Movie Reviews of Magnum, P.I. - The Complete Third Season
Movie Review: Interesting Season
Summary: 3 Stars
This DVD was okay, but Magnum's 1982-83 Season wasn't as good as the 1st Season, 2nd Season, 6th Season, 7th Season, or 8th Season, because the Third Season of Magnum wasn't quite as funny as the first 2 seasons, plus I had noticed that on the Closed Captioning of each 3rd Season episode of this Magnum, P.I. DVD had left out a lot of the words that were actually said and they had revised the way the words were actually said on each episode, unlike it was on the DVD box sets of Season 1, 2, 6, and 7.
In addition to that, Magnum's 3rd Season wasn't as sophisticated as the 1st, 2nd, 6th, 7th, or 8th Season either.
Therefore, Magnum's 1982-83 Season kind of lacked some of the more sophisticated traits that all of those other seasons had.
So the creator(Donald Bellasario) should've done better on Magnum's Third Season, especially more like he did with the first 2 seasons.
On the other hand, Magnum's 1982-83 Season had some cool episodes too like "By It's Cover", "Mixed Doubles", which were my 2 favorite episodes of the 3rd Season, especially since they had an episode with Stuart Margolin, which played Rockford's ex-con buddy(Angel Martin) on THE ROCKFORD FILES, which was kind of intriguing, since Stuart Margolin's guest starred character on the "By Its Cover" episode was similar to his character on Rockford.
It was also interesting watching cast collide on the "KI's Don't Lie" episode when Magnum ends up teaming up with Rick and A.J. Simon from the detective drama "SIMON & SIMON" to solve a bizarre mystery on a curse plaguing the islands of Hawaii along with the fact that "Simon & Simon" was kind of a spin-off of Magnum, P.I.
I also liked the episodes "The Arrow That Is Not Aimed", "Birdman Of Budapest", and "Forty Years From Sand Island", since they bring up things from Magnum and Higgins past and bring in some unusual intriguing things to those episodes like trying to retrieve a stolen priceless Japanese plate in the "The Arrow That Is Not Aimed" episode where Magnum and Higgins end up being called Magnum-San and Higgins-San by Magnum's client.
The "Forty Years From Sand Island" episode was also an intriguing episode, especially when someone tries to kill Magnum and Higgins for revenge, due to some Americans torturing and killing a Japanese man while some foreigners were held captive at a prison camp in the past.
Additionally, the Third Season seemed to talk about Magnum's days in Vietnam the most more than any other season of Magnum, P.I. throughout Magnum's whole 8-year run on CBS for some reason. So this review should be helpful to anyone who was a Magnum fan that watched Magnum religiously every week when it was on CBS in the mid 1980's.
