I asked my wife to take a picture with the so-called "pillbox" when she visited Hawaii a few years ago. One of my favorite pics of all time.

I'll give you a little history. I taped all of the MPI episodes when it started in syndication in '86. Then after it ended its run in '88, I decided to write an episode guide, going through and re-watching all and taking lots of notes. After I went through every episode, and before I started "writin...

Don't tell 'em that I've updated it with a "new" version and made a Kindle version. It will lower it's value. :D :D :D

I don't know if that makes me the winner or just shows my age. I got hooked on the old A&E Magnum forum years ago, giving tidbits from my episode guide for that week's shows. And since JJ started this one, it's been fun to share a little knowledge every once in a while!

I've been on this board since '07, I believe. Great "chatting" with lots of you...and sharing all the research I did while writing the episode guide.

I have the orginals and have made scans of them. Either is available to my Magnum friends. I can send you a jpg file of a scan. Or an 8.5x11 of a scan. Just let me know if you have any interest.

I think "Death and Taxes" is the only other one centered around the 4th.

The average ratings in my episode guide for each of the eight seasons: #7 2.4 #8 2.3 #4 2.1 #5 2.0 #3 2.0 #6 1.9 #2 1.7 #1 1.6 I was surpised when I saw this, because I consider season #6 the worst, but the numbers are a little skewed because of higher ratings for "Going Home", "Way of the Stalking ...

I actually think that 10 episodes just scratch the surfice. I can understand a box of 10 episodes for A-team and shows like that. When i see one episode of A-team i always ask myself "Didn´t i see this one last week?" Magnum have so much more depth to offer. But i guess they are hoping more people ...

I've always thought they would need around ten episodes to tell the Magnum "story"... 1,2 "Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii" 3,4 "Memories are Forever" 5,6 "Did You See The Sun Rise" 7 "Mac's Back" 8 "Little Girl Who" 9 "Limbo" 10 "Infinity and Jelly Doughnuts" and if you could add 11,12 for "Resolution...

I rate the episodes from 1 to 4 Crosses of Lorraine in my Episode Guide, although if ratings could go higher, "Did You See The Sun Rise" would get a 5. ("Let Me Hear The Music" would get a .5, by the way) Here are my top rated episodes: 4.0 Did You See The Sun Rise? (2) 4.0 Home From The Sea 4.0 L.A...
