You could argue that the Audi was Robin's choice, not Higgins'.

Higgins' personal watch, however, is a Japanese Seiko.

Larry also played a great solo in the theme song for Barney Miller.

You might also want to buy a Scandiphone (I'm sure there was one on Higgins' desk at one point, and there was one somewhere else on the estate): http://www.singulier.com/boutique_us/images_produits/08140243_1-c120.jpg ... they're available for order many places online. I bought a red one for my bedr...

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Higgins impersonating a mobster / drug dealer! I was enjoying watching him play the part, but the best part is his "oh my God" when the cops bust in and see him holding a baggie of drugs!

I just watched this one today, and regarding the 'flub' with Magnum chambering a round and then tucking his .45 into the back of his jeans, I noticed that he did flip the safety on before tucking it in. I'm no firearms expert, but I believe that is a pretty standard practice for carrying a single-ac...

Like Higgins (and Hillerman), I am quite averse to exercise, and I have never really been into sports, especially not competitive sports. So I really like when she says "last one back is a rotten egg!" and Higgins says "so be it". That made me laugh as it has always been my attitude to competitive s...

I was a casual Magnum viewer when it originally aired. I don't remember much about which episodes I had seen, but I definitely remember the final scene in this episode! It shocked me on several levels. I never thought Magnum would shoot Ivan, but I remember being impressed and thinking that Magnum d...

I just watched this for the first time, and while I did enjoy it and take it as a sillier episode, there is one thing that bothered me. I agree that Hillerman is a great actor, and Higgins is my favourite character in the show (Magnum is my second-favourite). However, in the first half of this episo...

I just bought some Ralph Lauren Polo shirts, inspired by the fact that Magnum wore one. I bought one in navy blue, just like the one he wears in the premiere episode. I think of it as my 'Magnum' shirt, and it's my favourite. If you make a black polo with the cross of lorraine on it, I'd certainly b...

I've definitely spotted the perforations that you see on a tropic strap. Also, his strap tapers while RAF bands don't. At least the strap he's wearing for most of season 1 seems to be a tropic. However, in a recent season 1 episode (I forget which), he was wearing something different again, as it wa...

Thanks for the reply - actually, I just watched Thicker Than Blood, and there's a pretty good look at TC's watch there. It's definitely NOT a Chronosport - it looks like it could be a Seiko diver, maybe a 62MAS or a 6105, which were popular watches in Vietnam. But I can't tell for sure, the pictures...

Another Get Smart fan here, loved it as a kid. Now I've watched all 5 seasons with my kids, and they loved it too!

Hi all, a couple of years back I got into Magnum as i caught episodes on a local channel. (That led to me discovering this forum!) Trouble is, they'd only play seasons 3 through 8, then repeat. I just got myself a copy of Season 1 on DVD and am savouring each episode as I watch! Anyhow, I notice tha...

There is an error in the episode details for this one - it says that Shelly's car hit the Ferrari, but it was in fact the car chasing Shelly that hit the Ferrari. And later in the episode Magnum inspects the damage on that car (the four-door Ford, not Shelly's car).

Jim

Thanks Rubber Chicken!

Higgins is becoming my favorite character. I can see why Mr. Hillerman won an Emmy for the role.

The more I watch this series, the more impressed I am with the writing and dialogue.

Jim
