Robin's Nest in the Banned episode of Hawaii Five-O

This episode of Five-O was so controversial it was never ever re-run and it's been locked away in a CBS vault since 1970 it was never included in any DVD set but you can watch the opening 3 minutes here and you will see Robin's Nest. I would love to be able to watch this entire episode it's wild! ht...

Florida Man Treads Water for 20 Hours!!

This guy did it he's 61 years old so I guess this is the new world record. And he's a Navy veteran! He came home from the sea with the help of the Coast Guard they went out to look for him after 12 hours and found him after 20: http://www.tampabay.com/news/humaninterest/homosassa-man-treads-water-fo...

Re: Did Obamas Purchase Magnum PI House?

The estate?! He wagered the estate on a poker game?! Why? Why would he do such a thing? Oh come on Higgins it'll be fun having Obama living here. Much more fun than Buzz Benoit. No Magnum I can't and won't allow this. You must sabotage this transaction immediately. How? How can I sabotage a deal tha...

Re: Crossovers you wish had happened?

I would have asked Tom to play Lance White again for a funny episode where Lance is in Hawaii on a case and he has to team up with Magnum. The way Lance always made Rockford look so ridiculous they really should have spun Lance off into his own series in 1978 or 1979 it would have been great but we ...

Re: Where We Find Thomas Today

I want new episodes with a new cast. I'm tired of watching the old episodes I've seen every single one many many times. Higgins was a fantastic wonderful character and Hillerman was a brilliant actor especially since he's from Texas. They would have to find a British stage actor to play the new Higg...

Re: Seasons 1-4 are Superior to Seasons 5-8

Most shows have their best seasons in their 2nd and 3rd years, sometimes their 4th year, then the show goes downhill and they get progressively worse the longer it stays on. There are exceptions like Breaking Bad which kept getting better but that was a cable series and they only did 13 episodes a s...

Re: Where We Find Thomas Today

They could always rent the estate again or find another ocean front estate. That's not a problem. Sean Connery played James Bond from 1962 to 1971 then he returned for one final film in 1983. Roger Moore was Bond from 1973 to 1985 then we had Timothy Dalton for two films in 1987 and 1989. Pierce Bro...

Re: "How To Be A World Class Private Investigator" - List?

Luther Gillis wrote the book first and TM thought it was hilarious, that was a great funny scene when they are in the car together. "So You Wanta Be A Private Eye" and The Big Guy ain't got nothin' to top Luther with. Luther should have gotten his own spin-off series I always thought he should be a ...

Re: Favourite Higgins Moment?

I'm watching part 2 of Did You See The Sunrise on Cozi TV and Higgins has a great moment after Magnum leaves to go watch Stalag 17 (TM realizes William Holden is the key to the mystery) so Higgins continues telling the story of how he helped build the Bridge on the River Kwai but he tells the story ...

Re: Things you DON'T Like About the Show

The show lost a lot of its energy for action and adventure and inventive mysteries and suspense when Bellisario walked away from it. He stopped writing it and he stopped supervising the other writers he was totally gone but they kept his name on it for every freeze-frame at the end which I think was...

Re: Where We Find Thomas Today

I think at some point CBS and Universal will reboot the show with a new cast the way they did Hawaii Five O and that reboot is a big success for CBS. If they update Magnum with an all new cast it could work. He'd be a veteran from Afghanistan or Iraq with TC and Rick also having served in our recent...

Re: Magnum PI & Vietnam veterans

The show stopped doing Vietnam flashbacks after Did You See The Sunrise. There were no more Vietnam scenes until All For One in season five and this was a huge mistake but it was due to Bellisario having less and less to do with the show. He left the show at some point and I think it was wrong for h...
