Re: Birdman of Budapest (3.16)

Continuing with season 3: I was prepared to _not_ like this episode. I recall not enjoying it the last viewing. But, I really liked it this time ( gave it an 8 ). Some silliness, but fun nonetheless. Lots of screen time for the Jimmy, which I still think is a cool SUV (although I don't think they we...

Re: The Arrow That is Not Aimed (3.14)

Another top 10 episode for me (and a rating of 9.5), from a season full of top 10 episodes. Not much more to add to what others have said, Mako is terrific and makes me believe he's a modern-day Samurai. I've had Saki a few times, and didn't find it particularly potent, not more potent than grape wi...

Re: Of Sound Mind (3.13)

A top 10 episode for me (rated a 9). Not perfect, but fun, and the entire ensemble is present (essential for a great episode IMO). Also has the distinction of being the first MPI episode I saw as a 13 year old. My policeman dad was visiting one of his buddies on the force, and this episode was on in...

Re: Mr. White Death (3.9)

I'm working my way through season 3. I've seen this one a few times, and I think enjoyment of this episode is highly correlated with enjoyment of professional wrestling. I skipped it this time around - perhaps the only episode where I do so.

Re: Heal Thyself (3.12)

Working my way through season 3: I enjoyed this one (rated 8). Two MASH veterans. A great scene between Marcia Strassman and John Hillerman. Not an action-packed story, but it kept me interested throughout. Since Col Flagg was the true antagonist - I'm assuming he was an FBI agent posing an a CID ag...

Re: Black on White (3.6)

Voted 10 (perfect). One of the great episodes and I wouldn't change anything. It really has everything: the interaction between Magnum and Higgins, Rick and TC (Rick in particular has a few humorous lines), an interesting story where we learn more about Higgins' past (a darker episode in his past), ...

Re: The Trailer

When the trailer began - with our protagonist in a spacesuit - I thought I was watching an ad placed before the trailer. Then I realized: "Oh, no, this is Magnum." That set the tone. I do hope that, as others have said, this scene (and the scene at the end) is an exaggeration by Magnum, or a post ho...

Re: Favorite Season

I'd go with season 3 as well, with seasons 2 and 4 so close behind.

Re: The Elmo Ziller Story (2.21)

I really love this fun and (relatively) light-hearted episode. Great performance by John Hillerman. And wow, Lexi Ziller.

Re: Best and weakest seasons!

This may be controversial, but I'm a season 1-4 guy. While there are several good - maybe great - episodes post season-4, the tone of the show changed sufficiently that I don't enjoy those seasons. Same here - but I'll also watch a couple early season 5 episodes. As you say, there are a few good ep...
