I just wanted to thank Rubber Chicken for all of his effforts in this endeavor. I finally downloaded Google Earth this past weekend and was able to view RC's project. Quite simply, it is awesome! And I don't use that word lightly. Outstanding job, RC. I'll be traveling to Oahu in 2010 and will use y...

This episode is one of my favorites for sentimental reasons. I became a huge Magnum fan in early 1990 when I was a freshman in high school and early that summer this episode aired late one night on WGN. This was the first episode I watched with my dad, who is a Viet Nam Vet. He had never watched Mag...

I picked mine from the episode 'The Last Page.' It's the name of Magnum's team mission in Nam when they were supposed to rendezvous with Ed Kanfer's team which was being flown in by TC.

Thanks for that info, IH. I completely forgot about Staubach. I guess Annapolis isn't like West Point where it's mandatory to serve four years active duty as a CO after graduation. I need to look that up.

There are so many Magnum babes to choose from. It's quite a fun dilemma. Of course, I go with J. Digger Doyle. There's just something about Erin Gray. I remember reading somewhere that she's a gun enthusiast and does a lot of target shooting. Makes her even more appealing, IMHO. There's one obscure ...

[quote="rubber chicken"]No girls in the clubhouse! We didn't say anything during eight years of Magnum flaunting his masculine form in various modes of undress for all the honorable and esteemed lady viewers.

You're right about the series not holding up well. That's a bit of an understatement, actually. But, Erin Gray still holds up pretty well. And that 'Space Vampire' episode still kind of creeps me out. That thing used to scare the crap out of me when I was a kid. IMHO, that episode was the highlight ...

A friend of mine was able to receive at least half a dozen RTN networks on satellite recently. However, as of January 5th, there is only one RTN channel available nationwide due to certain legal issues between two communications companies. Hopefully, everything will get resolved fairly soon. NBC doe...

James, at first that comment went right over my head, producing a faint but undeniable *whooshing* sound. I didn't know, or had forgotten that he played the butler in that show . I must have devoted my alloted butler watching time to Benson . Maybe sometime I should get the Soap DVDs from the libra...

Watched this one again and noticed a flub. When TM dives in the channel for the first time searching for treasure, he's wearing his team ring on his left ring finger. However, when he reaches the surface after finding the artifact, the team ring is now on his right ring finger. The underwater scenes...

'One More Summer' is one of my all time favorite Magnum episodes. Others on here may knock it, and I can understand that, but I really enjoy this one. Mostly because I LOVE football. I thought the guest cast did an excellent job, particularly the Dorcy character. Although, Dorcy as an Annapolis grad...

Just watched this episode. Hadn't seen it in years and I enjoyed it a lot more than I had the last time I watched it. It was a bit melancholy knowing Dana Hill had passed away so young. The only other role I remember her in was in 'National Lampoon's European Vacation.' Her basketball skills were qu...

Marta was also in a second season episode of Matt Houston titled 'The Crying Clown.' She basically played the same type of character as Michelle.
