Ultimate Fan of Magnum, PI

#1 Post by ConchRepublican »

Well, it's official!!!

Shooting in my office just finished today for my promo for Cozi TV as the Ultimate Fan of Magnum, PI!!!

I didn't puke on my shoes, so I have that going for me. :wink:

Tomorrow they come over to the Tiki Bar (in 40 degree weather) and I answer a few questions and show off my Magnum themed collection. While I may not have the most extensive collection, I'm focusing on my love for the theme of the show . . . the loyalty and friendship between these men and Thomas Magnum's moral center while he searches for himself after Vietnam. OK, I'm not going that deep, but I have always been attracted to the Knight Errant aspect of TM . . . .

Anyhoo, thanks to JJ for the support and I'll keep everyone up to speed with things.

Just got done watching "Tropical Madness" on Cozi TV, over-the-air! Just like old times. Hehe! During one of the commercial breaks they ran a Bionic Woman promo that showed a scene where Jaime throws a teddy bear at a would-be sniper high up on an amusement park cable car. The teddy bear flew what seemed to be a hundred yards and hit the guy in the legs causing him to topple out of the car! A policeman calls out that he is "ok, he landed in the pond." LOL! A teddy bear knocks the guy over? Ya gotta love classic TV. :)

Anyway, Conch, I'm so excited for you man! I can't wait to see the promo(s)! CR, chillin' at the Tiki Bar, talkin' 'bout Magnum while the cameras roll. How cool is that! :)

Hi guys!

Filming wrapped up earlier this afternoon. We went through all my MPI related paraphernalia (I think that's the first time I ever wrote that word) and discussed each piece and what it means. Then we spent some time at the Tiki Bar talking about it's origins. Made a few drinks, showed off my smoking skills with some ribs and a pork butt I just happened to have in the smoker :wink: and then it was off to the interview.

There were about 25 questions (that I thankfully had a head of time) and then they mic'd up Mrs. Conch and asked her about my "passion". Thankfully I had gotten her the team insignia pendant for Valentine's Day (hey, if it was good enough for Michelle ...) so she had a cool connection as well. She did great!

Overall it was a really cool experience. I was a bit nervous to start but that faded, the crew was really good and made us feel at ease. They also said that while this was intended as a 30 second promo they are thinking it could be expanded to a 5 minute mini interview or as part of a broader show.

There's also a chance for a return to Flemingo Key in the nice weather ... For a future thing. Hey, I wouldn't mind hosting a "Live from Flemingo Key" for a CoziTV summer promotion!

Now if I only was able to get CoziTV on DirecTV .....

Very cool.........Give us some warning and perhaps some of us can invite ourselves over and give the crew a Parrot Shirt headache!

HA!!! How awesome . . . or awful . . . would a Magnum convention be? I mean, it would be great for us, but take a second to picture that visual of Flemingo Key full of people dressed like TM!!!!

Then again . . . :magnum:

Here's a picture the producer texted me that she took on her phone during the shooting. Flemingo Key looks like it's still hibernating . . .
