Re: Magnum stuff spotted in Jesse Stone movies

I think they’re all well made tv films. I could be wrong but I’d think TS commitments to Blue Bloods may be the reason for no more JS movies. I'm glad the quality held up. Of course you are right, Selleck had to do the Blue Bloods series. Boy am I dumb. ---------------------------------------------...

Re: "Missing episodes" in the UK?

Hello folks I'm trying to combine research with my own memories in a small project I'm doing on British television and I wondered if anyone could help with these questions: (1) Does anyone recall the episode where Magnum and Higgins are having one of their many arguments while Magnum is eating raw ...

Re: Memories Are Forever (1) (2.5)

Just watching this one after a long while of avoiding it. All of the Michelle episodes were somewhat sad and depressing, so I tend to skip over them. But, the various occupational badges make a good discussion. My guess is neither the Surface Warfare or SEAL badges existed when TM entered the Navy ...

Re: Larry Manetti Interview

I read somewhere, it was Tom Selleck's decision that he and Larry would not appear on screen together in Blue Bloods. He was concerned a scene together might effect the credability of his Frank Reagan character. If I can find the article again I'll post it. https://www.looper.com/1273628/blue-blood...

Re: Did You See the Sunrise? (1) (3.1)

I always wondered if it was always the plan to bring Mac back as Jim Bonnick later in the series. Jeff MacKay episodes are usually some of my favorites. It was my understanding that he was written out due to staring Tales of the Golden Monkey, so another insider in Naval Intelligence could be broug...

Re: Fig Newtons

Selleck has stated multiple times in interviews that he doesn't like figs, but loves Fig Newton's.

Re: Magnum pi on getTV

Tuned in to GetTV on the HD antenna last night, then clicked back over to DirectTV and Voile, GetTV is now on DirtecTV, channel 83. It wasn't there a few weeks ago.

Quality is not that good, the HD Antenna is vastly better.

Re: Magnum pi on getTV

Tuned into GetTV on the backyard TV. Screen quality wasn't the best but that vs. not having it at all to watch with a cold beer, well I chose the watch with a cold beer.

Re: Professor Jonathan Higgins (5.13)

I gave it a 7. I ended up liking it more than I thought I would from the teaser. This newb is still getting used to a ratings system with numbers running from 5 to 10. TM breaking back into the office, where he knows they are trigger-happy... pretty careless. Sure, he risks his life all the time, b...

Re: Army-Navy Game

Tom played two years at USC on the hoops team. 1965-66 and 1966-67 seasons. Played in 7 games total. No stats from what I can Google. He did get a scholarship for basketball at USC after a stint at a junior college. This info is probably on here somewhere. I apologize if my info is redundant. I thi...

Re: Thomas Magnum--wimps out?

A great scene for film study is found in S3E1 (around 1:09:50) when Magnum confronts an admiral. This scene shows great scriptwriting/direction as well as characterization. A question arises: Is Magnum actually a wimp? Although we don't expect a hero to be absolutely the strongest in the universe, ...
