Magnum P.I.: Complete Eighth Season (2008)

Aloha, already.

It was time to end it--and for many, it seemed as if they did end it at the end of the seventh season with the episode "Limbo"--but money talks and so they end it here.

The fatigue of familiarity brings all of it down several notches from previous seasons, and worse, one suspects the episode “Innocence, A Broad" isn't the series at its best.

Still, the show continues to be carried by Tom Selleck's formidable charm, not to mention the idea that his character Thomas Magnum continues to himself in more questionable situations. The give-and-take between him and his friends Higgins (John Hillerman), TC (Roger Mosley) and Rick (Larry Manetti) help to ground the manufactured mayhem.
