 - Great fun entertainmentSurprised how well the first series stacks up after all these years. There's hardly a dud episode in here. We very much enjoy watching these DVDs, but the dobermans are tops! Plenty of them in this series. Rating: - The Season That Made Tom Selleck Famous Finally, Magnum's 1980-81 Season was put on DVD with each and every episode complete and uncut like it originally was during it's 8-year run on CBS, except that each episode on this DVD is commercial-free, which is wonderful. In addition, each episode also includes a brief summary along with it's original air date of this 1980-81 Season of Magnum, PI and includes closed captioning on them too, but it's just too bad they couldn't make Magnum's 6th, 7th, and 8th Season DVD box set like this one, because it would've made them even better. Additionally, the First Season shows you how Magnum(Tom Selleck) got started along with this estranged relationship with Higgins(John Hillerman), TC(Roger Mosley), Rick(Larry Manetti), and of course Higgins dogs(Zeus & Apollo) and explains the estragned relationship and situation that Magnum and Higgins had with the so-called famous Robin Masters, even though Robin was never shown on the series, even though the snazzy red Ferrari Magnum always drove was Robin's, which even said "Robin 1" on the license plate. This 1980-81 Season was also one of the funniest seasons of the show as well and was my second favorite season of Magnum, P.I. as well as the season that made Magnum(Tom Selleck) the sexiest detective on TV in the early 1980's. This is also the season that made Tom Selleck a superstar and a sex symbol along with the fact that MAGNUM came out a year later from playing his role as fellow gumshoe(Lance White) on THE ROCKFORD FILES, which was an inspiration to MAGNUM, P.I.. In addition to that, the 1st Season of Magnum showed former co-stars from THE ROCKFORD FILES like Noah Beery in the "All Roads Lead To Floyd" episode after his days of playing Rockford's father (Joseph "Rocky" Rockford) on THE ROCKFORD FILES and Gretchen Corbett in "The Curse Of The Kamehameha Club" episode after her days of playing Rockford's foxy attorney girlfriend(Beth Davenport) in the first 4 seasons of THE ROCKFORD FILES. Additionally; it was also interesting seeing -Rebecca Holden in the "Missing In Action" episode before her co-starring days as April Curtis on KNIGHT RIDER -Erin Gray in the "J. Digger Doyle" episode before her SILVER SPOONS and BUCK ROGERS days -Lance LeGault in the "Missing In Action" episode before his Col. Decker days on THE A-TEAM and before his Col. Green days on MAGNUM -Ted Danson in the "Don't Say Goodbye" episode before his Sam Malone days on CHEERS -Judith Chapman in "The Black Orchid" episode before her days on YOUNG & THE RESTLESS and DAYS OF OUR LIVES -Laurie Hendler in the "Thank Heaven For Little Girls & Big Ones Too" episode before her days on GIMME A BREAK -Anne Lockhart in the "Lest We Forget" episode after her Sheba days on BATTLESTAR GALACTICA The 1980-81 Season of Magnum was also the season that became almost a spin-off of HAWAII 5-0 and THE ROCKFORD FILES. So this review should definetley be helpful to anybody who religiously watched Magnum on CBS's Thursday night line-up back in the early 1980's. Rating: - Magnum is AwesomeI love Magnum PI, the first season is great. The set doesn't come with much for extras and the discs are dual sided, which is annoying, but its worth it for the show. Rating: - AwesomeThe product arrived promptly and we have enjoyed it very much. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rating: - Magnum 1st SeasonI am such a die-hard Tom Selleck fan so of course this season one of Magnum is great. Now I can free up space on my recorder for more Selleck!!! Video arrived quickly and in perfect condition so far put I'm pacing myself on viewing individual episodes.
