Have just received my Season 6 copy from Amazon UK this morning - shall let you know within a few days.

Well, I've just finished my reviews of Season 6, so seems like a good time to revive another ancient thread.

I've decided I've been too hard on S6 over the years - I find it much better than the terrible Season 5!

1. WAY OF THE STALKING HORSE - One of the grittiest feeling stories, this is a really strong episode from this end of the show's run.

2. PHOTO PLAY - I know some will take issue with this (and I agree that Cassie Yates is hard going) but I just found this one so funny, especially the cat speech!

3. DEJA VU - Although over-talkative, and maybe more could have been done with the plot, I have to love this one simply because it is Magnum visiting my home country! Actually, make this joint second.

4. THE TREASURE OF KALANIOPU'U - I now feel I've overlooked this one for many years - coming to re-watch it to review, I really enjoyed it.

5. SUMMER SCHOOL - Another ep that I've somewhat overlooked through the years, this one is really fun. Too bad we never saw R.J. again in the series.

Honourable mentions: 'OLD AQUAINTANCE' - not a classic, but after the weak and over-serious fifth season, this was a refreshing return to the feel of earlier seasons. 'MAD DOGS AND ENGLISHMEN' would have made Top 5, but it would have worked far better as a two-parter.

I didn't like 'ALL THIEVES ON DECK' (although many do) or 'A LITTLE BIT OF LUCK... A LITTLE BIT OF GRIEF', but taking the turkey is 'THIS ISLAND ISN'T BIG ENOUGH...'

1) Way of the Stalking Horse

2) The Kona Winds

3) The Hotel Dick

4) Summer School

5) Photo Play (I agee with Jay, the cat speech is priceless)

I wonder why in the other thread season 6 was criticized. I think it does contain some no brainer episodes but I also think it contained several important character development episodes for both Higgins and Magnum.

I thought "I never wanted to go to France anyway" was a strong story as well as Mad Dogs and Englishmen, however the latter IMHO was stunted by being a one part story; agreeing with the comment made above. It started out strong, but finished with the typical fist / gun fight sequences, but in contrast the coda was strong as well.

Way of the stalking horse was a dramatic improvement mainly in directing. It's a shame this feeling wasn't extended to more episodes.
