I did enjoy the opening scenes of the early episodes, really cool. I had hoped for some more S&S but nothing after the 8 ep marathon. Oh, I'm a native too, born at El Cajon Valley Hospital.
To my knowledge, only the unaired 1978(!) pilot, Pirate's Key, was filmed in Florida. Segments of that pilot were later added to the season two two-part episode of the same name. Too bad the entire original "Pirate's Key" has never aired.

One thing I've always wondered: in the episodes where the Simons travel to (ostensibly) Mexico, were those episodes actually filmed there? Some of the town set pieces look like Universal properties but I suppose all those desert scenes were just California?

It's funny, I never thought about it but S&S technically predated Magnum.

This was a fun marathon, really enjoyed "Emeralds..." with a bit of Higgins & Magnum, and of course Morgan. Today ended with "The Guessing Game" I think was the title with Kathleen Lloyd playing a psychic... looking forward to Thurs for a few more eps of S&S.

Oh, this week on Esquire is "The Stache Bash" with mustache-themed movies & tv shows, no mention of Magnum though=bummed.
