release of
Magnum, P.I., but the comments here (including one user review) have been inconsistent.
