Mysteries on TV, your source for the most complete selection of detective, amateur sleuth, private investigator, and suspense television mystery series now available or coming soon to DVD, has only new season of a series being released this week.
Tom Selleck starred as Magnum P.I. for 8 seasons on CBS from 1980 through 1988. Thomas Magnum, a former naval intelligence officer, was a private investigator in Hawaii. In exchange for providing security, he lived in a guest house on the estate of Robin Masters and drove the estate's red Ferrari. Managing the estate was Jonathan Higgins played by John Hillerman. Helping Magnum out were his Vietnam buddies TC Calvin (Roger E. Mosley) and Rick Wright (Larry Manetti).
Magnum P.I. was popular with audiences and critics alike. The series and its cast were nominated multiple times for Emmys, winning once for Tom Selleck and once for John Hillerman.
The 7th season was intended to be the last for the series, with Magnum shot and presumed dead in the final episode. However, fans convinced CBS (and presumably Selleck) to return for another season. The Magnum P.I. Season 8 DVD set of 3 discs contains the 12 episodes of the final season including the 2-hour finale, Resolutions. A bonus episode of The Rockford Files is also included in the DVD set. During its 5th season in 1978, in an episode titled White on White and Nearly Perfect, Tom Selleck guest starred as private investigator Lance White.
