VIDEO – 3.75/5, AUDIO – 4.0/5

Magnum P.I.: Season Two is presented with a 16×9 enhanced 1.78 widescreen aspect ratio as originally aired on CBS. Although there are some minor artifacting that I come to expect from standard definition releases, this is an otherwise good looking picture, taking full advantage of the colorful and warm Hawaiian locale.
