Only 1 week away until the release of the final season of Magnum PI on DVD. The first chance I get, I'm going to get it as soon as possible. It's now my number 1 purchase priority!!! I REALLY want it, because not only is it the show's final season, but of course, the biggest and most obvious reason of all.... IT'S FINALLY MIGGY'S SEASON After Thomas and Juliet at long last became a couple! IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!

list 8 tv shows for your followers to get to know you ★ i was tagged by @disappearinginq

Psych - My first true obsession since the X-Files went off the air in 2001. My biggest obsessions of the past were all WELL before streaming was a thing which meant you HAD to be in front of the TV when it aired or you simply missed out. For example, I missed the final episode of the OG MacGyver. I didn't get to see it until I bought the complete DVD box set decades later. (special mention of Monk which led me to Psych back in the great days of USA Network)

Sherlock - I was late to the party and didn't start watching until after the last season ended. This is, since 2017, my biggest current obsession. I have a strong attachment to detective shows and can't believe how long it took to finally watch. I love, in particular, the portrayal of the characters by Benedict, Martin, Amanda, Mark, Louise, Rupert, and Una (rip).

Fullmetal Alchemist (OG and Brotherhood) - Same, @disappearinginq! My love for this world never ends! Like you there are things I love about both versions. The way Brotherhood developed characters and the wider world (plus the ending) are so so good!! Meanwhile the first series handled certain emotional episodes SO much better!!! I'm sure you know WHICH one in particular. This was also one of the only times I took part in a writing group to help develop the multi-arc vision of a writer who goes by Heathenesque. I didn't write much as most has been created by her but it was so much fun! It still exists on LJ, as well as Mediaminer and The Pit (FFN).

Cowboy Bebop - The first anime anything I ever saw. My brother-in-law had it on VHS back in the day and was watching it at our house. I took an interest and was immediately hooked. I have lost track how many times I've rewatched episodes and there's a reason its considered one of the best anime series created.

Good Omens - WE NEED SEASON 3!!! Entirely quirky and initially feels like just comedy. But my GOSH there is so much depth under the humor and it poses very solid questions about faith and religion as well as friendship, love, what being human means, etc. And that was just the first season. I'm still not emotionally recovered from season 2.

Star Trek - Again, like @disappearinginq I love this show - TOS, TNG, DS9, and Voyager. I even had them on VHS back when cassettes were sexy lol. Star Trek was one of my earliest fandoms and I had such a crush on Spock.

Doctor Who - Thank goodness for streaming cause I watch this on repeat aaaaaall the tiiiime!! I consider it a comfort show and I don't get tired of it no matter how often I rewatch. It may be packed with, often, silly effects (particularly early on) and deeply questionable science. But I also haven't cried harder from the most wrenching scenes and emotion it triggers.

My Foundation - I'm dedicating this last one to the shows that built the tastes I'd have as an adult: MacGyver, Simon & Simon, Hart to Hart, Remington Steele, Scarecrow & Mrs. King, The A-Team, Magnum PI, Airwolf, Blue Thunder, Beauty & the Beast, The Fall Guy, Knight Rider, Moonlighting, as well as Saturday morning cartoons, The Electric Company, and Sesame Street.

id like to introduce you to the wonderful world of tv shows on DVD, shows that lasted seven, eight seasons or so. Like Magnum PI, or Night Court, or Knight Rider, Airwolf, Quantum Leap, Murder She Write, MacGuyver, Columbo, Gilligan's Island...

This is sad news because Prodigy, despite being made for younger audiences, was in my opinion the best of the nuTrek series, and now it appears it could be the shortest lived Trek series (previous record holder in terms of episode count was the 1970s animated Trek series).

Due to aspects of fandom now reaching the point where anything with a certain person's name as producer is to be rejected outright, many have chosen to ignore this series which is actually the closest to what people actually wanted from a "nuTrek" but, sadly, quality is no longer being taken into consideration. This is due to earlier nuTreks such as Discovery and the first season of Picard "poisoning the well."

What's odd here is that Prodigy aired on Nickelodeon as its primary network and wasn't a P+ exclusive, but Paramount/CBS still owns the thing. The concern I have is despite S2 having been completed (part of a disturbing trend of shows being cancelled after renewal), there are media reports that it will not only be immediately removed from streaming but it will be a "tax write off", which has some people worried it might be destroyed (google the cancelled streaming series "Final Space" (voice actors included David Tennant) to see what happened with that). Trekmovie's report is actually the first I've seen to indicte that S1 may still end up in circulation if another network/streamer can be found (and at least the first half of Season 1 is on DVD and Blu-ray too). The big problem is (I can't avoid the spoiler but I won't give detail) Season 1 had a cliffhanger ending because a 2nd season was, they thought, guaranteed, so if they can't find a home for Season 2 that story will remain incomplete.

