This episode was well done but I was disappointed that Magnum jumped into bed with a married man's wife. I always liked Magnum because of his integrity, but this incident and the one before it in Deja Vu where he did a similar thing (although the husband had recently died) tainted the show for me. B...

I actually like this episode for a few reasons: 1. The philosophical debates concerning living for causes; animal rights; corrupt governments paying no attention to starving people; the Vietnam war. It slowed the episode down, but gave food for thought. 2. Seeing Brock Peters (who played Tom Robinso...

Tom Selleck on the new Hawaii Five-O

I am sure that I must not be the only one who thinks that Tom Selleck should co-star as Magnum on the new Hawaii Five-O show. The connection with Steve McGarrett and Magnum, who were both in the Navy, could be the basis of Tom Selleck coming back as Thomas Magnum. And since Tom Selleck is with CBS (...

I really enjoyed this episode, not because of the story, which was confusing, but because of Annie Potts. She was very cute and funny, and had great chemistry with Tom Selleck. Their comical interactions were great! :lol: I wished she had had a recurring role on the show, since she was a private inv...

Just one bit of trivia: The Midshipmen won that 1967 game 19-14 in Philadelphai, PA. Source:

A couple of strange things about this episode: 1. Rick, who is a Vietnam veteran, is afraid of insects and freaks out about being stranded on an island in Hawaii, even though there is a high likelihood that T.C. will fix the chopper or they will be rescued. 2. The commander of the destroyer orders t...

This episode was just so-so. I couldn't get interested in the story, but it was neat to see Julia Nickson-Soul, who starred in Rambo II a couple of years later (you can see one of her best scenes with Sylvester Stallone here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeU25_zAla4&feature=related).

This episode was just okay. But it was so eerie how the shooting incident resembled what happened to Brandon Lee, Bruce Lee's son, in real life about 11 years later, on the set of his movie, where he was shot and killed by a prop gun.

Here is Jade Moon (who played one of the women at the gambling scene) in a commercial that ran in Hawaii in the 1980s: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTgZppV_HaM The commercial was rather well-known at the time. It's interesting that she did not have a speaking part in either the commercial or the M...

I'm surprised that this episode received such low ratings. I really enjoyed it because it was really funny and lighthearted, which was a nice relief after a heavy "Blind Justice" episode. The discussion on this episode revolving around TM's character flaws and his tendency at times to take advantage...

This was a pretty good episode, with the outcome of the trial in doubt and the verdit never revealed at the end. I wanted to see how it ended! :cry: Anyway, I thought it was interesting what that sleazy defense lawyer told Magnum when he said that he wasn't concerned whether his client was guilty or...

Magnums Little Voice: I agree. This episode was well titled: "Holmes is Where the Heart Is," because it had a lot of heart. Higgins patiently puts up with his old friend's mentally-disturbed behavior and delusions, and in the end Higgins does what is right by turning him in even though it looked to ...

Jade Moon is the one on the top photo.

She's gained a few pounds, but she's still very pretty.

Yahoo! I saw this episode for the first time and loved it! It was great to see Mac back. I know it was Mac coming back to get back at Magnum for all the times Magnum conned him. It was also fun to see downtown scenes shot right outside from what is today Murphy's bar and grill. The Taquito's Mexican...
