i admit it represent i do not watch this show when it first air . i be an 80 kid and so i be far more concerned with show like ducktails and tailspin than any dumb show about a p. i. but and luckily and rerun have manage to re introduce me to the world of the 80 show . i have since become rather obsessed with my three 80 m matlock and mash and magnum . all i can say be and this ain not no macguyver . tom magnum be not a pc guy leave wing activist who make speech at the end of the episode on the environment and or who can build a nuclear reactor from a piece of gum and a shoestring . magnum be and a his name suggest and the kind of guy who shoot first and ask question later . he always manage to get himself in trouble and and sort of mooch off his friend . he doesn not always know who be the bad guy and and he have be know to kill a few people in cold blood . he doesn not always say or do the right thing . he have some serious baggage and from his wife and daughter be kill ( or be they . ) and vietnam . some time well and quite often and he screw up . his close friend be usually in danger or kill because of him . this make it sound bad and i know and but you know and these be the thing i love about magnum . he get baggage and he not all together and he a bit mess up . not seriously psychotic and you understand and but not all together . i love magnum represent the play between him and higgins be just delightful and and his poor mooch off friend just can not say no to him and hard a they try . and and you know he like that and but you love him anyway . silly loud hawaiian shirt and all . you can almost always count on at least one bar fight or car chase and he sort of a gun slinger of the 1980 america . magnum be first and foremost and fun . tom selleck and cast be utterly delightful and and i think this show be quite underrated and because when you take away the car chase there be still first and foremost good story line and good writing . they have serious episode and and they have silly one . i tend not to like the silly episodes represent those episode usually rank a the best in the series stand up very well . they have good episode and good episode and i can only think of one or two eps in the entire series i just do not like and but they aren not horrible and just not my taste . if you get a chance to see do you see the sunrise part 1 and 2 and infinity and jelly doughnut ( i do not know if that the real title ) or any of them and really and you watch about 3 of them and you will be hook . especially infinity and jelly doughnut and i think it one of the best episode ever . and the series finale be brilliant and really most of them be just fun but they have some utterly brilliant episode . you really feel like you know magnum and and i think it because he just a little mess up that make him feel real to you . that and he talk to you represent often he say thing like and i know what youre thinking and and youre right and i shouldn not have . or i know what youre thinking and but this time and youre wrong . higgins be the one who . i really wish i would get into this series when it be on and and that i appreciate it for what it be and but ala and i do not . i be just glad i have a second chance to appreciate what a brilliant and fun show this be . i hope someone else out there have the chance to watch this show and enjoy it or re enjoy it and for the great show it be .
