A meh episode for me. The only thing notable is that it is the last time TM wears his Chronosport. I find it odd that he wore it two more times after the season opener (wears it in the opening when he meets CB)...considering the GMT was supposedly the only watch he ever wore. I may be the only one who like the Chronosport more than the GMT...probably because im wearing the same model as I type this.

Really the same? Where did you get it?

Boy Jillie Mack looks pretty good in this episode, I was surprised to find that she is marred to Selleck.

While certainly not a "classic" episode, this one has its moments, like the laughter in the bank vault, which didn't embarrass me, but did seem to have happened spur-of-the-moment, as the villain even loses it for a bit...

I do feel like the episodes have hit a bit of a lull, the last somewhat classic episode recently was "operation silent night," however, even that was a bit cheesy in my book (why would they bury the japanese pilot instead of report it?)...

At any rate, I'm just happy when I manage to watch an episode on the DVD that I haven't already seen on TV before - I've been on a bad run with that lately, having to re-watch about 6 episodes I've already seen, and unfortunately, they weren't among my favorites...

Saw a Family Guy episode recently that featured Brian and Stewie locked in a bank vault for a weekend together. The whole episode was just them in the bank vault. No cutaway gags or anything. Alcohol was consumed. Confessions were made. Tempers flared. Uncontrollable laughter. A gun made an appearance. Eerily similar to this episode!

With all the Magnum references in Family Guy, I was really expecting either Brian or Stewie to saying something like, "Hey, didn't this happen in a Magnum P.I. episode with Tom Selleck and Carol Burnett?" Sadly, they never did!

Carol Burnett was asked on the Piers Morgan show last night (4-21-11) what fond memories she had working with "hunky" actors over her career. She replied enthusiasticly she loved working with Burt Reynolds and Tom Selleck and found both very generous and funny to be around. I have always liked this episode as you can't fake good chemistry between actors.................

Carol Burnett and Tom Sellck = Gold.

Love it!

Strangely, what I remember most is the dress Carol wears in the vault. My father and I used to watch this show every day in re-runs in the late 80s and he HATED that dress. Everytime this episode played he'd make a comment about it. She made up for it though by wearing the best clothes on the Carol Burnett Show!

This episode was pretty good...and I rated it as such. I love Carol Burnett so I enjoyed her as the main guest-star. She was hilarious on her own show, but even though she was a little more serious in this "Magnum" episode, some of the Burnett-style humor shown through and it was enjoyable and entertaining!

The only issue I really have with "Rembrandt's Girl", is the aspect that it mostly took place inside the bank vault. After a while it got a little boring and monotonous. But, it wasn't bad.

Agreed, a "pretty good" episode but nothing great. I have to say I did really enjoy Rick and TC having a bash in the guest house. That british lady was funny, even though she's pretty darn annoying in a much later episode where she has orange hair and is Higgins niece or something? Higgins reaction to the party cracks me up and good chemistry between Carol Burnett and TS.

You mean Jillie Mack, aka Mrs. Selleck!!

Oh my gosh, are you serious? That's Tom Selleck's wife in real life? Wow, I never knew that!

she looks gooooood in that episode. I couldn't deal with the accent, but she looked nice.

Good fun episode. I will also chime in on Carol Burnett......there were elements of her character in this episode that you reallly could only appreciate had you known her from her sketch comedy show. She was demonstrative and zany......big into physical comedy.

One major flub that bothered me.....I don't care how long they were sitting after the sprinklers were turned off.......there's no way they should've looked as dry and refreshed as before. She had her hair perfect, makeup in place.

If you get the chance to watch her show on DVD.....I suggest you do so. She created so many memorable characters. My favorite part about her show was watching Tim Conway, Harvey Korman trying not to laugh through their lines............that cracked me up more than anything. Seeing Carol or Vicki Lawrence lose it was more rare and that much more enjoyable..........loved that show. Can't remember how many times I watched the reruns that ran in syndication when I was a kid. Mama's Family originated out of a sketch from this show.

While MPI does tend to get a little "campy" from time to time, which is part of its charm, this one was just too stupid for me. With the star talent available, I think it was just poorly written and directed. It is my least favorite episode. More remeniscent of a Carol Burnet slapstick skit than a regular MPI episode.
Only redeeming part? When the sprinklers soak Carol and Tom, you can see Carol's nipples through her dress. I guess that's OK.

Watched this last night and hated it, so logged on here to find what everyone else had thought about it. Very surprised, mostly positive comments, but then that's what opinions are about. I have enjoyed every magnum episode up ' no more mr nice guy' which was just ok but didn't like the female character and i forced myself to watch this out of habit more than anything else, so that's 2 dodgy episodes in a row.

As others have said, obviosly some are big fans of Carol Burnett also, i don't know who she is so she added nothing to this for me.

Happy to say i'm just on No.15 paradise blues now and it's back to normal, much better!!
