Viet Nam was at one time (prior to our war there) a French colonial nation. From Wikipedia Vietnam's independence ended in the mid-1800s, when the country was colonized by the French. The French administration imposed significant political and cultural changes on Vietnamese society. A Western-style ...

heh, wouldn't want to see you get deprived! (depraved? maybe. deprived? no.) I just saw a preview tonight for Vegas this coming Friday, and TS was very definitely in the show! I'm starting to get excited about it. I have to say that every time I tried to watch Vegas in the past, I found it a bit of ...

I'm sure you're absolutely right. Nonetheless, I find the appearance of old computers rather quaint. Magnum, Higgins, et. al. still seem pretty fresh, but those old computers really remind you of the show's age.

That's kind of a non-committal response! It takes two to make a licensing agreement. We, of course, don't know what's going on behind the scenes here, but it IS possible that Universal, for reasons of their own, didn't want to renew WGN's license to broadcast MPI. (Or, more likely, WGN didn't want t...

Oh dear, it looks like you may be right. I just did a search for Magnum in my local listings, and it only comes up as being on Sleuth for the next two weeks, and there are no episodes on WGN. And Sleuth only shows episodes from the first three seasons!

This is terrible!

I'd love a shirt like that, but I'd be torn between wanting to wear it and wanting to save it from wear!

Wow. That was quite a withering review of MPI. The charm of this show is completely lost on that viewer, eh? It's difficult to take an article with such ill-informed facts seriously. The most casual google or wikipedia search, or eBay search, would've shown that this show is still popular, and its a...

I like the new Mac much better than the old Mac. The new Mac isn't such a patsy, and keeps Magnum on his toes. I think he's a far more interesting character, who leaves you wondering just who's side is he really on.

I find the preview scenes on each episode extremely annoying. At the time these were originally broadcast, these "teaser" scenes may have been a way for the network to induce the audience from the previous show to stick around and watch Magnum. But since I'm about to watch the episode on DVD, I sure...

Wow, that was interesting. I've never really watched the closing credits all that closely, so now I'm going to have to check this on my DVDs. Which episode was that from?
