Amazon.com:Return to the Big Island for more adventure with Tom Selleck's charmingly roguish detective hero, Thomas Magnum, courtesy of this three-disc set, which compiles the entire second season (1981-1982) of
Magnum, P.I.. The 22 episodes included here (among them the two-part "Memories Are Forever") crystallize the key to the series' success: an appealing blend of action, drama, mystery, and comedy, cemented by Selleck and his likable castmates, especially John Hillerman, who would earn a Golden Globe for his work on
Magnum in '82. Highlights of the season include Magnum's attempt to stop an international assassin ("The Jororo Kill," with Tyne Daly), the arrival of Hemingway-esque author Mad Buck Gibson (Darren McGavin) in the episode of the same name, and the aforementioned two-parter, which reunites Magnum with a woman he thought to have died after marrying her while serving in Vietnam. The usual array of classy guest stars are also on hand for this season; in addition to the aforementioned actors, there are turns by Mimi Rogers, Vic Morrow, Vera Miles, Jill St. John, and Elisha Cook Jr. (who plays a much different character than his recurring role as "Ice Pick" in future seasons). And
Magnum obsessives should note early appearances by Gillian Dobb, who played Agatha Chumley in numerous subsequent episodes, as well as one of Higgins's colorful, estranged half-brothers in "The Elmo Ziller Story." It's unfortunate that the set itself doesn't match the quality of the Episodes--extras are limited to second-season episodes from
Knight Rider and
The A-Team--but
Magnum fans should be pleased to have all the episodes in a single set, and best of all, commercial-free.

Three episodes do not play correctly and when you look at the DVD itself you can see that they are poorly made with stains and de-lamination on edges and the center. Too bad because this is a fun show with great scenery and fun chemistry between the stars.

I ordered these for a Christmas gift for my wife. The second disc of this season was bad and the replacemt was even worse. The second disc skips, freezes and is missing whole scenes. I am really disappointed.

I ordered this DVD series at the beginning of December. I waited, then called, it was on the way they said and then found out it was sent to a home in Texas. Just make sure if you are buying anything on Amazon it says SHIPPED from Amazon and NOT from another company that is using Amazons website to sell their items. My little boy was so sad that Santa didn't bring the tapes he wanted. I was not to happy with this order and will think twice before I order things on line again.

Delivery was quick and I love the Magnum Series. I can't wait to get the rest.
