Re: 40th Anniversary Watch Party

Rating the first 4 seasons is a bit tough. They've all been pretty solid. One thing I'll say about season 4 is that it doesn't have that one single episode that can match the greatness of the pilot or "Memories Are Forever" or "Did You See the Sunrise?". All 2-part episodes by the way. Season 4 does...

Re: 40th Anniversary Watch Party

Maybe I'm the only one still following along with the 40th anniversary... ? I think I watched "Dream a Little Dream" recently, but I know I still need to watch "I Witness." I finished season 4 already. "Dream a Little Dream" was pretty good with the past/present transitions being a particular highl...

Re: The Tom Selleck Thread

I got my copy late yesterday and only had time to thumb through it but I found a great photo. It’s Stephen Cannell talking with Tom and Jim Garner during one of the two episodes he guest starred in as Lance White. Based on the location I believe it is the first, White on White and Nearly Perfect. h...

Re: The Tom Selleck Thread

I think Dobie will be thrilled to discover that Tom is a computer illiterate luddite just as he himself is. :lol: Tom reveals that he wrote his memoirs on a yellow legal pad. :D I can understand his lack of interest in tech. He’s almost 80 now. My mom is 81 and has never emailed or texted anyone ei...

Re: Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii (1) (1.1)

I recently acquired the UK Fabulous Films Blu-ray set of “Magnum”. Loving it so far! I do have one question (that I’m sure has been answered in years/posts past that I haven’t seen)…but, I know the Pilot originally aired as a 2hr pilot and/or TV movie, then was split into 2 parts later for syndicat...

Re: Man In A Suitcase

I chose one episode of this late 1960s British series to review, having become fed up with Ironside, but was equally disappointed. The following description comes from the show's Wikipedia article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_in_a_Suitcase Man in a Suitcase was effectively a replacement for D...

Re: Dream A Little Dream (4.20)

I thought Magnum's flashback 1979 long hair made him look older , not younger. I think it would have worked better if he had shorter, neater hair in 1979 - because he was recently out of the Navy (where he'd have short neat hair) and hadn't had time to grow it long yet. (They didn't even have to cu...

Re:

It's funny that several of you here call this a dullish episode. I find it to be one of the more interesting ones of the season. I love the "origin" aspect to it :lol: and Mosley overall did a great job with the direction. At first I thought there was a flub concerning the timeline: Sandy is 4 and ...

Re: Ironside

Raymond Burr is too much of a sour-puss in this show to really enjoy it. Though I suppose a bullet in your back would do it. :? But I just always found Burr too boring and too one note. One of the reasons I could never get into PERRY MASON. Compare that show with MATLOCK and it's night-and-day! I ca...

Re: Hawaii Five-O: Any Fans?

For The Execution File, I did a lengthy anal-ysis of the music, focusing on the scenes where the Rod Stewart song (not sung by him) was used. I actually took the audio from the music scenes in the original broadcast and managed to combine it with the video from the DVD of the show, which was much b...

Re: Hawaii Five-O: Any Fans?

Ivan, I'm glad we concur on "Woe to Wo Fat". I respect Mike's outstanding site fiveohomepage.com but I think he might have gotten so overwhelmed by the 12th season's too often banal treatment of our Hawaii Five-O that he, like us, didn't at first consider any of the last episode's possible merits. ...

Re: Question about Magnum's bracelet/clasp thingy?

I never read it, but the basics were that people get into to teaching for essentially three reasons, they enjoy a subject, they like working with kids, or they are drawn to the lifestyle of long summers and holidays off. Haha! :D I actually fall into the first and third of those categories. I alway...

Re: Question about Magnum's bracelet/clasp thingy?

The fact that I stumbled into it after being miserable in film/television production, which I studied to pursue, is even more fortunate, I think. You coulda been a contender, you coulda had class, you coulda been a star. Instead of a teacher which is what you are. :wink: :lol: Sorry, couldn't resis...
