78 of 82 people found the following review helpful By grundle2600 "grundle2600" (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Magnum P.I.: The Complete Eighth Season (DVD) Magnum P.I. is my favorite show of all time. Season 8 is the last season.The original plan was that season 7 was to be the last season. "Limbo," the last episode of season 7, was originally broadcast as the last episode of the series. However, after that episode was broadcast, they decided to do one more season. When season 8 first aired, they broadcasted an edited version of "Limbo." Whereas the original version of "Limbo" closed up the storyline, the edited version sort of left things hanging. Universal has announced that the season 8 DVD set will contain the episode "Limbo." I am guessing and hoping (but am not certain) that this will be the edited version, because the original version was already included on the season 7 DVD set. For the record, I do not like the idea of changing something after it has already been officially released. For example, I love the original theatrical versions of the "Star Wars" trilogy, and I hate the changes that...

Well...this is not entirely true. I found a few discrepancies with the final episode, "Resolutions." First off, when this episode ran in first-run trim back on May 1st, 1988, the infamous theme song intro and actor introductions that were synonymous with every prior Magnum episode were not used. On the DVD version it is...and oddly enough, they use the same opening theme intro from seasons 6 and 7, not the one that was used for season 8. Secondly, the beginning scene is edited from the original version. You can even notice how the music was dubbed over if you listen carefully. Third difference, in the first run of this particular episode...there was an ending credits tribute of scenes and music from previous season episodes that lasted close to 2 minutes at the conclusion of the final episode, followed by Magnum looking into the camera donned in his naval officer's uniform and saying, "Good Night."...

Now that I'm 30, I began revisiting the shows on DVD. Once I got past the styles and became immersed in the stories again, I was surprised to discover that this show has held up well with age, far better than many of my other favorite 80's shows such as The A-Team, Knight Rider, or Miami Vice. The reason why is that this show had the perfect balance of comedy, mystery, and from time-to-time an unexpected touch of melancholy wistfulness as we discover the true characters beneath the surface, including Thomas Magnum, (spoiler alert), a boy who lost his father on the fourth of July when he died in the Korean War, lost his youth, his innocence, and his brother in Vietnam, lost his wife to another man, lost several of his best friends to more violence, and who never seems whole again, never...
