I think it's part of the appeal of the series.

Many shows have put me off with hard nosed, ultra-perfect leads. Magnum wasn't perfect, but more human.

I've tried VERY hard not to post a comment in answer to your review, Jay-Firestorm. I've talked to my self about "everyone has a right to his opinion." I've talked to my self about "live and let live." I even did some dishes to get my mind off of the comment that I want to post in answer to your review. But I can't stand it....

I HAVE to say that on a list of words that I would use to describe a kiss from Thomas Magnum, the word "excruciating" would not be at the top. In fact, it wouldn't be on the list at all!!

Dear me!!

Shocked

PS - Whew! Thanks for letting me get that out of my system!

I agree, Bes! A lot of people think this episode is silly but I like that it shows how tender Thomas is with vulnerable people like Adelaide. And how he judges people by their merit...not their appearance. That's an ongoing trait that I think Tom Selleck brought to the role. Maybe because in real life he's the most unassuming DREAMBOAT in the world!!!!

By the way...welcome to the site! Hope you're enjoying it!!

Smile

Here's another amusing flub. This one is brought to by Senor Coops!



Stationary rotor blades, above T.C.'s head. Smile

I agree completely with Agatha's review. This is indeed a sweet episode and you really get a feel for what a good guy TM is.

I haven't seen this one in forever, but I recently pulled out my Season One DVD set, so I think I'll give it a spin soon.

I love being able to watch these over and over again and I love that there are so many to that with! Smile

I also agree. This has become one of my favorite episodes for all the reasons stated previously.
Something I did notice, that Norman is more likely a "Norma". If you look at the screen capture from after the competition (see page 2 of this thread) there are certain items missing from Norman. I may not be much of a judge of horseflesh, but I did notice a certain apparatus was missing!

Yikes! I never noticed that, but now I won't be able to not look!

I'm not a helicopter pilot by any means but is that center seat really a seat or was that helicopter a non-working prop used for the scene? I think I already know the answer here. Reason being, I don't think there is a center seat there. She would be sitting on the co-pilot's cyclic if she was sitting there. I think they did that just so that they could get all three of them together in the same shot. Practical for the shot but not for a working helicopter IMHO. I'm pretty sure you can get three across in the back seat as the capacity was said to be for 5. I can't imagine them putting 3 in the front and 2 in the back. I think there was also another ep., the one with Sharon Stone, where they sat three across in the front for the same effect of getting all three in the same shot.

Also, in reading the other posts, was Cathcart's hand supposed to be an artificial replacement or was that some kind of rubber skin over his hand? I had assumed since it looked like a rubber skin and his fingers were sceen moving, that he had burned his hand badly in the past and therefore had to were that "glove" to cover it? Never thought of it as an amputee hand until reading the above posts. Interesting.
