Yeah but he's only doing it because the president is under threat. This is probably the kind of hoohah he did back when he was with MI6 (or was it MI5?). It's not like they were breaking in just for the hell of it. The whole commando raid on the house was full of win and clearly the best thing about this pretty silly episode. Mark me down as one of those who found Norris irritating. I did get a kick out of the retro computer stuff though! God, those stone age modems!!charybdis1966 wrote:Like others before me I started to find the Waldo character annoying after quite a short time. even the way he said "figurine" I found annoying.
Plus points were that Rick comes across as quite a likeable, decent guy and TM's rather silly attempt to impress the thrill junkie girlfriend although Higgin's appears to behave out of character in agreeing to assist in a breaking and entering felony.

Nonetheless there's one very good reason to watch it, the gorgeous Lenore Kasdorf who already caught my attention in "The Six Million Dollar Man" episode "Act of Piracy".
I see she was in a large number of classic TV shows, including some that I own like the mentioned "Six Mil'", "Starsky & Hutch" and "The A-Team".
Gotta watch them again, sooner or later.
Yes, small world. I'm the one who made the comment on that webpage back in 2010.marlboro wrote:MagnumILWU wrote:http://www.starringthecomputer.com/feature.html?f=250 Guest star, Cork Hubbert is from my hometown, Portland Oregon.

Thank you!Little Garwood wrote: You're a man of taste, Magnum T! I raise a Coops in your honor.
Lenore Kasdorf--a forgotten goddess if their ever was one--will definitely catch your attention in the season four Simon & Simon episode, What Goes Around Comes Around.
Her most famous role is in the Chuck Norris masterpiece, Missing in Action (1984).
I just watched it and I feel the same way.Mad Kudu Buck wrote: I thought this episode was a load of crap. I found Waldo annoying and the story line was unbelievable. I like seeing old computers, but in this case it was obvious they were just trying to push Atari sales and the computer usage was so unrealistic that it was hard to watch.

I thought this episode was a load of crap. I found Waldo annoying and the story line was unbelievable. I like seeing old computers, but in this case it was obvious they were just trying to push Atari sales and the computer usage was so unrealistic that it was hard to watch.
I think this may not be a flub. There’s a “clunk” at 46:29 (:09 in the video excerpt) which could be Rick putting the gun belt back down on the table. It is definitely different from the clunk when TM puts down his milk glass. You have to listen closely, but it is definitely different from the sound made when TM puts down his milk glass. The next time we see Rick he is readjusting his pants. So my theory is he actually puts the gun belt down to readjust the waist band of his pants.Episode Guide wrote:At 46:26, Rick is seen putting on a gunbelt to go with the uniform Higgins got him. A few seconds later the gunbelt is seen laying buckled on the coffee table, where Rick picks it up to put it on... again. (Noted by Tami Young)
Carol the Dabbler wrote:True, and that very thought occurred to me when I watched the episode tonight. But then it occurred to me that Magnum is in a hospital, which is the first place I ever saw a remote control. I don't recall seeing a remote control in the episode, but hospitals of that era were providing them to anyone who rented a TV -- maybe it was just off-camera. So Magnum could have simultaneously put the handset into the acoustic coupler and turned on the TV set. I know, I know, he was all thumbs due to the body cast, but theoretically, he could have. So maybe it isn't a for-sure flub after all?James J. Walters wrote:In the episode guide, I ... said an analog TV couldn't turn itself on by placing a phone onto an acoustic coupler modem.
I whole heartedly agree with you on this one; it's a story that's trying to be too clever to the extent that it's no longer entertaining.Philip Jennings wrote: ↑Fri Aug 05, 2022 4:31 am Maybe this isn't such a good first post for me on here but regarding this episode I feel it must be said: Nope. No, No, No.
Sorry, not a fan. Magnum's convenient typos on that magical wireless battery operated computer: no. And so on... (mirror contraption adjustments eye-balled and successful on the first try...?)
I promise I'll be nicer in my future posts.
