I can see the point of the bridge. Lots of work went into it, and love, BUT I also think it was funny and disagree that it would be on par with breaking TM's watch.
I think what made it funny (the demolition of the brudge) is that it mirrored the movie. Now if TM had gone in whistling the tune and just crushed it under his Pumas then it wouldn't be funny, however the way it was done was.

It's more or less the quotes and the moments that took place around them...here are some of my favorite...IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER
1.
Magnum: "A midget or a dwarf!"
Higgins: "No bearded lady? No trapeze artists? Where's the rest of the circus?"
You know what happened next...
2.
A very shocked Higgins, when he and TC open the door and Jennifer is there.
"MY DEAR, YOU LOOK RAVISHING, AHA HA..... A LITTLE CHAMPAGNE?"
3.
When Higgins says OMG, especially off camera!
4.
TC's very bad "Italian" pronunciations...(shakes his head side to side.....)
5.
Heal Thyself when he's trying to pin down Jorgenson whose shooting at him...
"I knew if he had a revolver he only had 6 shots. Course if he had an automatic he could have 7...or 8. Then he could have one of those 13 shot automatics. Or he could have two guns. Oh well......"
6.
Honolulu Lulu's
7.
From Love For Sale Boat
Mac: What kind of sleaze do you think I am?
TM: Is this multiple choice?
8.
Of Sound Mind, probably the funniest episode of the series, too many to count in this one.
9.
Higgins: "You starch your undershorts???"
TM: "Doesn't everybody?"
10.
Higgins!!!! SHUT UUUUUUUUUUUP !!!!!

LOL!
All of these are great! There are so many humorous moments on Magnum. It's hard to pick just one, or even a handful. I don't know, for some reason Agatha's "smoking buns" double entendre in "Almost Home" always jumps to the front of the line for me.
Agatha: "Jonathan! Oh, Jonathan, come quickly! Your buns are smoking!"

Rather than the in-your-face gags, I find Higgins' dry comments the most humorous. None are springing to mind right now. I think the line in my signature cracked me up more than any other though...
"How fiendishly deceptive of you Magnum. I could have sworn I was hearing the emasculation of a large rodent."

One of my favorite episodes. Not a particularly strong one, but it has Ernest Borgnine. Who doesn't love Ernest Borgnine? The man's almost 100 years old and could still kick your a$$. But he's just too sweet a guy for that.Jake wrote:From Mr. White Death - when Higgins hears TM being called "the Mag" and having offered the estate as a place to crash (once again) Higgy Baby can't help but toss out the classic line.....
The Mag......How Mag-nanimous
The Higgins one-liners are priceless. Another of my favorites he uses often is "I see you've been beaten up again."
"But Higgins, I can explain."

This one always gets me, too...
(Magnum is "playing" the saxophone)
Higgins: Magnum....Magnum!.....Magnum!!
Magnum: Hi, Higgins!
Higgins: How fiendishly deceptive of you Magnum. I could have sworn I was hearing the emasculation of a large rodent. To my great surprise, I see the sounds are emanating from what I thought was a harmless musical instrument.
Magnum: Cute Higgins, real cute.
(Magnum plays sax again)
Higgins: Why Magnum? Why do this terrible thing?
Magnum: Higgins, I'll have you know I used to be very good. I was the second best sax player in my High School band.
Higgins: Well how many sax players were there?!
Magnum: ...Anyway, I just saw this in a pawn shop window and thought I'd like to try and get my chops back.
Higgins: May I suggest that your "chops" are irretrievable.
Magnum: Higgins, did you come here just to abuse me!?

For some odd reason one of my favorite's is in Italian Ice when Magnum has the scratch on the Ferrari and he tries to hide it from Higgins.
(Magnum drives up with Mimi Rogers (aka Margo). He gets out and spits on large scratch and tries to rub it out.)
TM: Whaddya think?
Margo: I don't think a little spit is going to fix that.
TM: Tell you what, why don't you go on to the Guest House and I'm going to find Higgins and break the news to him.
Margo: You sure you want to do that?
TM: Well...the car was parked, I wasn't anywhere near it, it's not my fault, Higgins will understand that.
(In the study)
Higgins: You irresponsible cretin!
Magnum: Higgins, it' wasn't my fault!
Higgins: It's never your fault yet Mr. Masters property always looks like it's been salvaged from the rubbish bin.
TM: It's just a little scratch!
Higgins: If it was just a scratch you would have tried to rub it out with spit or something equally disgusting.
TM: No I wouldn't.
(Higgins walks outside and sees the Ferrari)
Higgins: Oh my God! This isn't a scratch, it's a bloody gouge.
TM: No, actually a gouge is much deeper.
Higgins: Magnum, I've seen cars come through four years of the blitz looking better than this.
Great scene between Higgins and Magnum!

The scene that usually makes me laugh a lot is in Mad Buck Gibson where there is an exchange between Magnum and Higgins (outside the quest house as Mad Buck makes the wall famous) where Higgins describes Mad Buck jumping a fountain in Robin's new car and the gardener develops hysterical amnesia. It is Magnum's reaction to the story that to me makes it pretty funny.

Hi guys. first ever post here and a big hello from New Zealand.
Two of the funnest moments for me are as follows:
In the Elmo Zilla episode we see Magnum sprint between the guest house and the main to try and catch Higgins out and he's laughing all the way as he sprints. That one always makes me laugh.
Secondly: The episode in which Higgins is in a wheel chair after an accident in the Ferrari, Magnum is pushing Higgins in the chair as they talk and stop infront of a large hill. Magnum turns his back as he talks and Higgins chair starts rolling down the hill and as it does we hear Higgins yelling "oh my gooooooooood"
And i was laughing as i typed these.
