Well I certainly noticed her back then! I may have a few years on you, though.
I'm pretty sure that the "meeting" Colt Seavers had was with Tom Selleck, and not Magnum. I also recall that the two don't appear in the same frame at any given time.
Heather Thomas. *Sigh* She's the great, forgotten beauty of 1980s TV. I remember a school chum of mine circa 1984-85 (eighth grade for me) had a poster of her above his bed. The poster where Heather Thomas is wearing a pink bikini:
Everyone remembers that "other" Heather, Locklear, but even then I thought that Heather Thomas was the clear winner back then. Locklear was merely cute. Heather Thomas, on the other hand, was a goddess. lol
As for the show itself, I recall NOT liking that Howie character, whose attempts at comedy were annoying. I don't remember any episodes offhand but I enjoyed the show (Tuesday nights?) and the fact that Colt was a stuntman *and* bounty hunter. No one could be any cooler than that (except a certain ex-Navy S.E.A.L., of course). Lee Majors managed to be iconic in three different shows in three different decades: The Big Valley; The Six Million Dollar Man; and The Fall Guy.
