Scenes cut from re runs... How about on DVD'S?

When first Magnum was rerun it was great. But I remembered seeing the "Mr. White Death" show and when Magnum was supposed to look at the camera... the whole thing was cut right out and went to commercial!!!! Magnum goes with Earl to his hotel after they eat some sushi, Earl is thrown out that night ...

That was a big ole screw up!!!!! How the Hell did NBC get in there?!?!? In reality a one hour show is really only 45 minutes long or so. A half hour show is really only 20 minutes long. I've seen scenes totally cut out from shows and a few from Magnum... Will make my own post about it right now too ...

That's the way it's done. They'll sell the shows and certain episodes are picked and they'll be the same ones you'll see over and over again. I've seen the same Columbos now for decades on tv and they don't ever change!!! Some better known, real hot shows like The X-Files or Seinfeld will have entir...

Met some celebs here and there, being from NY you do bump into some if you're at the right places. Seeing John Lennon walking past me with Yoko when I was a wee Gritty in the late 70's and 80's is a memorable one. But along the lines of Magnum, I used to hang at a great local joint and one of my fri...

You do know that Magnum always looked at the camera along with speaking to the viewer in voice over. And on some occasions the other members of the cast looked at the camera on their own but I don't think Rick ever did. Just wanted to see if anybody knew if he did infact take a look at the camera so...

Tom Clancy connection?

Hope it's okay bringing this up here even though it's not about McConaughey PI... It was heard years ago that Tom Clancy was interested in writing the Magnum screenplay for a movie adaptation. He was a fan of the show and wanted to do something with Magnum in Naval Intelligence and involving North K...

Looking at the camera... What about Rick?

Higgins looked at the camera a few times. TC looked at it more than Higgins and even talked to it a few times, 2 times I think...? Magnum looked at the camera and it was part of the show that seperated it from most others. But did Rick ever look at the camera. I don't think he ever did and wanted to...

Will Magnum look at the camera?

I would like to see it even though it might not be a part of the flick.

Holy Moley do I hate that "Birds of a Feather" one!!!!!!!!!!! And the Robert Foster one... do I hate that going back to Nam one so. And the one with Higgins becoming part of some kind of revolution group... That's a bigger HOLY MOLEY than the first one I mentioned. John Hillerman in action scenes - ...

Michael Clark Duncan would fit if there were another cast altogether. Zahn, Tyrese and McConaughey are more in the same age range I believe. Obviously as a fan, I don't think there's a need to make Magnum a movie, I don't believe the fan base is going to make a difference today. There's an appeal fo...

Mr Shermy made me laugh too, I was bringing that up to a buddy after I saw the episode on Sleuth. It was more of a nostalgic thing bringing up the fact that 20 years has past and there were no cell phones back then where all Magnum had to do was ring Higgins in the Audi with his CO and tell him to s...
