I really like your HD quality TV series disc reviews, and I hope that you do some more in the future. There are so many great TV series which have never gotten a proper HD remastered release in the USA.
iakona23 I appreciate the kind words, I will have more exciting reviews coming soon, I will also have an update video coming soon as well to explain why there has been a little gap between reviews. So stay tuned some exciting and great stuff coming soon. I appreciate the support.
Great review! Magnum is one of the best tv shows not just of the 80's but of all time as well as one of the most successful. I'm glad to see love still shown for it from a complete blu ray release to it still being in reruns. Forget the reboot this show will always be legendary.
I agree it was a great show and the reboot doesn’t hold a candle to this original series. Make sure to subscribe there is tons more great content thanks.
I’m a fan of all your DVD reviews! What a cool library of treasures you own. I am still looking for “The Secrets Of Isis”, “Electro Woman & Dyna Girl” and “Stop Susan Williams”(the Kenneth Johnson short lived series “Cliffhangers” 1979). If you have info of any of these shows let me know. Thanks! BionicDan
Thanks for the positive/kind words. I haven’t seen anything about those shows you mentioned but I will let you know if I ever find anything. I have some new video reviews coming very soon. I just uploaded a new Video update on the channel. Please make sure to SUBSCRIBE.
Learning here, I want this I'm new to region locked and such. Planning on getting a unlocked 4 k bluray. My question is in in USA .my Amazon has 3 for 199.00 same thing I'm watching on your review. Can I use my Amazon prime account from USA on the uk. Just wanted more info on this all
I have a bunch of TV Series Comparisons planned, It just takes me a while to get each one done. But I have a huge brand new TV Series comparison review coming out next weekend, so make sure to SUBSCRIBE to my TH-cam channel, I have tons of great content coming out each week.
The Blu Ray set is beautiful. Quality is wonderful. The DVD set was pretty lame. I love Magnum P.I. It never jumped the shark. Like you said, it had a little bit of everything: Action, Comedy, Drama, great scenery, great music and wonderful characters that worked so well with each other. There were only a handful of episodes that were average. Most of them were above average.
There have been no plans in the USA to release Magnum P.I remastered on Blu ray in the USA. There is another remastered release of this series on Blu Ray though from another studio that I just received that I will be doing a comparison review between this set and the newer released Magnum P.I. Blu Ray set from a different company here in the future. I can tell you the newer set boxing is much better so far, but you are going to want to make sure you are SUBSCRIBED to my TH-cam channel so you don’t miss out on any of this exciting content. Due to streaming rights there are no current plans to release magnum power remastered on Blu ray in the USA so I Hope this helps you out. Make Sure to SUBSCRIBE, thanks
Hello, love the content as always. Have you ever noticed if your Magnum episodes have, uh, like an audio stutter. I don't know what else I can call it. It's not skipping or pausing but some of my episodes have a character talking and there's like a second where what they're saying stutters. Thank you as always.
If you buy the French release from Elephant Films, the entire series is zone free ! The only down side, the pilot is the syndication version. And from season6 and forward, episodes credtis are in French (names, guests, etc.). Audio comes in French OR English original. Subtitles in French only are not mandatory.
I have all 3 Blu Ray sets and I am working on a in depth comparison review between the 3 Blu Ray sets of Magnum P.I. for my channel. So stay tuned & make sure to subscribe to my TH-cam channel. Thanks
I just saw that there is a Mill Creek release coming this Spring. Are you planning on checking that out to compare with the Fabulous Films version? I'm guessing someone realized that nobody likes the Universal release, and wants to cash in on US customers.
It’s not being released in a good way by Mill Creek & I have talked about it a LOT over the last couple months in the comments section on the newer Blu Ray release review of Magnum P.I. here is the link to that exact video for you to watch & check out the comments: th-cam.com/video/WJ8OFhRuErc/w-d-xo.html This should answer all your questions.
After what I've seen from your stills / screenshots, don't you think the picture, despite its crisp clarity, is a bit oversaturated? All the people look like they're sunburnt.
So when I do screen shots they are based on the device and video processing of TH-cam so they are not that saturated in person. It’s all the video processing that happens when I make the videos and add the screenshots the colors sometimes appear off. That’s just the nature of making TH-cam videos they don’t always appear the same as in person. But it looks amazing in person just like it was originally filmed not over saturated at all in person. Hope this helps. Stay tuned I have some great new content coming soon about some great new sets I have found.
