It occured to me even watching the shows as they aired originally that The Lads never seemed too effective. Whenever the estate had villians invade it they were never of much help. They'd sometimes hold up Magnum for a few minutes, but he could often evade them too. Can anyone think of an episode wh...

I got the sense that he didn't really have a preference and it depended on the situation which he used. If it was more casual he might use "Tom" where if it was more of a professional or formal situation then he may use "Thomas."

I didn't really enjoy this one either. It was nice having a small SOAP reunion, but that was really the highlight for me. I know it was a comedy episode, but the comedy seemed lacking. There were also far too many open questions at the end of it. How could the money have been legally distributed per...

This was a great way to set up the series. It introduced the regulars in a great way as well as setting the tone of the show as a drama with comedy mixed into it. I wish that they'd have incorporated Dan Cook references more often into future episodes since he seemed to be tightly entertwined with M...

I thought that this one was alright, but not one of my favorites. The main problem I had with it was that I thought it hurt Rick's character to outright have an affair with a married woman knowingly. Then Rick tells the girl what exscuses to tell her husband as to why he's with her like he'd been in...

I really enjoyed this one. It wasn't meant to be as dramatic or serious as most of the episodes and I viewed it as a purely comedy episode. There's HUGE logic gaps (Magnum risking the lives of the students by taking them on an actual case for example), but then at the end when the class is ripping a...

I think I'm in the minority that liked this episode. What really made it a good one for me was that it gave great character depth to TC. It gave a reasoning as to why his marriage may have fallen apart and why he rarely got to see his kids. I found it a little odd that the fuglehorn player was playi...

I thought that it was kind of a silly premise, but it was a well acted episode. Magnum's inability to drop the subject of Higgins being fired was very typical which made it surprising that Higgins seemed surprised that the cover story hadn't stopped him from tracking him. I thought that the battle s...

I thought this one was really excellent. It did remind me of Miami Vice also, but when Magnum was dramatic the shows were very similiar. It made sense to not have a lot of the regular cast in this one so Magnum had to rely strictly on his own investigative skills instead of the regulars helping him ...

I watched this one today and it baffled me a little bit. Magnum going to a random funeral for no real reason on his way to not miss out doing a chore for Higgins was weird. Then the girl just happens to go from the funeral to the museum moments ahead of Magnum which sets off the plot. It seemed like...

In the episode "Deja Vu" TC returned a bottle of wine and explained to the lady that he didn't drink. In other episodes he was seen drinking beer or ordering scotch on the rocks. He also ordered non alcoholic drinks at the club when others were drinking alcohol. Did he actually drink or was he a non...
