Re: Good Magnum & T.C. scenes

I sent them the "You owe me fifty", "Chopper scene" (from Did You See the Sunrise?), "Pickled egg" and "Basketball/Gatorade scene" (from Round and Around). I still say that Fr. Paddy McGuinness came up with the best one from Woman on the Beach, TM and TC laughing hysterically at Rick and then attac...

Re:

I enjoy watching this one now just to see the old computer equipment and security stuff. Wow, talk about out of date... And its always good to see Mac. Same with me, seeing the old computers always catches my attention. Back in 1981, almost no one had a computer in their home. Oh those glory days b...

Re:

Certainly a breath of fresh air after the worst episode of Season 2 (The Jororo Kill). Only thing bugging me was that Paolo guy reminded me of Justin Bieber :lol: don't know why. That's hilarious, because I thought he looked like David Archuleta! :) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/deandawson...

[quote="Jelly Doughnuts"]"I just thought it really odd that she borrowed the kids towel!??1 Who does that?"

No one approaches a stranger and asks to use their beach towel. I'd like to put together a thread of some of the oddities from this series.

It's like asking to borrow someone's toothbrush.

Re:

Speaking of the opening surf scene, what's up with the "Kid on the Beach" (credited as such) checking out Kacy as she comes out of the water?! http://magnum-mania.com/images/2_8_n.jpg He looks her up and down, bites his lip. What is he like 12! :shock: I watched this episode last night and it is on...

Re: Good Magnum & T.C. scenes

How about the scene in "The Woman on the Beach" when Rick's date stands him up and he dejectedly leaves his office at the club. With great glee TM and TC then attack the abandoned dinner for two. Good one! They're laughing at Rick's absurdity about a very special girl he met at the club just two da...

Re: MPI-related YouTube Clips (The Good Ones)

Most of the clips I've seen are complete garbage, but I did come across a couple of good ones. I know this thread is old since it began in March, 2007, but I posted 6 videos on youtube, in addition to adding them to the season's episode forum on this site, for each episode, which I think are excell...

Re: Complete Series for $82.49 + Free Shipping ?

Is the quality better than the original DVD releases or is it about the same? I can't really say because the MPI discs I rented for years came from Netflix which get a ton of use. The picture quality seems crisper on the complete series but not significantly better. I think you get a slight deterio...

Re: Complete Series for $82.49 + Free Shipping ?

I'll be surprised if there's any problem with it. Do report back when you get it and let us know how it turns out. My set sat on my bedroom bookcase shelf until last night when I finally opened it. I watched "No Need To Know" from Season 1 with the IRA trying to kill the British Brigadier staying o...

He's still around at age 81 so he must have quit. Few reach their 80s if they smoke heavily.

At that starting bid price no wonder not a single bid thus far. And they lowered the price.

Re: Hillerman keeps british accent?

Watched this on youtube, and Hillerman appears to keep his British accent off set http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRh25hLOuC4 It sounds like a mix of British and American accents. This video is from 1985 and it feels as if it could have been shot yesterday, how little has changed at these events, ev...

Re: Opening previews: what's the point?

I always fast forward through any previews and fast forward through the same video clips showing glimpses from other episodes. I press play on the remote when it comes to Larry Manetti digging a ditch, just before the episodes begin. I also liked the original pre-show soundtrack in the first season ...

Re: Tom Selleck reportedly makes $4.8 million per season

I'm currently watching the "horrible" season six, and I think it is interesting to see that Selleck had a huge salary but this season seems so cheap. (Especially the hotel dick, going home, paniolo episodes.) Does anybody know that what happened with the show in this season? Expect the wrath from s...

Re: Watching Magnum PI on broadcast TV!

I just can't stand television commercials. I also like being able to hit the pause button while watching a DVD, go to the bathroom or pick up food and come back when I am ready without missing anything. I still watch broadcast TV movies with commercials but only briefly. The Godfather 1 and 2 aired ...
