Re: Find Me a Rainbow (6.18)

My first viewing of this episode today and I found it slightly underwhelming. Highlights - Lydia, the pleasant beach “scenery”, Higgins getting splattered in the face with caviar and no Carol Baldwin. Lowlights - the final scene where the lost child turns up was rather jarring and unlikely, a repet...

Re: The Tom Selleck Thread

There is a lot of talk about Tom Selleck potentially losing his ranch once Blue Bloods is cancelled. I tend to think it is not true, that he was just being hyperbolic. But what does everyone else think?

Re: Way of the Stalking Horse (6.17)

I saw this episode for the first time today (only about 40 years after it was originally shown) and as many have noted it stands head and shoulders above most of season 6 (Kona Winds is a more than decent episode admittedly). A good, dark and atmospheric episode with a plot twist - something that e...

Re: This Island Isn't Big Enough (6.16)

This is another episode new to me and while it’s a somewhat average episode it did reveal one of those “it was acceptable in the ‘80’s” moments. The scene where TM forces his way into Starr Reed’s office made me feel uncomfortable - it was a man (ostensibly the hero of the story) using his strength...

Re: All Thieves on Deck (6.15)

I didn't enjoy this episode particularly well (too much like Murder She Wrote) but I also cheered out loud when the Skipper (Alan Hale Jr) appeared! He made it off the island!

Re: The Shorts!

Selleck certainly liked his shorts spray painted on. I’m glad someone finally commented on his shorts “wardrobe!” I remember when I started watching the MPI reruns a couple of years ago and the very short shorts bothered me, until I remembered that my ex-husband wore them in the 80’s too. I got so ...

Re: Paniolo (6.8)

This was reasonably entertaining and while I agree with some of the criticisms (including Rick and TC being shoe-horned in), I enjoyed the western feel and especially appreciated seeing a little more of Hawaii and learning about some of the history/culture.

Re: Round and Around (6.6)

Firstly dealing with grief; TC's face when he appeared at the door of his recently murdered friends house was so effective and I think Roger Mosely played that exactly right - in my view he would have seen friends/comrades being killed in combat and has had to deal with the deaths before. I know I'...

Re: Texas Lightning (2.18)

I recognize the flaws that many have pointed out about this episode, but I am, and will always be, a complete sucker for anything even remotely resembling a heist. Therefore, I really like this one!

Re: Deja Vu (2) (6.2)

I watched this on DVD as one long episode and I think it plays much better that way. I looked up where the break is when it was split for a two parter and that seems a little clunky. I enjoyed the episode, but my biggest complaint was Rick and TC seemed completely superfluously added in. I think it ...

Re: Deja Vu (1) (6.1)

Has anyone commented on the clear homage to Patrick McGoohan's The Prisoner, as Magnum takes the same route past the Houses of Parliament in a classic convertible? Didn't notice this the first time I watched Deja Vu... What a great catch! I didn't notice it either, but you are correct. As a big fan...

:D True! He seemed to be in every other episode in the early seasons, but we don't see much of him later on so it would have explained where he was all this time!

Re: A Pretty Good Dancing Chicken

I loved this one, if only because I laughed myself silly at Higgins in the topless bar. OMG. http://i.imgur.com/FZ9mS7c.gif She's not bad...but she's no Agatha Chumley. No one, and I mean NO ONE is Agatha Chumley, I;m surprised Higgin's wasn't hittin that! The clapping from those two people are in ...

Re: Magnum PI Continues!

This does sound fun. I wonder if the unfilmed scripts would be a good starting point? Of course, there could be copyright issues.

Does anyone know if Hallmark edits for time or for content?
