It's great how much he sounds like Troy McClure there too. :D

Magnum in his full on authentic Tigers uniform.

The PACHISMO incident ha ha ha ha ha!
Concur. The Patchismo / Pat Pants / Patty Bear / Pat Wax stuff made this episode. I can't help but laugh every time I see the scene in the guesthouse where they are watching TV and start talking about the brussels sprouts smell and then TC comes in with the tale of how Pat Wax took the paint off his van -- "I am talking DOWN TO THE METAL OFF!" Great parody of Amway. "The inmates started getting these rashes and smelling like vegetables... had to get myself put in solitary...!" :lol:

Other than that, this ep is pretty meh.

Oh and Hingle also appeared in an episode of 5-0 with John Hillerman about selling nuclear weapons to terrorists, so there's that.

YES, great observation. I am a HUGE Eastwood fan, so I also noticed him. He was in an earlier Magnum episode as well. Have to admit, the chase and fight scene with him and Selleck was pretty weak. The stuntman was obvious and the fight was not done well at all.

Just watched a rerun of this episode. It was not as bad as I remember but it still was lackluster. I think seasons 5 and 6 were the decline years for MPI.

One word: lawyers.
I'd add another: insurance.
To paraphrase John Hillerman (who wisely never did his own stunts), an actor like Selleck has to put his ego aside and let the double do their job, because if Selleck is injured, 150 people are suddenly out of work.

Co-incidence ? Probably. :)
I like the fact that John Ratzenberger's characgter has a friend called "Norm" just like in Cheers, and that Norm was played by the guy(Dic Durock) who dressed up as Imperious Leader in another Glen Larson production Battlestar Galactica.
Gripe ? Why was Nancy DeCarl playing a red head ? Booo ! Blondes rule.
This episode has a lot of Hollywood in jokes in it. The lawyer - spelled Harry Clayborn - makes a remark about his son being a actor. At the time the real life
Harry Clayborn was a Las Vegas lawyer to the stars, a mover and shaker among the Hollywood elite, pals with Carol Burnett etc.

Trying to decide if the window break scene is a Fourth Wall.

Kinda close.

Thoughts?
Knocking my rubber chicken or my sloppy habits is within the rules, but you're attacking my character. I would like to think you don't mean that.

Are you talking about when he looks back through the broken window glass at about 24:20? If so, I say no, he's just looking back at Harry.

The Magnumometer is a little inflated due to all the Aloha shirts and Tigers caps, but I think that's OK, for a classic episode like this one.

I like how Garwood dresses up like Magnum and it goes completely uncommented upon.
