Nice writeup by Bob Sassone at the A.V. Club about our favorite series.

Great article! Thanks for posting the link.

This guy (article author) "gets" it.

I don't recall ever seeing a more accurate synopsis of the series anywhere.

I've never been able to nail down just 10 "favorite" episodes, so I've not been able to contribute to the Favorite 10 Episodes thread. This article hits on some of my most favorites, and for all the reasons listed, as well.

Just seems like it's a matter of time before somebody reboots the series, but as has been discussed at length, in detail, it'll be destined to fail if it's not done with absolute stellar production, including and maybe especially, the casting.

Anybody who hasn't, do take a few minutes and read the article Conch provides a link to.

Not that anybody here needs it, but it will just further reinforce feelings for the show, and all involved with it.

Agreed, awesome article and nice selection. I think the writer is spot on too about the deceptive nature of Magnum, on the surface it seems to be fun, fun, fun but folks who dig deeper are really rewarded

That is a great article.

I especially like the part about Higgins not being Robin Masters unless he was completely insane.

That's an interesting theory right there.

Three cheers to Bob Sassone!!!! Great insight on the series and I loved reading the comments from readers at the bottom........

Higgins isn't Robin Masters...but Sir Fearing Pangborn is.
