KingKC

He did such a great job in the episode, agreed

Re-watched this earlier and it's probably one I've overlooked as a fav, like I should have put it in my top ten.

Heaps to enjoy whenever I watch it but the introduction of Tanaka is probably one of the best aspects. That and Higgins learning about the wine

Some moments in Try to Remember from Season 2 - we see Higgins showing concern for Magnum throughout, though he of course denies it, another early small step from Higgins' side perhaps.

Re-watched this yesterday and I loved the 'frozen' expressions from both Magnum and Higgins as they each taunt one another during their little false 'back-downs' where each are both well-aware that it ain't over. Still, I do wonder if it pushed the limits of the characters re: what I would believe e...

Babs was great but Don was by far the best he made the show a hit and after he left the episodes were never as good. Hamilton wrote some very funny episodes and Reuben's were also good. But without Don it never would have been a success he was the perfect writer-producer to make it work as well as ...

One of the reasons that "Did You See the Sunrise?" was so effective and memorable is that we had already watched TM for two seasons. You know he isn't the kind of guy who would shoot someone in cold blood. Until he does just that. If the pilot episode rehashes Sunrise it creates an entirely new vie...

Damn.
It's been a fair few months since I logged in... damn.

yes, he first mentions "work the lock" in the pilot episode when the dogs are chasing Magnum as he is trying to get into the Ferrari. And later he repeats it as he's trying to break in to Captain Cooly's office while Alice and Ensign Healy are coming up in the elevator. "Don't look at the elevator,...

Two small moments that I like between Magnum and Higgins: 1) The Nuremberg talk in "Never Again ... Never Again." I think this is the first time that we see the Higgins/Magnum relationship start to evolve into something more than "overgrown kid vs stick in the mud majordomo." I think there is a lin...

Very sad news, what a crummy day.

Will have to watch some classic Higgins episodes in honour of JH.

I was going to mention The Look being a personal favorite, but saw that it was at #36 of the top 40. It's a fine episode and I always found the "Universal House Band" renditions of all the 1960s pop songs to be a lot of fun, for reasons of camp, I suppose. There's also the great Holly Hudson reacti...

The Look was great second time around, especially enjoyed the preparation for Higgins' not quite 'birthday' which was a real highlight :D Seconded. Watched it just yesterday. Interesting how after you know the "flubs" in an episode you watch for them.....the vanishing birthday sign on the chopper i...

Yeah, I'd have thought Never Again was in the Top 40 too

Loved Kona Winds too, one of my favourite endings, easy

This is a little unnerving (and sad of course) but semi-recently a pair of blonde twins had an accident in Maui - they were fighting over the wheel/fighting each other when their car went over a cliff! Apparently, one was trying to kill the other: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3628382/Sis...
