12/19/2009 - Aloha Magnum: Larry Manetti's Magnum P.I. Memories (1999) is back in limited print (500 copies)! They are exclusively available from Larry Manetti's website for the low price of $25. All books are personally signed by Larry Manetti. This is a great time to buy the book, as used copies of the book usually run for around $80. To promote the re-release of the book, Larry gave a great podcast interview for On Screen & Beyond in late November (where he talked about the book, Frank Sinatra, his time on Magnum P.I., and a possible Magnum P.I. "reunion show" with Tom Selleck, John Hillerman, and Roger E. Mosley), and another one (30 min.) to Blog Talk Radio on December 18th.

10/3/2009 - Variety magazine has reported that principal photography has begun on the seventh Jesse Stone telefilm, Innocents Lost. On location filming began in mid-September in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Halifax has been the primary shooting location for all of the Jesse Stone films. Tom Selleck is again executive producer and co-scriptwriter on the project. Still no word yet on when the sixth installment, No Remorse, will air, but look for a potential "March sweeps" time frame.


Kwan Hi LimKwan Hi Lim (1922-2008)
9/18/2009 - Sad news to report, longtime Hawaii-based actor Kwan Hi Lim passed away at age 86 back on December 22nd, 2008. We didn't hear about it until recently. Lim played the memorable, quirky Honolulu police lieutenant Yoshi Tanaka in 27 episodes of Magnum P.I. (from 1982 to 1987). He also appeared in 26 episodes of Hawaii Five-O (from 1970 to 1980). In addition to acting, Lim was also a practicing attorney in Oahu, and was later a per diem judge for the Family Court system in Honolulu. R.I.P Kwan!

4/30/2009 - Magnum P.I. was awarded a special "Hero Award" at the 2009 TV Land Awards show. The award "salutes a lead character whose crime-solving feats were astounding, yet remained thoroughly authentic, offering equal parts of street smarts, wit and charisma." The show aired on the TV Land channel on April 26th at 9 p.m. EST. Matthew McConaughey (!) presented the award to Tom Selleck, Roger E. Mosley, and Larry Manetti (John Hillerman did not attend). During the acceptance speech, Selleck recited a poem from Maj. Michael Davis O'Donnell who was Killed in Action in Cambodia on March 24, 1970. The entire presentation and acceptance speech can be found here. Roger E. Mosley's red carpet interview can be found here. After the show, Selleck gave an interview with Entertainment Tonight's Leonard Maltin where he reiterated that he would love to do a Magnum P.I. movie if asked, and if the script was right.
