Thanks, R. C.! When we watched that episode a while back, I noticed that the views were quite similar to some photos I had taken (a few years pre-Magnum) from another high-rise on Ala Wai Boulevard. I'm glad you posted the address --it's only a couple of blocks away.

In your middle photo (below), the Ala Wai Canal is clearly visible through the lanai railing. In other parts of that scene, the more Mauka views (panned to the right from your middle photo) are of the Manoa Valley, and one of the most Ewa views (panned to the left) shows the distinctive profile of the Ala Moana Building (http://www.alamoanacenter.com/leasing_amcbldg.htm), with the revolving restaurant on top.

Good info Carol. It's funny - in Honolulu even the less desirable views are still awesome compared to what you'd have in almost any other city.

I always enjoy when people can relate these locations to their own experiences. Smile

Is Pogo Poge kind of like Flava Flav?

Wow, that was a pretty trippy beginning.

What was with the dog?

It was just...there.

I was expecting SOMETHING to happen with it!

It looks like the intro is cut short, unfortunately. What an odd bunch of characters! H.R. Pufnstuf comes to mind. Wink

Al Harrington (Mano), "The South Pacific Man", was the first high school football All-American to come out of Hawaii! After leading his high school (Punahou School) to a championship, he went to Stanford on a four-year football scholarship, then turned down an offer to play with the Baltimore Colts to go on a church mission in the South Pacific!

He was Ben Kokua on Hawaii Five-0 and a headlining Waikiki entertainer (including fire knife dancing) for many years. Right up there with Don Ho and Dick Jensen in terms of popularity.

What a cool guy!

Yea, this epi is so bad it makes you like it for its 'cult film' type of appeal.

Higgins being outsmarted by the girls is priceless however...

Wow, I guess I'm in the minority here, I really liked this episode. Funny writing and great teamwork. I'll admit the plot is a bit too much, but overall very good production values. Man, when the girls call Higgins "Huggins" I couldn't stop laughing, Hillerman does a great job of conveying frustration that he's lost control of the situtation, and more broadly, the estate in general. How little he knows that he's in for 8 more years of TM's house guest causing problems.

I really like the "feel" of these earlier episodes better, a little seedier and a bit more sex appeal in general. The clothes are much better too(and funnier) IMO. By season 4 or 5, it seemed like all the female guest stars were shopping at the same terrible shoulder-pad ridden clothing store. I'll take 70's clothes over 80's any day.

Does anyone agree or disagree with my thought that the "feel" of the shows is different and better in the first few seasons? While I love TM's sensitivity, later seasons seemed to devolve into TM babysitting a bunch of annoying clients. I liek the more hard-eged approach here. In any case, hoorah for Magnum!
