 A Less Than Exceptional Season November 24, 2008
Magnum's 1983-84 Season is only a so-so season, because it wasn't as good as the first 3 seasons of Magnum, PI and it seemed almost as if they were trying to make it too much like the 3rd Season of Magnum, because the action seemed to have started getting a less & less interesting for a while until Magnum hit it's 6th Season on CBS.
It was interesting seeing
-Robert Pine in the "Dad" episode after his days as the grumpy arrogant Sgt. Getraer on CHiPs.
-Gretchen Corbett after her co-starring days as Rockford's foxy attorney girlfriend(Beth Davenport) on THE ROCKFORD FILES
-Shannen Doherty before her co-starring days as the sleazy bad girl(Brenda Walsh) on BEVERLY HILLS 90210 and her Christine Witherspoon days on OUR HOUSE
So now that Universal has all 8 seasons of MAGNUM on DVD, I'm hoping this will inspire Warner Bros. to finally release MATT HOUSTON on DVD, since MATT HOUSTON was a pretty cool private detective show too that was in competition with MAGNUM, P.I. throughout MATT HOUSTON's whole 3-year run on ABC, not to mention that Houston(Lee Horseley) had a slight resemeblence to Magnum(Tom Selleck).

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/refunds

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.
