The last Magnum PI episode you see...

It is funny how the minds works, but I recently had a bizarre thought: if I were about to leave this world (that is, die) and I had a single opportunity to watch one more Magnum PI episode before checking out, which one would it be?
An obvious choice could be Limbo, with its tying up of loose ends and the walk into the hereafter by our hero. Or maybe Unfinished Business. This episode has a good mix of redemption and forgiveness. How about Home from the Sea, where a young TM says goodbye to his father. Or maybe a light-hearted comedy romp is your final send-off?

If you were faced with this decision, which episode would you choose and why? As for me, I haven't decided yet. I'll let you know later.

"Birdman of Budapest"!

Italian Ice!
I'm not sure why, but the mix of romance (Mimi Rogers is just plain beautiful in this episode and in my opinion is the best match for Magnum of any girl in the series) and humor (the whole scratch on the Ferrari routine is my favorite) just makes this episode the best of the what Magnum is about. Yes, it doesn't have the great stories of Memories are Forever or Did You See the Sunrise, but it is just good natured TM at his best.

Tropical Madness would probably be close.

I just couldn't watch one of the heavier Magnums as the last one. I'd have to go out with a lighter one.

Of course, heaven to me (which is where I hope I go when I die) would consist of watching Magnums (what else would bring that level of joy?

). And if they don't watch Magnums there in the afterlife, then I need to find out where they do!

"China Doll" or "The eight part of the village"

Paper War, just to go out with a smile on my face.

I say China Doll too. I think it's my all around fave episode.

China Doll...or Black on White.

Perhaps a little too intense but still my all time favorite is Death and Taxes. Somehow seems appropriate as well...............

I couldn't pick just one episode.

I prefer the ones that make me laugh.

It's one of my favorites as well. It was the first episode I thought of.

Then maybe I'd got with a two-parter so I could have a little extra time!

Oh, and Of Sound Mind, because it's hysterical.

Memories are Forever

Although I started this thread, I am still not sure what my episode would be. I am kind of leaning toward "Little Girl Who".

or "China Doll"

or "Death & Taxes"

or...aagh!! I can't decide!!

I'm with Styles. I think China Doll is the best episode they made. It has everything. I guess they peaked early!

Hmm. Good idea Amanda. If I'm about to face the firing squad, I'd go with a two parter too. I might go a little controversial here though and say L.A. There's something I really like about that episode. Did You See the Sun Rise would be too dark for that particular moment in life.

Don't forget to get some Old Dusselfdorf in a long neck bottle with your last supper! And maybe throw in some jelly donuts just to sentimental!
