Great pictures! The guest house is in awful shape ... :cry: But everything else looks exactly as it was during the show!

This is one of my very favorite episodes. Buck is a cross between Ernest Hemingway and Hunter S. Thompson, two crazy but brilliant daredevil authors who lived life on their own terms and ultimately took their own lives in the end. I've had family members suffer from major illness and the way this ep...

Great video find! But so many cuts in the interview between TS and Merv -- was the VCR pausing and restarting on its own? :D

I loved the story about John Hillerman selling the Porsche. And all 4 guys seemed to get along really well in real life, much like on the show.

As I mentioned on my review for ‘The Elmo Ziller Story’, that wonderfully silly episode would have been a great finale to the season, whereas ‘Three Minus Two’ is very much a dull and unengaging affair. It feels like a leftover episode tacked on to the end of the season; perhaps the ‘powers that be...

I justed watched this espisode from the DVD and it certainly is powerful. It has no breast beating scenes - things just play out. The final lines where she asks, "When will the war end?" and TM answers - "I don't know" say SO much. For some it never ended, and never will. I don't think Taylor getti...

Of course, there's an effort made to gloss over this fact by having the team's owner stage an equally foolish assassination attempt on Magnum! But even though he uncovers the plot to sabotage Dorsey's shoulder...it doesn't really make any difference. Dorsey still opts to risk further injury, and ev...

The Ferrari 458 now comes in a Spyder version which is really nice. If they ever do a movie this would be the car, plus with the retractable roof Tom would fit in it! That is correct. The 458 Italia is the most recent successor of Ferraris down from the 308. It'd be perfectly understandable that Ro...

also if I remember correctly TS gave Bob Hope a Tigers cap and said something about this bringing the Tigers luck and they did win the world series that year. See what the power of TS and Hope could do We also learn that Selleck wears a 42L in his suit size, and that he was just about to begin film...

If anyone hasn't seen it, check out Ann Dusenberry in a Remington Steele Episode. Judith Chapman is also in this one. It was done in 1983 during the shows 2nd season. Ann plays the part of the 2 sisters who have grown up in 2 different worlds, while I believe Judith plays the part of the wealthy bu...

I wasn't sure if the writing was exceptional or terrible for this one in regards to the character of Kendall. On the one hand, the "spoiled ballerina at odds with bodyguard" is so overdone and cliched; on the other, I've personally known dancers and performers who behave just like that, so the chara...

It was nice to see TM, Rick, T.C. and Higgins work as a team, kind of like a precursor to what we'd see the following year with The A-Team. Loved the tag at the end and another one of TM's raise of the eyebrows to the camera. Though, they never addressed the two bullets he popped off in the guesthou...