Not a good week for shows I enjoy: although it gave it a reprieve (technically running an extra 2 seasons, or rather a 2-part 5th season), the revival of Magnum PI co-starring Perdita Weeks has been cancelled too, though it's still expected to air its final episodes in 2024 and is unlikely to disappear off the face of the earth.

Yeah that just rolls off the tongue

The fact that there will be a Magnum PI reboot - starring Jay Hernandez, yay! - has me craving a re-watch of the whole of Magnum PI OG. 

Amazon DE has it for €49.92 incl. shipping, all 44 DVDs. I crave this the same way I craved MacGyver OG ever since I fell in love with MacGyver! The only exception to these reboot cravings is Hawaii 5-0, the old show never really did anything for me when I watched it on Kabel 1 back in the day, so no getting the OG for me. But MPI, I might give it to myself as an early b-day present!

I swear nothing feels better than completing a DVD collection and I always love to experience that feeling because of today I FINALLY got the last season of Magnum PI on DVD meaning now I own the entire 2018 series on DVD!

And for those who are wondering, I also own the original series on DVD too on boxset! I love this series.

[migginsprivateeyes]

someone recorded the Magnum PI s1 and 2 Gag Reel thats from the DVDs and so many hilarious Miggy scenes Jay and Perdita cant stop laughing.

I haven't watched ncis in like three or more months ( things happened and I never had the time to) and I just found out like a few minutes ago that Emily wickersham has left ncis. I am a little sad because ellie was one of my favorite characters ( I have absolutely no idea as to what else happened in the show but I hope to get season 18 when it comes out on DVD so that I can watch it and actually know what on earth is going on because I am so confused at the moment) I am curious as to who is going to sit in the iconic desk that was once Kate's, ziva's and Ellie's. Also I heard that both Nell and Eric left ncis la which I'm not all that surprised about. I'm a little sad that NCIS Nola is counciled I was hoping for a three way crossover but I am super excited about the new ncis Hawaii and I have this weird feeling that there will be a ncis and Magnum pi crossover at some point. Anyways that's all I have to say.

Magnum PI Season 3

So I saw the posts on instgram today of the first day of shooting and the blessing. Mostly it made me sad and pissed off to see. I really enjoyed this show and it has so much potential but I can’t see me watching it as it stands.

Ending with obvious fraud to get around immigration laws to give a foreign privileged white woman with a history of being a bit off and on with treating at least two employees pretty crappy sometimes a multi-million dollar estate to see to it she’s not subject to the same laws as others. And with the estate being a heritage estate with a cultural centre ON SITE owned by that same privileged foreign white woman who also has a history of mocking the cultural beliefs of the curator of the estate and its cultural centre.

AND, with in the S2 DVD extras the remaining exec producer making a comment about the fun of changing the dynamic at the end of the season so Higgins would be Magnum’s boss... When based on what they’ve established - Robin Masters having that estate in part BECAUSE of Magnum (maybe he was rich before, but they established he wrote the first White Knight book on the estate and that’s why he bought it after the books because so successful so if they didn’t make all the money needed to buy it, they are the reason he bought it) so arguably Magnum is only there because Robin owes him.

They’ve already established that not only is the character based on Magnum, it’s based on Robin having his file and extensive interviews with him (Knight lasts forever). So Robin fucking OWES HIM. So even if Magnum asked him to help, for him to just say hey, you know that place I gave you to stay and the car to drive? Yeah, I just gave them to the woman who likes to sic dogs on you for fun and insult you in about 90% of your interactions then be friendly the rest just to keep you guessing. Yeah, you work for her now - KTHXBAI

(and I have a head canon that he accepts living there even with “working” for him as security consultant because it allows him to take cases that let him help those most in need and be “of service” like he says is all he wants to do in that video from a press conference after they escaped that they had in the episode with the dead guy sending him money to find his own killer. By living there he doesn’t have to take so many cases based on just needing the money)

And now I’m really pissed off again.

I don’t get into many shows and this one grabbed me for a bit. There are some episodes that are damn near perfect (Blood Brothers, Ties that Bind, Bad day to be a Hero to name a few), and others that are just piles of shit, and still others that have moments of glory interspersed with piles of shit.

If this show fails they’ll say it’s because of losing Lenkhov but really it’ll fail because they stick with this colonial white privilege and misogyny disguised as “she’s a bad ass that’s why she’s so nasty to him” BS.

And now I’m even more pissed.

Rewatching Mondays are for Murder and loving when at least one of the guys was at all in the same story line as Magnum and even though Rick was mostly with Higgins, he was telling her that lying to Thomas wasn’t a good move - partly because he’d find out anyway - which he did.
