3.0 out of 5 stars
[ 3 Stars out of Four] Well made but not as good as Hawai'i Five-0, July 5, 2006
This review is from: Magnum, p.i. Collector's Edition: Magnum Opus (Pilot) (VHS Tape)
Humourus, but barely believable story
about guy who wants it all; lives in
mystery writer's mansion and has to suf-
fer from stuffy Brit landlord / caretaker
of estate; has black, helicopter pilot,
best buddy and runs Investigative service.
Naturally, a lot of babes bed him and
he has daughter by another woman, some-
where else, who takes care of her and
DOESN't charge him alimony! Naturally,
he Rick and T.C. are Vietnam (South-
east Asia) vets; sounds more like Fan-
tasy Island to me! Lookk for many ex-
Hawai'i Five-0 regulars like Glenn
Cannon, Seth Sakai, Lt. Tanaka, played
by very fine character actor, Kwan Hi
Lam, Carol Kai, Lani Kai, amny other
show up from time to time in the 5
yr., run [1980-85] of this well filmed
but seriously exaggerated show. I like
Tom Selleck, but this show doesn't str-
etch reality, IT SUSPENDS IT!
