I just watched this episode again. It was on WGN yesterday. I remembered that somehow, Magnum drove off from the Sicilian villa in a red Ferrari, just like Robin's, but I didn't remember the specifics. Turns out, he stole it! 8) This made me think about how he got there in the first place. Did he ta...

Interesting observations, Doc! This is another case where suspension of disbelief is essential!

Not that it really matters, but according to IMDB, his last name is spelled "Bonig", not "Bonnick". Does anyone know for sure which is the correct spelling?

I find the preview scenes on each episode extremely annoying. I don't have the box sets for MPI, but I do have them for the original Star Trek series. They include previews which were actually run at the end of the previous episode, or during the week as a commercial for the show, I think. On the S...

I believe that is from the episode: "The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii", season one. That's the one! I remembered the scene with the gumba and his henchmen after they got their car stuck in the cane field, then I verified it by comparing the credits. I don't remember seeing the bloopers before, but this ep...

Does anyone remember this sitcom with TS? I do, VERY vaguely -- though I wouldn't have remembered it if something else I was searching for on the 'net hadn't mentioned it, but I swear I don't recall seeing a single episode. However, this is a very interesting review of it at: The Closer Review I do...

The syndicated versions of the episodes are about 5 minutes shorter than they were when they originally ran in prime time. That is so that they can entertain us with even more commercials. :lol: Sometimes they are lucky and there is 5 minutes of the show that can be cut without being missed. But oft...

I like this episode. I watched it again today after it aired on WGN. I know I have seen it several times before, but I didn't remember that it introduced two important characters that would appear, on and off, throughout the remainder of the series: Lt. Tanaka and Doc Ibold. It probably should have ...

That is a great story, IslandHopper, especially the part about saving the tapes and the fact that they are still in the same plastic garbage bag almost 3 years later! :lol: I'm just a little older than you -- I was in my twenties when MPI was on the air in prime time. I don't really remember why I s...

I submitted that to IMDB back in November, the last time it ran on WGN -- just before I found your site, James. Apparently they didn't believe me! :x I just submitted it to them again after watching the episode and seeing that they had not included the Cromwell reference... Looks like they believed...

Wow! Those are some spectacular flubs, IslandHopper.

Nice work!

It definitely required more suspension of disbelief than your average MPI episode!

TC may have been a tight end at Grambling, but that was when he was 15-20 years younger.

James, here is the bit of dialog from this episode that is the reference to Five-O: Magnum , from TC's copter: Billy, this is McGarrett of Five-O. Was David Norman armed? Billy : No. He just had a backpack and an orchid lei he wanted to leave in Erin's memory. It is the most direct reference I remem...

Last time I saw her was a cat food commercial back in the '80s Hmmm... that pretty much says it all! :lol: She was good looking, but not much of an actress, IMHO. I don't remember her in Airwolf, though. BTW, according to IMDB , she was in several things after Magnum, including a 90210 episode in 1...

Interestingly, just recently I heard a comic on the Bob & Tom Radio Show (can't recall his name), that was a Native Hawaiian. He joked that when in Charlotte, NC, about 20 Hawaiians came to his show: "More Hawaiians that were ever on 8 years of Magnum PI!". ...I beg to differ... Yeah, so much for c...

I literally laughed out loud when I read this!