What Blu Ray player do you have? I have a Samsung, set to Region Code 0, that plays DVDs and Blu Rays from all regions, but for some reason, refuses to play this set. Am reluctantly considering buying a new player...maybe 4K, but not sure if it will work. FYI, I’m located in South East Asia.
You should try setting your Blu Ray player to region B it should play just fine then for you. The nice thing about region free Blu Ray players is you can change the regions on them very easily so if that doesn’t work then your Blu Ray player is most likely not a unlocked region free Blu Ray player. Here is a video for you to watch where I explain about the different regions and the region free Blu Ray player I use: th-cam.com/video/biKqTKqIfyI/w-d-xo.html My current region free Blu Ray player is a Seiki 4K Uvision hope this all helps you out, please don’t forget to Like, Subscribe & Share my videos thanks.
In Search of Physical Media thanks for both your informative review and reply to my question. I don’t think my Blu Ray player was all region for Blu Rays...as it was for DVDs...so I have just ordered a Region B 4K player so that I can watch this Magnum box! 😁
Thanks for the kind words I am glad you enjoy my reviews. As far as the color tone of people skins on these reviews, I address and answer this several times in my latest review for the Incredible Hulk complete series Blu ray review,. To give you a brief explanation the colors you see on my video reviews change based on the video processing programs that TH-cam and your computer, phone or whatever device you are watching these videos on use, so the screenshots are uploaded at the best quality I can but I can’t control how video processing software changes them on each device. The colors are not over saturated when you buy all these Blu Rays and own them, it just appears that way sometimes for some people based on all the video processing software on your device and the processing used when making these video reviews. So the screenshots are to give a rough reference but no TH-cam videos are ever going to be as good looking as what you will see when you watch a Blu ray at home. A Blu ray set will always look better in physical form & in person than on a video review. I hope this helps and all makes sense to you. Please make sure to SUBSCRIBE & Share these videos, thanks
Hoping one day Universal will still release this (or license it out) here in the States. It’s a shame there’s still no American Blu-ray release for this timeless classic.
Yes, i just posted a small update about this to another SUBSCRIBER yesterday. I talked with a representative at Koch media last year and the full remastered BluRay series was supposed to come out by December last year but because of the virus and other delays they have pushed back the release date and they are now not planning on releasing it till 2nd or 3rd quarter this year they said. I will be doing a full review on that set when it gets finalized. So once I find out more definitive info I will most likely make a new upcoming releases video including this release as well as the other dozens of releases I have been notified about. Hope this helps you, please make sure to SUBSCRIBE to my TH-cam channel, there is always tons of exciting content coming out, so stay tuned. Thanks

Hope they didn’t DNR the pants off the later seasons… sounds like the season one source just was in worse condition… hope that’s all it was. Cause I haaate DNR. (I can handle extremely mild applications, but mostly I prefer none.)
I explain about the screenshots in other videos, but to give you a brief explanation: these screenshots in some of these earlier made videos on my channel look over saturated due to the software I was using to create the videos at that time.

Hi I was looking at getting these but was worried about the music rights for the episodes as I have some shows on blu ray that most of the music is just gone because they could or did not bother to get the rights what is the music like on these

I noticed you have a King of Queens blu-ray box set. I've got a German version and all the discs are in a pizza box. I'll start watching your reviews.
I agree with that rating of 9.4. It's such a solid release.
Excellent review, I have to have it now, lucky enough there is a store just up the road that sells them (subbed for sure) 👍😀👍

I love your reviews. Though the sample pics you posted raises some concerns for me, as the all the skin tones look waaaaaay wrong... all too red/pink.

Would love it but in the UK this is around £100-as much as I love it I need to pay the mortgage
They put the set on sale around the holidays that’s when I stock up and buy my sets. Keep an eye on it they have some good sales sometimes.
Hey brother,
