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

That’s a POW/MIA bracelet. It will have the name, rank and date the service member went missing during the Vietnam War. There are currently 1,577 missing Americans in Southeast Asia.

Re: POLL: Magnum Finale

The ending was perfect. Magnum’s life seemed great when I was a teenager. Paradise, Ferrari, estate living, adventure, etc. Yet there was always an underlying restlessness in his nature. I’m writing about the more serious episodes. The writers did a great job of articulating this without saying it. ...

Magnum P.I. never jumped the shark, but this forum just might have.

Re: US Blu-ray release of the complete series, March 22nd, 2022

Does anyone have the iTunes version in HD? Is it really HD? I might look for another sale of the iTunes version. I purchased the iTunes version the week it was released. I put a post up about it at the time. The quality is fantastic and it is in HD. The tidal pool looks amazing at the start of Don'...

Maybe the plan is to eventually have a castle in England, a luxury apartment in Manhatten, a villa in Andros, and a chalet in Innsbruck?

The Sight of This Makes Me Sad

I’ve swam here many times over the years. Brought my children there to swim and play. When the stress at Schofield Barracks became unbearable I would peak through the fence and indulge in an adult fantasy of the Thomas Magnum carefree lifestyle. As a teenager growing up in a foreign land Robin’s Nes...

Re: Magnum Mania Site Gets Love from Novelist, SEAL Jack Carr

Terry, Dia duit mo chomhbhaill tÉireannach. I was born and raised in Galway. I live in the Midwest U.S. now. I was watching Magnum when I first thought of leaving Ireland. I was thirteen and my grandad was in Merlin Park Hospital slowly dying. I was sitting next to him looking out the window. It wa...

Re: Magnum Mania Site Gets Love from Novelist, SEAL Jack Carr

That was me, I haven’t visited here in a while. There was too much anger over meaningless things. If you look at my location it’s the same as my Instagram handle. Poulywerrin is where I’m from. It’s a small area in a place called Connemara on the west coast of Ireland. In Irish it means “hole of iro...

Re: 40th Anniversary Watch Party

Alright guys, I gave No Need to Know another chance and I’m not sure what I was thinking before. It’s great. There’s a lot going on (the Northern Ireland conflict, sexy stewardesses, TC’s dinner jacket, Rick’s role connecting Magnum with clients at the KKC, Magnum’s Naval intelligence background) a...

Re: 40th Anniversary Watch Party

I love the Waikiki/Kalākaua scenes. Especially this one. :lol: https://media.giphy.com/media/oFCe8JCCpYknbamjN1/giphy.gif Grew up spending a few days in Waikiki every year before going to our timeshare. That scene is from a movie Selleck made with James Whitemore called “The Chinese Typewriter”. I ...

Re: Pick The Lock

After Don’t Eat the Snow Magnum next says those words in season 7’s L.A. I think it’s part 1; as broken down for syndication. I don’t remember if he does it again.
