I agree about not creating forums about politics and religions...etc but I do not think it is a problem to be truthful about one's own leanings if there is a reason to do so. For example, the MPI gang all had political leanings that were formed because of what happened to them in the war. Several ep...

Has anyone come up with Bubba Higgins? He was a half-brother sired when Higgins' dad toured the southern US... :lol:

I like all of the names that are tied to the show. It pays tribute to a great series!

Have you thought of approaching Roger or Larry about appearing in a web chat with Magnum Mania?

MAC makes a good point. The old version of the theme song was too 70s and tied the show to the 'old guard' of detective shows IMHO. The new theme song rocked and fit the newer times. I began watching the show when the new song began playing on the radio. I remember thinking that the show must be coo...

I liked this one. Yea, the computer equipment is hilarious to see. Man, the modems where you place the telephone handset into...wow those are old! Does anyone remember the first generation of laptops (getting slightly off subject)? They did not have a hard drive; they booted off the floppy drive wit...

This one caught me by surprize. I expected the siste would not be the angel that Rick thought she was but I did not expect her to get wasted. The punk club looked eerily familiar. The 80s are a little hazy for me due to age but I remember the club scene pretty well. We had some great bands in our to...

Yea, Wilcox was a looker but boy what a hostile attitude... I would consider her a b*@%&... Bruno, I'm not sure about Hawaii but most of the mainland US began getting hooked up to cable TV in the mid 70s. Ours offered about 8 channels! Several (sometimes many) channels were added each year and we ha...

Thanks, IKNOW,

I have never seen Sleuth Channel because we do not get it in my area.

It was really cool getting to see two episodes that I had never seen (when I purchased the DVDs)!

Syndication Anomaly?

Maybe it's just me but I think I spotted something strange about the syndication run of MPI. I watched MPI in syndication on the USA network throughout the 90s, A&E and Hallmark networks for the first half of the 00s, and a few times on WGN. I noticed that "Thank Heavens for Little Girls" and "Opera...

Thanks for posting. I'm glad Tom can peacefully co-exist with Magnum. Too many times a star will regret the very vehicle who made them a star. I have never figured this one out. Without MPI, Tom would probably be selling cars in Van Nuys... Face it, everyone needs a vehicle to get noticed, even Sell...

To each their own so if you liked this epi, then great but I almost barfed! It was totally campy for me. It was actually a pretty good story but the way they exaggerated the interaction between the characters put it over the top. Carol Burnett is one of the great ones and it was good to see her agai...

I suppose when I wrote the original post, I was assuming the people who watched AI might care to respond. Those who post saying, "I don't like it or I hate reality shows" I hear you and agree somewhat. I do not care for 'reality' shows either except for the few that focus upon peoples' talent. I cou...

Tank, You may be right about Magnum but I believe his feeling are not hurt from having fallen in love. I believe he is astonished at what a fool he was. This woman marked him out in advance and used him almost all the way to the bank. He was devistated at his own lack of ability to separate his emot...

No, James. That's not marginal. It is a geuine spot! Good job. The tape was part of the staging and should not have been revealed to the audience. Good detective work... 8)
