N1095A, I'm surprized as I would have thought the tune ups to happen way before 50k. An interesting read indeed Jaybird. It's humbling to hear that a modern day Camry can accelerate to 60 faster and outdo Magnum's car in a 1/4 mile. No wonder he had so much trouble with the GTO in Face Value. I used...

Triple Nipple

I just noticed something at the end of Skin Deep (1.6) that reminds me of Scaramanga's triple nipple in the Man with the Golden Gun. While at the beach volleyball net, Magnum asks TC if he ever has flashbacks to Nam. TC does, but replies 'Nah, never'. Magnum appears to have something like a cardiogr...

By 'Green vest', I believe Jay means a singlet for those in Her Majesty's realm, or undershirt / muscle shirt on this side of the pond.

male bonding without having to make uninformed observations with sexual implications. I'd love to see a reality show...."Queer Eye Meets Jed Clampett." Watch out for Granny on that one! The queer eye guys would be straight for a few months until they picked all of Granny's rock salt out of their bu...

...When I was watching the show during its original run, I was 18 and progressed to 26 by the shows end... Luther, you and I are precisely the same age. Has anyone done a fan age demographics poll on this site? I didn't watch the first run series until about season 6. I don't think I made the time ...

That's downright nasty. The doll looks more like Mr. T, had he followed the Michael Jackson school of plastic surgery and skin bleaching. No resemblance to TS at all.

Why this site Rocks!

While watching episode 161 Resolutions (1), I wondered about the left handed salute to Tecumseh. While I know Americans salute with no headress (something never done in British and Commonwealth Armed Forces), I knew TS would never allow a flub with a LH salute. I looked up the episode on this site a...

A Glock. Oh My GOD Magnum! I always preferred a Webley-Fosbery, as I once used on Jerry at El Alamein, or was that Tobruk. Nevertheless the unique Fosbery has all the advantages of an automatic, but retains one trait of the revolver, useful for one in your supposed PI profession. It leaves no messy ...

Higgins Accent

Higgin's fake English accent always worked OK for me, but then again we speak more like Americans here in Canada eh! I've always wondered how his accent sounds to someone from England. There are a few members on this site from the UK and possbily some ex Brits living in North America that could comm...

Thanks James. It was definitelty good all the way through. I just prefer the early stuff with hard hitting action and light hearted humour between the main 4. Later episodes had long lost Aunts showing up (although Barbara Rush wasn't bad at 59), too many Agatha tea parties and even Angela Lansbury....

Jack Lord would have been an awesome guest. Imagine Magnum and McGarret going head to head over a crime. What a turf war!

Did the series turn for you too?

A lot of long run series have three phases. They start off well and then evolve into something even better as producers figure out what works. Finally, somewhere along the line they get to a point where the edge is gone and they start to go downhill. For me this happened for Hawaii Five-0, Mash, All...
