Hi Magnumette, You wrote " The over the top personality bordered on being an a$$%hole, McGavin's speech at end saved this character-just" Since Buck is a classic man-child type, he is of course a jerk a lot of the time and if you were his buddy or spouse you would have to forgive alot. But I suspect...

Hi Guys, I took Cousin Kenji's advice regarding Braddah Kimo and looked up some of his posts. I think it's obvious Braddah needs some KimoTherapy. Considering the different ethnic types on Magnum, it's possible Kimo may shape shift and come back here as a faux Englishman, French policeman or even pe...

Wow this is another terrific thread. I especially enjoy when you guys catch mistakes or in jokes. I feel like a dilettante in comparison. I may being going out on a limb but I would like to address the question of who Robin Masters really is in light of Higgins "confession" in Resolutions. A lot of ...

Terry from Kerry wrote: Hi again Mike. Love your list. Look out for a TV movie made in 2009 called " Skippy: Australia's First Superstar ". As a kid who grew up with Skippy its a really enjoyable behind the camera look at the series. It includes interviews with the original cast members. There are a...

Hi Guys, I'd like to compliment everyone on their lists. I might not have listed some of them but they are all worthy. My list may not make some NY Times critics list of important series, but they make me feel good: 1) Andy Griffith Show 2) Dick Van Dyke Show 3) Route 66 (some of the best writing/ac...

Terry from Kerry, You wrote "I do like TS in Blue Bloods but would love to see him as the lead in a series like Longmire. TS always looks so natural in a western setting. Perhaps Jesse Stone might run for Sherrif in the next election on Longmire". Terry, that's brilliant, Jesse Stone on Longmire. Ca...

You wrote, "That was really cheap. The sad thing with most tv series is really the lack of good special features. I am talking about audio commentary with the stars of course. But also interviews, and maybe some behind the scenes footage. We rarely see that. How difficult can it be to bring in Selle...

The actor Robert Taylor who portrays Longmire is actually Australian. It really bugged me that I had seen him in some other tv show but I couldnt remember. So I looked it up and he portrayed the Aussie priest in the last year of Ballykissangel. He does a great job portraying an American archtype, on...

Hi ConchRepublican, You wrote "I enjoyed this episode and understand Buck's decision, but I have always taken the other side on this dilemma.There's nothing manly about quitting". Neither I or the Magnum writers was talking about quitting, as Buck was already fated to take the mortgage out on some r...

Hi Guys, What a great thread! As noted Buck was a Hemingway stand in, especially with his attitude to Death. Posters wondering why Magnum didn't "save" the already doomed Buck perhaps missed the point. Buck had finally defeated Death by embracing it on his own terms. Magnum understood that, and when...

I read where Garner and Selleck became friends after Selleck's 2 appearances as Lance White on the Rockford Files. These are two wonderful episodes and well worth searching out, for all you Magnum fans, as they caused Hollywood to sit up and notice Selleck. In fact I recall the PR surrounding Magnum...
