Customer Reviews for Magnum P.I. - The Complete Fourth Season
Poor Quality DVD
I love the show, but had to replace season 4 and when replacement came it was freezing in same place. Thankfully Amazon is great about returns/refundsMagnum P.I. - The Complete Fourth Season
It's Magnum, how can you not go wrong?
I need not to say more, it's Magnum! You're in a ferarri catching bad guys on an island. They can't get too far!Magnum P.I. - The Complete Fourth Season
"I made it Dad... why didn't you?"
OK, so I am not the biggest Magnum P.I. fan to ever watch the show. Sure, I liked it when it was on... but come 1984, my interests shifted over to MIAMI VICE... and they never returned. Oh I still watched.. but to be completely honest, I never really cared that much if the show was on or not.
But...
When the Season Four premier episode entitled HOME FROM THE SEA first aired on 29 September 1983, I - like many other viewers - was treated to one of the most moving episodes of the entire Magnum P.I. series. I must admit that I only ever saw that episode one time... on the day it first aired... but it stuck with me for over twenty-three years. HOME FROM THE SEA was the only episode from the entire series that I vividly remembered for all of that time. It was the one episode that I told anyone and everyone about. It was the one episode that I tried and tried to catch when the show went into syndication. I never found it. So when Universal started releasing the series on DVD, I searched and I waited.
I purchased this boxed set FOR THAT EPISODE AND THAT EPISODE ONLY. And that episode alone warrants the five star rating. I cannot stress enough the impact this one show had on my psyche. I simply never stopped thinking about it. Just watch it and you will understand. I cried and so did my Wife.
I am sure that I will enjoy watching the rest of Season Four, and that may even cause me to want to buy some of the other Seasons. But all I really wanted is HOME FROM THE SEA, and now I have it. It only took twenty-three years for me to find it. I doubt if even Thomas Magnum could tread water for that long. If you are even remotely a Magnum P.I. fan, this is the Season you want because this is the Season with HOME FROM THE SEA.
FROM www.tv.com:
It's the 4th of July, and Higgins is playing in a polo match, T.C. is taking his baseball team to a professional game, Rick is out with his latest girlfriend on the King Kamehameha II yacht, and Thomas is observing his annual Independence Day tradition of a solitary day at sea -- until his surf ski is capsized in the wake of a recklessly driven speedboat and set adrift. Carried off further and further away from land by the powerful Molokai Channel, Thomas relies on childhood memories of his father's training him to tread water to keep himself afloat as he struggles desperately to stay above water and fend off a menacing shark. As the hours pass, Higgins, T.C. and Rick each have a sixth sense that Thomas is in trouble, and they team up to rescue him. Thomas approaches the twenty-four hour mark in the water recalling his wedding to Michelle and his father's burial -- on July 4, 1951 -- as Higgins scoops him out of the ocean, with T.C. in his helicopter overhead and Rick on the yacht nearby.Magnum P.I. - The Complete Fourth Season
Magnum P.I. - The Complete Fourth Season
Being Magnum fans I purchased the first four seasons as an Anniversary gift for my husband. We are really enjoying the DVD's.
We had them for a few days when a storm caused us to lose power off and on for 3 days...thankfully I had 3 of my four hour batteries charged for our compact DVD player. We spent 4 hours the first night of the storms watching Magnum. We had forgotten that the theme music had been changed, kind of strange at first.
We have been very happy with the quality of the DVD's so far and are anxiously awaiting for season 7 and 8 to be released.

Cheesy from Childhood, But Still Golden
How is it that Tom Selleck is still so appealing, despite the clunkiness of an 80s sitcom? It's a cheesy 80s sitcom. But Tom Selleck still makes it appealing.Magnum P.I. - The Complete Fourth Season
