Magnum P.I. is my common point to of all time. Season 8 is the last season.

The modern belief 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 fresh version of “Limbo” closed up the storyline, the edited version sort of left things hanging.
Universal has announced that the season 8 DVD region will acquire the episode “Limbo.” I am guessing and hoping (but am not clear) that this will be the edited version, because the current version was already included on the season 7 DVD dwelling.

For the characterize, I do not like the notion of changing something after it has already been officially released. For example, I care for the novel theatrical versions of the “Star Wars” trilogy, and I loathe the changes that George Lucas made for the “special editions.”
However, having both versions of “Limbo” is a genuine thing, because the edited version sets up the stage for season 8.
Here are the episodes from season 8:
Infinity and Jelly Doughnuts - It’s hard to talk about this one without giving away any spoilers. So let’s honest say that this is a very heartwarming and animated episode. My only criticism is that in order for the region to work, it requires rewriting the past history of what had happened in “Limbo.” Some Magnum fans wonder if it’s really glowing to contemplate this episode (and all of season 8, in fact) an official portion of the Magnum storyline. Some fans have suggested that the entirety of season 8 was unprejudiced a dream. I guess if you analyze it too great, it can kill your enjoyment. So I recommend that you try not to reflect about it too grand. Anyway, this is a improbable episode.
Pleasure Principle - The immensity of what had happened in previous episodes means that Magnum level-headed needs some more time to recover, adapt, and adjust. So Magnum is peaceful dealing with what happened to him. Also, Magnum and Higgins sort of switch personalities with each other. This episode has the most realistic depiction of a psychiatrist in any episode of any TV present that has ever been made. I treasure how Magnum imagines Mac eating so many pastries that he explodes!
Innocence, A Vast - One of the things that I adore about this series is that the women tend to be quite quick-witted and lively. So I was disappointed that the writers decided to spend an idiot bimbo in this episode. I really do not like this episode.
Tigers Fan - While this is certainly one of the better episodes of this season, I was saddened that the writers decided to slay off one of the recurring characters that I had approach to care for over the course of the series. I like this episode, but it kind of hurts to view it.
Forever in Time - This is one of those episodes engaging Magnum investigating someone who died a long time ago. But it’s not as superior as previous episodes of that type, such as “The Woman On The Beach” from season 2.
The Fancy That Lies - Magnum discovers that his friend Carol is adopted. This is kind of like one of those cross “After School Specials.”
A Girl Named Sue - Relieve in the season 4 episode “Rembrandt’s Girl,” Carol Burnett was the guest actress. Now I cherish Carol Burnett. But the script for that episode was design too cliched and unoriginal - Magnum and Burnett got locked in a bank vault! What were the writers thinking? Well now Burnett is befriend again in this season 8 episode, playing the same character. Fortunately, the writers did a distinguished better job this time around. In this episode, Burnett now has a license as a private investigator, and she and Magnum unknowingly acquire into a shootout against each other. This is one of the better episodes of this season.
Unfinished Business - This is my well-liked episode of this season. I really, really don’t want to spoil the residence for you. Let’s honest say that this episode is a gift to the long term fans of the series - the ones who have really been paying attention. In order to fully understand this episode, you need to be familiar with quite a few previous episodes. Suitable off the bat, you need to know what happened in “Memories Are Forever” from season 2 and “Dinky Girl Who” from season 7. But beyond that, there are other things that are not necessarily so determined. For example, rob the relationship between the woman and her father in this episode, and compare it to the relationship between Magnum and his occupy father in the season 4 episode “Home From The Sea.” Also, compare Magnum’s decision at the waste of this episode regarding Quang Ki, to Magnum’s decision regarding Ivan at the destroy of the season 3 episode “Did You Eye The Sunrise.” A lot of work went in to the writing of this episode, and it pays off in so many ways. This is a truly great, emotionally charged episode. There’s a series of very tense scenes with no dialog, combined with a musical montage where Magnum uses his espionage and spying skills. Will Magnum acquire caught or not? It’s quite nerve wracking to behold. The song playing during the montage is “The Brazilian” by Genesis, from their “Invisible Touch” album. There’s also a comic scene where Higgins reads Magnum’s grocery list.
The Mammoth Hawaiian Adventure Company - There are two state points going on in this episode. In one of them, Magnum (unsuccessfully) decides to begin his have tourist company. This is credible, as Magnum was always willing to try original things. The other site line is like one of those bad “After School Specials.” Over the course of the series, it has been well established, with plenty of realistic credibility, that even though T.C. didn’t have any children of his absorb, he was level-headed very expedient with kids. As coach of a Exiguous League baseball team, T.C. was consistently an splendid role model, and always inspired the best in the children that he spent time with. But then during the season 7 episode “Missing Melody,” the writers, who apparently couldn’t deem of any righteous ideas at the time, decided that all of a sudden, T.C. had two children who appeared magically out of thin air, and that one of them was kidnapped. Now in this season 8 episode, the writers, who are again apparently short of righteous ideas, have decided that T.C.’s son has joined a street gang. What were the writers thinking?
Legend of the Lost Art - Tom Selleck (the actor who plays Magnum) would have played Indiana Jones in the movie “Raiders Of The Lost Ark,” except that he had already signed on to play Magnum. So in this episode, he finally gets to play Indiana Jones. This episode is a tall parody of “Raiders Of The Lost Ark,” with many scenes and lines of dialog making references to the movie. I fancy the movie, and I care for this parody.
Transitions - The paper manuscript for Robin Masters’s latest fresh is stolen. Of course in the season 1 episode “J. Digger Doyle” we learned that Robin Masters didn’t type out his manuscripts - he dictated them into a tape recorder. Luther Gillis also shows up, which can be generous or abominable, depending on your feelings toward him. In my conception, this episode is largely filler.
Resolutions - This is the two hour series finale. You know I won’t spoil the set for you. I always relish watching this episode. Obliging night!
I was 11 years passe when this explain went off the air and I remember how captivated I was by the characters, the action, and the mystery of it all; Magnum P.I. was the coolest character I’d ever seen. 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 perceive that this prove has held up well with age, far better than many of my other common 80’s shows such as The A-Team, Knight Rider, or Miami Vice. The reason why is that this explain had the perfect balance of comedy, mystery, and from time-to-time an unexpected touch of uncomfortable wistfulness as we observe the fair 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 finding anything that seems to work out. What made Magnum so titillating is that he didn’t always plug off into the sunset with the girl and the money. He was a guy who’d had a tragic life, but who quiet tried to manufacture the most of his life, trying to recapture the youth he’d never had. Magnum had far more substance beneath the surface than most shows of that era and was rarely given its due. Most of the depth is due to Tom Selleck himself; he was Magnum and composed is. If Harrison Ford can quiet play Indiana Jones, then Tom Selleck should be Magnum if and when they finally find the film into theatres. Select the entire series, grab your Ragged Dusseldorf, Magnum’s approved beer, and remember a time when we were all younger and the sun always rose over Robin’s Nest and the tidal pool and the guest house with a sleeping private investigator help from an all-night case…unbiased hoping that Higgins isn’t ready to flee any more model planes or blow up gopher holes on his day off.
