Following what you see tonight on NBC, it makes all the sense in the world to want to know a Magnum PI season 5 episode 17 return date. Why wouldn’t you? This show is as popular and as entertaining as they come, and we tend to think that there are all sorts of great stories still coming over the next four episodes.

Unfortunately, this is where we are entering a sea of uncertainty at present. Just like it is the case for the show’s Wednesday-night companion here in Quantum Leap, there is no new episode of the Jay Hernandez – Perdita Weeks series next week. The same goes for the week after. What’s the reasoning behind this? Well, it is quite simply connected to what’s happening when it comes to the network’s holiday schedule. There is a Thanksgiving special on next week and the week after that is the Christmas at Rockefeller Center special that is on every year.

When you consider all of this at present, the absolute earliest that you can expect to Magnum PI back on the air is when we get around to Wednesday, December 6. Luckily, the network has now confirmed that! As for the three episodes after that? We’ll have to wait and see.

After all, consider this — given that NBC’s typical scripted lineup may not air until we get around to February, there is a chance that the remainder of season 5 could be saved until January, a time when ratings are typically good. Nothing is confirmed at present.

As for whether this is really the final season…

It may seem as though that is the case right now, but why give up? If you keep watching live and discussing the show on social media, a little bit goes a long way. We have certainly seen enough evidence to know that anything is still possible in the world of TV, even after a cancellation. Magnum PI, in particular, has cheated death before!
