Re: Season 1 Episode 10: Bad Day to Be a Hero (1.10)
I'm only talking about the old show here, but I kind of wish they had never shown him onscreen. By never showing him he becomes a larger than life figure.

Re: I haven't seen it, I'm not going to see it!
Well, you see, the new Magnum is only five-sixths as tall as the old one.

Re: Reboot suggestion...stop explaining everything
I think the shorter running times hurt a lot of shows. You have time to do some nice character moments as well as a complete story with 50 minutes.
Of course, shows havent been that length in decades.

Re: Where to find new red shirt?
What idiot would pay that kind of money on this shirt?? Or any shirt for that matter. I got my classic MPI shirt from mauishirts.com for around $50, and it's a heck of a lot nicer than this new one with black palm trees ( :shock: !!). I don't care if it's GQ or not, it's still a crappy shirt. I rea...

Re: Where to find new red shirt?
I am not a Hawaiian shirt guy, but is it possibly something called "Saint Laurent Palm Tree red shirt"?
Google that, and see if it looks right.
PS: fwiw, I always like the purple jungle bird shirt best.

I wonder if they come in adult sizes?

Re: Pilot to Ep2 Ratings and Beyond
Typically, I hate shows and movies that mix humor and drama the way Magnum does. It's a hard act to pull off. The original show could pull it off like no other, imo, but there were times when even it had sudden shifts in tone that I found jarring. I think you need to have an outlier episode like Tha...

Re: MM: Info About the New Show?
Yeah, my tech skills are pretty much nonexistent, too. I don't even have a tv these days so I haven't even watched the show. I just saw that some of the folks here had gathered a lot of info about the show, and I thought it would be nice to incorporate that into the site. ps Having not seen the show...

MM: Info About the New Show?
Are there any plans to do episode lists, plot descriptions, cast lists, pics, flubs etc for the new show? I know it isn't too popular around here, but for completeness sake, and historical value, it may be worthwhile. Now would be the best time to do it since there is an abundance of info (interview...

Re: I can't watch this
Hogan's Heroes in s a late 60s sitcom about a group of Allied POWs in a German prison camp ran by a nincompoop. My dad watched it, but Im not a big fan. It was inspired by the classic William Holden movie Stalag 17. Coincidentally, that is the movie Magnum was watching in Did You See the Sunrise? It...

Re: I can't watch this
Transplanting plots is different than transplanting characters. Japanese characters playing out a plot similar to Macbeth in Japan isnt the same as Lady Mabeth, King Duncan, and Banquo literally being plopped into feudal Japan. Why does Magnum take place in Hawaii? Though it's never said on the old ...

Re: I can't watch this
There was no way a Magnum remake was ever going to work. As I've said before, it is a show of it's time and can't be transplanted to the modern day. The world has just changed too much culturally and politically. What is Magnum without Vietnam, the Iron Curtain, a WW2 father figure etc? Just anothe...
