Re: Are Magnum fans also Jimmy Buffett fans?

I've gone through his popular stuff and have a few LPs in my collection. I certainly wouldn't call myself a Parrot Head, but I have an appreciation for the vibe he popularized. I think I have a similar relationship with the Grateful Dead. I'm not a Dead Head, but I like the vibe and appreciate the s...

There's a bit of a technical gap that has led to the main site not being updated in quite some time.

Kenji the Gardener

Was watching Blind Justice this morning and stumbled on the one scene I remember actually seeing Kenji in person, rather than just referred to. He doesn’t have any speaking lines so doesn’t get credited- I even checked IMDB. He does say something in Japanese that is clearly overdubbed. I couldn’t fi...

Re: Somebody has a birthday today...

Yep, you’re right! I always remember this because it’s my kid’s birthday too. Coincidence or a sign from the heavens? The latter I’m sure.

Re: Buying a Rolex or Chronosport

I owned a Rolex 16710 GMT Master II Pepsi. One version newer than Magnum's GMT Pepsi but extremely similar. I felt like I wasn't wearing it enough compared to its value so I sold it in 2021 (at a nice profit). Now I'm watching the entire series of MPI and seeing Magnum's GMT Pepsi and not having on...

I hate that.

Re: Why were soundtracks never released?

For what it’s worth, I created this comprehensive Spotify playlist based on the robust inventory of songs from the show that were compiled on the magnum-mania website a long time ago. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7pF9AreRCPdTKdAcxUKM1L?si=23IUF-_jSlysILdVgWgR9w It’s pretty diverse in genres and...

Re: Buying a Rolex or Chronosport

They were branded "Tropic" in most of the examples I've seen. I've never seen one with Chronosport branding. Those vintage straps were supplied to a number of watch companies and I'm pretty sure it was the same supplier, whether Rolex or Chronosport or whatever. Here are a few examples of original s...

Re: Sexism

Plenty of examples of things that are probably inappropriate when viewed by today's standards - but that's a bit of a pointless exercise. One thing I will say is that Magnum went there FAR less than other contemporary male oriented shows (as has been pointed out several times in the past).

Re: Larry Manetti Interview

I know. I love Larry and the Rick character, so it feels like critiquing one of my kids. 😂 I don’t know BB well enough to know, but I’m assuming there was a deliberate rationale for doing it the way they did. I’m sure there was a reason. Knowing that Tom Selleck has had decades in the industry and i...

Re: Larry Manetti Interview

Larry is an actor, but he just isn’t the same calibre of actor as what they have in the core cast of Blue Bloods. There. I said it.
