$20.00 US here I cannot attest to the quality of the shirt. Totally not the same shirt. Yeah, definitely not. All that guy did was take the "Coops Established 1917" part from my film positive image that I posted in this thread (post #42) and added a drop shadow to it. You can see in this comparison...

What if Higgins is actually the author of the Robin Masters novels but he is not Robin, rather he is Robin's GHOST WRITER employed by a rich layabout (in the form of Orson Welles). Higgins is specifically called Robin's "ghost writer" in one of the episodes after Paper War, but I can't remember whi...

With regard to the use of Sullivan , perhaps TM's parents just chose the surname of Phoebe's husband to be Thomas' middle name. His name was Thomas Sullivan Magnum IV, so his middle name came from his father (and grandfather, and great-grandfather). It would make TM's middle name not coincidental a...

Then their lifiting off just as the bombing starts -- after working all day on the heli, suddenly after dark, TC gets it conveniently fixed? This episode across the board was just a little TOO contrived for me, just one of them that was "trying too hard." Sorry, guys! It also didn't make sense that...

Contrary to popular belief, bare-knuckle boxing is safer than boxing with padded gloves. In the former, hard punches to the head are relatively rare, because they tend to injure the hand of the person who threw the punch. In the latter, the padded gloves protect the hands, so hard punches to the hea...

Higgins gives Vivian a key after she helped him with the books the first time: Higgins: "Here's a key so you can enter the estate without calling. Since you'll be working here, it will be more convenient." That was rather ad hoc on the writers' part. The estate's gate is motorized. It certainly wou...

Hi Guys, I have to disagree though I get your point. With a classic show like Magnum, it's a steep hill to climb to try to emulate its perfect chemistry and every exact aspect that made it great. Maybe a homage is the best course so it doesn't compete with our memory of the original. To be honest n...

I take the other position regarding a Hawaiian Magnum. Part of the show's context is that he's not "home". He, Rick, T.C., even Higgins, they are all transplants and that's what adds to their bond. They may have made some connections and contacts over the years but do any of them have any real frie...

Yeah, that's what the DVD's subtitles say, though it sounds more like "Glen Cavit" to me (which isn't a real brand as far as I know):

Your 2nd explanation must be the correct one. He wanted to dilute the nasty stuff. He didn't know he was going to get bad stuff until after he ordered it on the rocks. When he ordered it, he ordered a specific brand or type of whiskey (I can't understand what he said) "on the rocks". In other words...

In this episode, at the "beach bar" on the roof, Higgins orders his whiskey "on the rocks" (with ice).

In the episode Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii, Higgins says to Magnum, "Don't ruin my whiskey with ice. I'm not a bloody American."

I didn't really care for Magnum's hero worship of Duke Davis either. The Duke Davis infatuation was a little over the top, I agree. And hey, why wouldn't Magnum be infatuated with Duke? The guy hit .326 w/ 34 HR, 116 RBI and 45 SB ... and he won the Gold Glove! If somebody like that was in my house...

DELETED - Conch

I agree that this episode proves that Higgins is NOT Robin Masters. I haven't seen the later episodes but it just seems to me really dumb to suspect that they would be one and the same. Magnum never claimed that they were one and the same. He describes Robin as a guy with a voice like Orson Welles ...

Because it's a NEW show Why doesn't this NEW show have a NEW name? based on a 1980's show! The real Magnum, P.I. show wasn't based on an older show. Why did they base this NEW show on an older show? You see, it's not really a NEW show as you suppose. They commandeered elements from the real show, i...
