I personally have all 7 DVDs and think this is one of the best made-for-TV-movie series ever made. This series is definitely Tom Selleck's best work, IMHO.
This 8th movie promises to be a very good one, and true to the series by the late acclaimed, author Robert B. Parker
Trivia: I was selected as an "extra" on his TV series, "Magnum, PI" Series TV episode, "Little Girl Who" in 1986, and got to know him, John Hillerman, Larry Manetti and Roger Mosley during my (business trip) stay on Oahu, Hawaii.
I couldn’t agree more. This series is very well done.
We’ve enjoyed the movies. Looking forward to watching this one tomorrow night.
I wrote Selleck a letter....saying my friend and I could guard his mansion better than the dogs. I did get a typed response on a postcard with his picture. Gave it to my granddaughter.....Oops....forgot to tell her I was sorta drunk and silly when I wrote my letter.
This is one time when the movies series is better than the books.
Ping to this “Jesse Stone” TV Movie alert, on Sunday evening.
My sister recently wrote Selleck asking for an autograph for her neighbor, who’s a big fan. He sent a picture, personalized with the neighbor’s name. He seems like a nice guy as well as handsome.
Here’s the live link to the DVDs:

I like the TV series more than the book series.
He’s one of the nicest, most personable (and Conservative) people I’ve ever met and had an all-too brief opportunity to work with, in 1986.
Wow, sf; that’s the one from “Little Girl Who”! Brings back some good memories...
Tidbit of 1986 trivia. I had my pic taken w/ Tom on the “LGW” shoot, and he had his arm around my shoulder. I’m 5’10”; he’s 6’4”, and we were shoulder-to-shoulder, but I was standing on an orange crate! Hilarious pic!
Cute little girl. I wonder what happened to her?
“...saying my friend and I could guard his mansion better than the dogs...”
I have no doubt you two could!
“The boys”, as Higgins (John Hillerman) called them, were large but very tame and friendly Dobermans on the set.
The running family dinner scene in which grace is said and everyone crosses themself is sure to infuriate the libs...they are probably protesting it now.
Tom Selleck for President!
Yes sir; I’m a big fan of “Blue Bloods”, too. I watch it every Friday evening.

Sorry I missed that great show and link in my original post, but it slipped through somehow.
Blue Bloods is one of the few network shows I watch... (NCIS/ NCIS:LA, CIS:NY (Gary is another conservative), Two and a half men (John Cryer is a Republican) and the Fox Sunday Cartoons (mostly The Simpsons, Family Guy and American Dad) are others.)
