...I watched "The Eighth Part of the Village" last night! :) that great line from Higgins comes from: To the untrained eye this may appear to be just another suburban lawn. For your information, we are standing on a scientifically formulated carpet of Bahia, Kentucky Bluegrass, and an African Zoysi...

A fun episode, Ki'is don't lie. "Oogaboogah,' by TC, now that's an expression I haven't heard in quite awhile. Very surprised they included it. One of the important features is how Thomas Magnum's character is built to be sterling as they come--he goes out of his way to greet the limo driver; he avo...

Ivan, perhaps you are a WWII veteran or identify as one or had a uncle die fighting Japan in the war? I am sorry if that were the latter. If you were in the Service, I thank you for your service. That background could explain partially your own personal use of racial slurs but does not condone it. ...

@Ivan, you had to twist the matter so grotesquely to fit your agenda that nothing you said is true. My point about Japan has nothing to do with your claim: >>Riiiiiight. A couple of Vietnam combat vets talking about which path the >>Japanese took to attack Pearl in '41 are going to be dissecting wh...

On the surface, I grant you all that but--it completely misses my point. Your description has stripped the context of Hawaii from it. One of the things that has impressed me greatly about MPI is its faithfulness in presenting Hawaii (but there are critics who disagree!!:D ). On this score it is reas...

Exactly! PCism has exerted an unfortunate stifling of free speech in our colleges and universities as well as in the everyday lives of many. I hope anyone espousing PCism will desist for the good of the community. I'm glad PCism hasn't emerged here but it would be troubling if it did. Good reminder...

● Did you catch that the first utterances of Nuzo seemed foreign accented? Could have been foreshadowing for what would happen, or to prime the audience for his treachery. Is that when they're swinging in bamboo cages or when Nuzo meets TC at the airfield? I didn't detect anything there. I thought ...

Nice tribute. Just for sake of discussion, in regard to the view that the episode presented a hero killing someone in cold blood for the first time: This view is not necessarily true. I wonder if the media reviewers really assume TM killed him. It was in TM's character just as much to purposely miss...

My favorite title sequence is the one used in the latter half of season 1 -- the one with the Hawaiian Luau.

The pages for the titles amazed me. Truly its mania at its zenith!

Great party! Thanks for the invite!! Before my comment, let me invite you all to test your sleuthing skill on the TMPI test: http://magnum-mania.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4670&sid=95e2add7bb042e57fb9367322982f3a4 The case is still unsolved!

This case is still unsolved, so all and any takers are welcome to test their sleuthing skill on the TM PI Test. Come right up!

@Magnum4eva makes an intriguing claim that both the original and the reboot can be (equally?) enjoyed. I almost threw up after about 5 minutes into the reboot. Sure the opening space jump is fantastic but once grounded on Earth to our senses, we must realize that the reboot is a repackaged ripoff. E...

You mention the theme song. I love it. Which version do you like best--the first, second or third? (the music is probably the same but the video differs) By "third," do you mean the one used in the reboot? If so, definitely the second is my favorite, but I also very much like the original. If there...
