Re: Thank Heaven for Little Girls and Big Ones Too (1.4)

This one was just kind of there for me. It wasn't a great episode, but didn't strike me as bad either. It seemed like they were still fleshing out the characters and some of that stuck starting with this one. The premise of this one was pretty weak in terms of believability. Some of the girls were m...

Being a private investigator

Throughout the entire run of Magnum P.I. people seemed to look down on the private investigator profession. Higgins, in particular, would mock it and refer to Magnum's "tawdry divorce cases" as if all a p.i. would do is follow spouces to catch them in an affair. TC and Rick would even laugh about Ma...

Re: Little Girl Who (7.7)

Regarding TSM's women-he has this incredible infatuation for Michelle, although she seems to manipulate him. Meanwhile, the lovely Maggie Poole, who is constantly going out on a limb for TSM, breaching top security items to help him, only seems to get cursory interest. Quite tacky of him to bring f...

Re: Magnum and pizza ....

Isn't there an episode where Thomas calls a pizza delivery guy over and give him a huge tip so he, Thomas, can use the guy's delivery van or truck? Pretty sure it was...episode 1.15: "Don't Say Goodbye" :magnum: Yes my fav episode of all time, season 7 Death and Taxes. He calls a pizza man who is f...

Re: Unfinished Business (8.8)

Awesome episode. Tom Selleck was actually scary in this one. But wouldn't the car bombing orchestrated by Quong Ki derail the prisoner exchange? Likely not. Looking at it from the government's point of view, men likely affiliated with Ki caused the deaths of two Viet Nam nationals that were under p...

Re: Black on White (3.6)

I'm wondering if anyone can help me out with a question. I'm not sure if it was on the ETrueHollywood Magnum episode (I'm thinking no because I recently watched that) but I'm thinking I saw/heard somewhere over the years that the producers wanted to get rid of the Lads due to the cost but Selleck a...

No, it was first released in 1999, but Larry Manetti still sells them on his website. Lots of anecdotes on most of the principle cast.

Re: The Kona Winds (6.4)

[quote="SignGuyHPW" I can see some emotions being out of character due to weather, but complete character rehaul is a bit of a stretch for me. Magnum dropping all pretense of professionalism to bed a married client so quickly just didn't seem like something he'd do. I have to say I totally agree an...

Re: Things you DON'T Like About the Show

Some of the things I didn't particularly enjoy (keeping in mind I very much enjoy the show and these are my own personal preferences): ~ The psychic connections Often times one of the guys would just "know" that Thomas was in trouble. It just seemed unnatural and lazy way out of writing an ending th...

Just finished "Aloha Memories"

I picked up Larry Mannetti's book "Aloha Memories" the other day and finished it the other night. I was rather surprised at how controversial Mannetti seemed to be during his run on Magnum. He was evicted from several places, got kicked out of bars, and even was attempting to cover up a death in his...

It was on from, at least, 10am until 8pm. Seemed like they jumped around the series as far as episodes they picked.

Re: J. "Digger" Doyle (1.17)

I am a big fan of Erin Gray so I especially enjoyed this episode. This was a really fun episode as it had a little of everything including a great twist towards the end. It also gave a good bit to do for all of the principles in the show plus the main guest star. There wasn't a lot I didn't enjoy ab...

The stache marathon

Stumbled upon Esquire Network's "The Stache Marathon" of Magnum P.I. yesterday. Anyone else get the chance to catch some of it?

Re: Foods on the show

I think there were one or two episodes where Magnum concocts dome sort of horrendous health food shake. One had dessicated liver in it. :shock: I think there were two episodes. One was "One Picture is Worth." Another had an ex girlfriend sending him the recipe over the phone. That may have been the...
