Nice find there RG! Great to see people getting together and making a difference. Fingers crossed everything works out and the sea life returns. Thanks KENJI! I agree... and I'd love to take part in something like this. Kevster, I've been researching why the limu has been disappearing over the deca...

The comment about Hillerman's Higgins... Physically, there was nothing athletic about Hillerman's performance in the original series. It was painfully obvious that he had physical limitations that kept them from portraying him in physically demanding situations during the show's run, and I think tha...

Higgins' order was probably a TV writer's play on Glenffidich, though it could be anything. Besides the obvious human element that could create a lack of continuity in the writing for these characters, the other thing that I thought of with Higgins was he would wrap minor insults into many of the th...

I suspect that the owners of oceanfront property were unhappy with the propagation of seaweed for impacting swimming, wading, and viewing the beautiful color created by just the sand and water, and they mitigated it however they could. Bringing it back will help sea life, but some owners will probab...

It's going to be really hard to pull off the idea that Magnum had a romance, let alone married, a local woman he met in Afghanistan, given the very strict muslim culture there that would have precluded her marrying a nonmuslim, even if he had been able to get to know one, which was pretty unlikely ...

On the grooming issue, since this is not the first time I've seen someone talk about it, I think they have all been honorably discharged from service, so they can grow their facial hair however they want. They are only wearing their uniforms because they are attending a funeral for a veteran presum...

There are exceptions for some grooming rules, but they are RARE. The one that intrigued me has nothing to do with MPI. It was about special scouts in the military who were recruited from the Native American tribes. They recruited individuals with heightened tracking skills, essentially people of alm...

New name for the episode thread: As The Forum Turns...

Lily as a PI, with Juliet Higgins as some kind of relative of JQH, would have had a shot at being passably watchable. Not only does it make sense and honor the original, it would feature two potentially strong female characters in the starring roles, just as the original had two strong male charact...

Styles and Kevster, thanks. I've had almost ten years of great discussions on this board. I also don't want to silence that discussion. I honestly think some of the disappointment in the reboot, including mine, has led to some comments about casting changes, etc... that are perhaps more emotional t...

Well in this day and time, a remake of a show could never be made like the original, without updating it to be politically correct! Case in point, Ms Higgins! Look at Hawaii Five-0, One Day at a Time, Lost in Space, just to name a few! They will change the sex, or race of a character or add new one...

I don't know how trying to use all the characters and locations, not to mention throwing in a bunch of Easter Eggs to the original series, can not be seen in two ways: an exploitation and an homage. Of course they are exploiting (or attempting to) the existing good will for the original series, but ...

Funny, I never knew my wrist size, or even considered it... until now! :) Just measured it at a little under 9 inches. Of course, I'm 6-7 so the big wrist seems proportional, I suppose. Maybe that's why my watches over the years have all been relatively large and chunky, for lack of a better word. ...

Yep. Well said. Never even thought in those terms in the 80s. Now it seems if you say you “don’t see race” you’re somehow... wait for it... racist? WHAT the HECK? Who came up with that one? LOL :P Anyways, if they were determined from the outset to do the diversity at all costs, if anything, they s...

Here are some images of my 42mm Steinhart Pepsi GMT. As I said, it's too big for my wrist, but I don't really care. Astute readers will note that the GMT bezel is set to HST -- so I always know what time it is in Magnum's world. :) http://104.236.124.73/Watch/fr_797_size1024.jpg http://104.236.124....
