Thanks

I’m guessing noteworthy beyond video quality:

Language: English (Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono), English (Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo)

Imagine the Blu-Ray much better sound too?

Guess so.

Would be cool.
Knocking my rubber chicken or my sloppy habits is within the rules, but you're attacking my character. I would like to think you don't mean that.

I like it. It has all the main elements of the show (including the short shorts) and it's done in a style similar to 70's/80's novel cover art.

Too bad the girl Magnum's kissing is the girl from Tropical Madness. I think Michelle would have been better.

The French label Elephant Films has now released seasons 1 and 2 on Blu-ray (and an August release for season 3 is planned). It appears these are region free, unlike the U.K. release from from Fabulous Films. I think it's a bad move to release these as individual seasons, as opposed to a complete box set (If sales are poor, they might discontinue the line), but at least they are supposedly region free so it's something positive. Still wish Universal would finally just release a domestic box set, but it doesn't seem like it's in the works at all :cry:

From squinting at the low resolution cover image, I was sure it was... Higgy Baby's baby, but I see that you're right. From a distance, they do look similar and Magnum was wearing brown shorts in this episode:

It should have been Michelle of course, but i am not surprised. They don´t have a clue, and probably don´t care either since only the diehards would react.
