Welcome to Magnum Mania! SelleckLover ! Dan , I concur with Walt regarding Aloha Magnum . I borrowed it from a friend of mine not too long ago and, me being a "MagHead" and all, I thoroughly enjoyed it. However, it does talk a little too much about non-Magnum stuff. Again though, if you're a "MagHea...

Yeah, obviously we are in highly subjective territory with these kinds of lists, which is ok. Case in point, I LOVE the lemon throwing scene from 'The Love-For-Sale Boat' episode. It's just a camp-licious riot! The Mag uses the seldom seen, but highly effective 'Lemon Attack', which is just downrigh...

Amazon recently announced that the bonus episode for the 'Complete Sixth Season' DVD is .......... Little Girl Who (7.7)!

I was really hoping for Paper War, but I'll take this. It's a great, classic episode.

Heh, what's messed up Walt ? The fact that someone actually themed a "spin-n-puke" ride to Magnum? The horrible artwork of Magnum's head? The video? Or all three? :lol: A friend of mine said he kind of looks like a clown, with the exaggerated forehead and the bushy, pointing-upwards, side hair. That...

Magnum: The Ride

Further evidence that Magnum is still alive and well nearly twenty years after its final episode .....

I tell you what, if I was s...

The "Game" in Little Games

Here's some new Magnum information you might find interesting (I did, anyway). After quite a bit of research, I've recently discovered that the computer RPG "game" Magnum plays at the beginning of Little Games (5.12) is not a real game, it's a mocked-up animation sequence made to look like a real on...

Thanks for The Brazilian info Shermy ! I had totally forgot about that one. I recently found out some interesting information. Season Four's 'Dream A Little Dream' used The Beach Boys' Surfer Girl (a perfect song for that episode, btw) in the original broadcast and early syndication packages. The so...

Re: Modern Day vs. 80's Setting

For example, why chase Higgins down when you could just call him up and say, "Hey, the car's about to blow up." LOL! That cracked me up! :lol: Well, it changes everything doesn't it. For me, a huge part of the charm of the show was its 80s setting - the nostalgia factor. The clothes, the hair, the ...

The suggestion of Steve Zahn pretty much tells you everything you need to know about the tone of the film, though. Quoth my wife, "Steve Zahn!? The guy from Reality Bites !?" I actually think Matthew McConaughey could be quite good in this role. He's certainly an A-List leading man, which is good f...

At this point in the game, I tend to agree with you Walt (Do you mind I call ya 'Walt'?). I'm certainly not against a modern take on the show. The tv movie (either network or cable) really needed to be done back in the 90s, before Hillerman retired. Even if by some miracle they green-lighted a tv mo...
