Magnum, P.I. 1980 Magnet

Magnum, P.I. is the quintessential '80s action show whose magic others have aspired to recreate ever since it's 1980 to 1988 run. The show centered around Thomas Magnum, a Vietnam vet now working as a private investigator in Oahu. He lives in the guest house on a massive estate, where its unseen owner lets Magnum stay in exchange for his services. He is surrounded by an eclectic mix of characters that act as sidekicks who accompany him on his adventures in solving cases around Oahu. The energy of the show was cranked up from the start as the electric guitar riff driven intro took off, interspersed with shots of Magnum and crew in the midst of their adventures, Oahu in the background, waves crashing on the beach.
