What are your favorite episodes of Magnum P.I.?
Some people here, such as myself, are long time fans, and we know all 8 seasons of Magnum P.I. by heart.
Others here are getting acquainted (or reacquainted) with the series from the first 2 seasons being released on DVD.
Whether you know all 8 seasons, or just the first 2 seasons, what are your favorite episodes?
My #1 favorite is "Home From The Sea" from season 4. This is the treading water episode.
"Limbo" from season 7 is one of my favorites. This was originally to be the series finale. But then they decided to do another season.
The two hour "Did You See The Sunrise?" from season 3 is awesome.
The two hour "Ehcoes Of The Mind" with Sharon Stone from season 5, which was a bonus on the season 1 DVD, is really great.
"Unfinished Business" from season 8 is one of my favorites.
"The Woman On The Beach" from season 2 is one that I have always enjoyed immensely. This one is full of action, adventure, mystery, and romance.
"Black On White,"
"Flashback,"
and "Faith And Begorrah,"
all from season 3, are really great.
The 2 hour "Memories Are Forever" from season 2 is also very good.
"No Need To Know"
and "The Black Orchid"
from season 1 are awesome.
A little trivia: guest actress Judith Chapman appears in "The Black Orchid" from season 1, and in "The Woman On The Beach" from season 2, and in both episodes
She is my favorite guest actor in the 8 season run of the series, and these are her only 2 appearances.
Well, those are some of my favorites. How about yours?

"Unfinished Business" must be the episode I have been wanting to know about.
There was an episode where someone dies and he goes wacko on some revenge trip, but while you see him going training and arming himself some wicked cool 80's industrial-ish music plays.
I'll remember that its in Season 8.
I kinda liked the "Murder She Wrote/Magnum" cross over episodes...probably because i like it when two characters from two shows or "universes" interact.
It probably also helps that both shows were on A&E back to back so you got to see the whole story play out. I hope the episodes are both included on the Magnum DVD.

The Magnum P.I. episode that crossed over with "Murder She Wrote" is called "Novel Connection," and is from season 7 of Magnum P.I.

Oh man, the one where he takes Higgin's Ferrari and he didn't know about it.
I mean, that is right up there with the Dukes of Hazard show where they jumped the General Lee, ended up in jail, and then tricked Roskow into letting them out.
HOW DO THEY DO THAT?

"Limbo" is my favorite...too bad the series couldn't have ended on it. It would have been a great way to end things. The John Denver song ("Sometimes I Fly Like An Eagle") always reminds me of that show.

I didn't really watch the show all that much, but "Did You See The Sunrise?" is one of the most powerful and moving episodes of any show I've ever seen. I still get charliegoosebumps thinking about that last scene.

I'd also vote for "Did You See The Sunrise" . For some reason or another I never saw this episode in reruns, maybe they didn't show it as much because it was two hours. I didn't remember the title of this episode until I saw it above and was going to vote for the one with "Ivan" at least I think that was the guys name.

The two part "Did you see the sunrise?" and "Limbo" will always be my favorites. I have a special place in my heart for "Memories are forever pt 1 & 2", "The Jororo Kill", "Mixed doubles", "The arrow that is not aimed", any Luther Gillis episodes, and "Laura" with Frank Sinatra.

"The Arrow That Is Not Aimed" is a wonderful tale of friendship, and also has some really funny scenes.
"Mixed Doubles" is so badly cheesy that I can't help but love it.
