@eagle, I'm relatively new here and still wandering but your sentiments match exactly mine and I'm pleased to have stumbled on this thread. The opening quote of it relates trying to explain the depth of MPI to the Unfamiliar. I was surprised to realize there must be people who only see the glitz. T...

Just what the subject says: How many times have you watched the series? Really interesting thread, @eagle, and I thank you for it. (BTW, you might adjust the question to "complete series.") For one thing, it seems such a really basic question yet maybe has taken all these years of MM.com for it to ...

Two quotes from another thread -- http://magnum-mania.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=3356&start=40 A lot of non fans and occasional watches would no doubt miss the underlining message of the series. I have tried to explain to people that the show has a lot more depth to it than the obvious flashy ca...

@Ivan >But I agree. I have zero interest in what's out there today. I'm definitely lost in the 80s (and 60s, >and 70s, etc.) and I'm in no need of rescue. :D :D That's a great statement. I enjoyed it. I want to share something--a revelation--that kinda echoes Pahahu: After a broken marriage and bein...

A funny thought came to me while blasting my classic music down the highway (R&B, rock, hip hop, club disco, etc., not necessarily in that order): Not only I have no interest in adding to my collection esp. recent hits) but this mirrors my TV viewing: my favs are three: MPI, Frasier, and Seinfeld. I...

Great point, @waverly2211, TM is an insider to what the Navy is investigating/operating on. He's the clever one and wouldn't want to show his hand. One thing though he's also a civilian so it's unlikely the Navy can put him in detainment. And precisely because he is a civilian he doesn't have to kow...

Thank you, @MikeS, but unfortunately here we cannot directly post things how I am accustomed at other sites. Because the scene involves body language it would have been nice to post photos of it as illustrations. Luckily people can go directly to their copy of the episode if they need to. Thanks aga...

A great scene for film study is found in S3E1 (around 1:09:50) when Magnum confronts an admiral. This scene shows great scriptwriting/direction as well as characterization. A question arises: Is Magnum actually a wimp? Although we don't expect a hero to be absolutely the strongest in the universe, w...

Here I'd like to pool info about virtual tours, aerial with chillout music , on video. Youtube has a lot. Here's a really good one (4k, 90min.): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AtJV7U3DlU It goes from Waikiki to the north shore, showing a lot of the beaches besides island mountain scenes. If a vid ...

Solid show! 'Nam scenes realistic, Hawaii scenic shots, great job by Tanaka character, great to see the Ferrari totaled , good story though I thought the criminal confessed too easily, and last but surely not least--the babes. One of the better episodes for foxes.

Thank you very much! The name is one I've been using as a forum name probably since the late 90s. To be honest, I didn't put a lot of thought into it at the time, just combined two things I like - coral reefs, and monkeys. Also seems that no matter what forum I've used it on, the nickname "Reefer" ...

🌴 Island-T Mobile :magnum: Hey guy I hear you were out of town for awhile. 👨‍✈️ Ri-ght! Where did ya hear it? :magnum: Your phone was dead for days and days. So I got worried and called your mom. She said you were on maneuvers and family could not have any contact in any form electronic, personal, ...

...was three days ago. Huh. I hadn't gotten on in quite a while, honestly I got off all internet discussion boards about a year and a half ago, and then today for some reason I decided to see what's going on here. I couldn't put my finger on it, and then I looked down at what I'm wearing today: Pin...

Nice article BUT: 1 ► The top picture was poorly chosen: TM appears a bit uncouth. There are at least a thousand pics of him in action that do our hero the justice he deserves. 2 ► The other photos show how lazy the editors of this pub are: They couldn't dip the photos in photoshop to spruce them u...
