    The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

    The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

    Magnum PI is without a doubt one of the best, if not the best TV - show to go on TV. Since television was invented.The main character Tommis Magnum is not your typical hero, due to the fact the show was extremely realistic.Magnum gets hurt a lot and has the occasional sprained ankle or broken bone.This makes for a very entertaining and realistic hero.He always pulls through and gets the job done.He is a first class private investigater and loves to pretend that he is stupid and lazy, Al though he is exactly the opposite.He is sharing a house with a character called Higgins.Due to Higgins abnormal amount of knowledge about art, history and wine.Higgins always things he is above everyone else.Higgins and Magnum argue a lot.This is because Higgins is very competitive and jealous of all Magnum's knowledge on gathering information on how to solve a case.Magnum is smart, cool and funny.In reality Higgins has a lot of respect for Magnum's many skills.He rarely shows this.This is due to his pride.Higgins sometimes even brings Magnum new clients and this clearly shows he knows that Magnum is the best for when you need help and the police can't help.The show is slow pace.Therefore you have to have patience and force yourself to watch all eight seasons.To realise the brilliance and excellent writing off this once in a lifetime TV show. Their is lots of humor at times and you will fall in love with many characters.Magnum keeps very, very fit through swimming and surfskiing almost every day.He practice 6 different sport regular to keep him fit.He is constantly thinking that he will not always be young.Though some research I discovered the actor who played TC.Really flew the helicopter in real life. This makes me love the show even more!!!!!

    For a 1980's show this is a real good one. Tom Selleck is Magnum, he is a private investigator who gets to live on the estate of a writer with way too much money. John Hillerman (Higgins) is great as the majordomo/manager of the Hawaii estate. He is a retired British sergeant major. Magnum and Higgins are at odds a lot of the time. It is usually pretty funny. There are two doberman's named Apollo and Zeus that appear to be under total control by Higgins. The dogs are kind of a foil in regards to Magnum. At times Higgins calls them off and at other times they are used to intimidate or coerce Magnum to do something Higgins wants. The episodes run from just funny to very serious. Magnum usually doesn't kill anyone but does at rare times. Roger Mosley is the Nam era chopper pilot now with his own chopper conducting tours of the islands, IF he is not suborned by Magnum. Rick is another Nam vet who helps from time to time, he usually runs the bar at an exclusive club but pitches in when needed. The scripts are fairly good, the acting is average, the casting though is pretty good and the women are of course very nice. I like this series because it is just nice entertainment.

    I think everyone wanted to be Magnum!! Tom Selleck was hilarious as Magnum PI!! He drove around the coolest car, all the women loved him, and he was a master of dodging in and out of precarious criminal situations in an effortless and likable way! Picturesque Hawaii was another positive aspect to this series!! I visited Hawaii when I was a senior in high school!! In my opinion, it is the most beautiful state in the union!!! Tom Selleck is a fabulously famous movie star now, but I always associated him with being "Magnum" the totally cool detective!! "Magnum" is one of my favorite shows in all of television!! Tom Selleck is a friendly type of actor who has a huge following!! "Magnum P.I." was so popular because your average guy had a definite identifiability with Magnum!! The helicopter scenes were classic, and the athletic interludes of Magnum being the ultimate man, left a very favorable impression on the television audience!! Let's face it, Tom Selleck was the best part of "Magnum P.I." without question... beyond a shadow of a doubt!! I give this show an extremely high rating!! 10 out of 10 is the least of it!

    Everyone loved Tom Selleck as the mischief making private investigator Thomas Magnum... This cavalier Casanova who always had teenage boy intuitions via his tiny little voice was the ideal guy, he got to drive a Ferrari, the women thought he was so good looking and athletic, and the male T.V Viewers had an overt admiration of Thomas Magnum's innocent chicanery! Always thwarting Higgins, he was the type of guy everyone wanted to be just like!! This was Tom Selleck's big break, he was a soap opera star before "Magnum" and even a contestant on "The Dating Game" ... "Magnum" is what put Tom Selleck on the superstar map, and since "Magnum" he has been tremendously successful as a big box office movie star!! People identify "Magnum" with Tom Selleck, and love the show because of him!! So did I!!
