Trivia:
One of the reasons for this series being set in Hawaii is that CBS did not want to close its Hawaii production offices when "Hawaii Five-O" (1968) ceased production in 1980. This show started production that same year and contains occasional references to Steve McGarrett and "Hawaii Five-O", although McGarrett was never shown. more

The very best on TV - ever., 2 October 2002
Author: Marco Smetz from Brueggen, Germany

Magnum,P.I. was and will remain the best TV series ever. It had it all: action, humour, tragedy and characters you believe in. No TV series will ever reach Magnum,P.I.'s quality. To all who have been involved in the creation of this fabolous icon of the 80s: Thank you!
