The last "Magnum" season (except for the real last season....) November 12, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Magnum P.I. was cancelled in this, its seventh season. Tom Sellick was all set to take up the role of Indiana Jones, the character of Magnum was killed in a warehouse shootout (that's not really giving away a plot point since it happens in the first 5 minutes of the season finale). I think because of the impending end of the series, the producers "took off the gloves" and the result is a poignant and edgy season. That's not to say that Higgins (and Luthor Gillis) doesn't provide ample comic relief, but the "serious" shows are more serious and darker, much to the better for the viewer. Even when a show is basically a remake of an earlier episode (as is the case with "Solo FLight," a remake of "Home From the Sea" from Season 4).

So the really good episodes far outnumber the weak episodes, and even the weakest episodes (e.g. those early-season episodes that bring back "beloved favourite characters" from previous shows) have some great parts in them. The most important aspect of the season, however, is the formalisation of the Michelle plotline - in a few episodes we see the relationship between Magnum and his (ex?)wife and daughter play out. I normally don't like the introduction of small children into an action show or movie, but Michelle's daughter is exceptionally well played and brings the show to a new level of maturity.

Another obvious improvement in the shows of this season is the increased production value, or the impression of it. The shows feel cinematic in scope, using music to bridge acts, mixing up the visual styles, etc. Everything about the show is taken more seriously in this season than in previous seasons.

Anyways, the best shows of the season include:
Death and Taxes - sometimes known as the "Mama" episode (after the Genesis song that plays throughout). The first really "epic" show of the season. Magnum is taunted by a serial killer.

Little Girl Who - the aforementioned introduction of Michelle's daughter in an ongoing storyline.

Paper War - a comedy episode where Higgins and Magnum battle each other through practical jokes. Victims include the Bridge on the River Kwai model, and Magnum's rubber chicken. Not quite my favourite Higgins/Magnum battle (that would be the Season 8 episode "Pleasure Principle"), but probably it's second-best.

Novel Connection / Magnum on Ice - the crossover episodes with Murder, She Wrote (the M,SW episode is on the DVD, fortunately). As different as these two shows are (maybe because they were different), these episodes are very good. I think the tone is more Murder, She Wrote than Magnum (Higgins is oddly off-character in places, and there are the typical plethora of false leads in a M,SE episode). Works MUCH better than the Simon and Simon crossover from Season 3.

Murder By Night - an alternate reality, B&W episode with Magnum as Bogart.

Solo Flight - even the second time around, this story works. The writers wisely make it an homage, even having Magnum refer to events in "Home From the Sea" and using clips therefrom.

Laura - sometimes called the "Frank Sinatra Episode" - he plays a NYPD officer on the track of some bailjumpers. But there's something personal in his crusade..... I always thought of this as the "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight" episode, as it is the second episode featuring a Genesis song this season.

Limbo - Magnum is "killed," but his spirit stays in Limbo in order to "say goodbye" to his friends (and, presumably, viewers of the show). Fortunately, there is enough wiggle room to allow him to return for Season 8, which has another series finale which isn't quite as poignant, but still very good.

What more is there to say? There are few extras (other than the Murder, She Wrote crossover episode), but the discs are good quality, and it's always nice to see these shows free of advertisements and syndication cuts. Well worth the cost for the quality of these episodes.

Magnum Year Seven DVD October 8, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful

I bought this DVD because the average rating for viewers was very high. However, I was disappointed. Many of the episodes just made no sense at all and seemed disconnected. For example, the episode in which TC's daughter is kidnapped. There was no explanation as to why or to how the kidnappers knew to call the "estate". The episodes just seemed "too heavy", ridden with emotion that often made no sense. Give me year one through four- those were the absolute best!!
