Well, I saw a few comments on this thread by mistake, and was really worried about this episode...but it turned out I really, kind of, liked it. Or least, didn't hate it as much as some on here and feel like I need to defend it. I remember growing up with my mom loving Carol Burnett, and some of the...

I did not remember this episode at all, and wasn't looking forward to it, but ended up liking it a fair amount. I also remember Eilleen Brennan from Private Benjamin, and also from CLUE. After about 10 minutes I felt like I knew where this story was going to go, but I like the character stuff so muc...

I was lukewarm on this one. The super-natural's usually a tough sell for me, but for the most part MPI eps have enough going for them that I can look past it and enjoy the show. I don't check these threads before viewing, but I appreciate all the positive reviews and it makes me want to go back and ...

Anybody know what kind of patch T.C. is wearing on his beret here? http://magnum-mania.com/images/7_22_p_full.jpg Not the same beret as in Try To Remember or Heal Thyself either. https://i.imgur.com/cfV4AyLl.png https://i.imgur.com/KSR6lnsl.png Thanks for the pics! I love this episode. Growing up, ...

I wish I was on these boards 20 years ago! I'm a military buff, and magnum in his fatigues caught my attention too, as I remembered him being a full Commander, but noticed the Lieutenant Commander (LCDR) insignia on his fatigues here. I have a few observations/theories. I don't think Magnum ever res...

[/quote] What specifically wouldn't work today? [/quote] Well, the tone is a little too far out there. It all worked for me, but the musical cues (like when Luther interrupts HIggins in the middle of the episode), Luther's manner of speaking AND his narration, and even the scene at the end where Lut...

Yeah, there are a lot of 80's shows I still like, but the writing style was so different then that even some of my "favorites" I can only take in small doses. It's amazing to me that I can watch MPI over and over and still enjoy it every time!

I can't lie, I often feel weird posting to a thread started so long ago and with the last reply so many years ago, but I'm doing my re-watch in order, so here we go... I think all the detractors of this episode are almost completely right. The B-plot in Hawaii is yawn-worthy and stale, it's got a se...

They’ve got me hoping for a movie now! I’m only a third through this last season, but I’m enjoying it!

Thanks guys! Even when this version of MPI wasn’t totally what I wanted, I enjoyed the locations and the fact that I got more magnum. I saw the first few eps of season 5 and liked them, but then cut cable. Your positive takes have made me determined to see the rest of season 5, and hope somehow the ...

Man, I’ve only watched this season sporadically, and often While cleaning in the kitchen or otherwise distracted…but I’ve really like this season and especially this episode! I’m finding the episodes this season fine to good, but I’m really liking how they’re teasing out the Buck Greene thing and th...

Wow!!! This is one of those episodes I watched and kept thinking “this would never work today!”, but I still loved. It was a little cheesy…or a lot cheesy, but I still had so much fun with this one! I tried to give the magnum reboot a chance, but it never really clicked with me; this episode made me...

Between family and work, a lot of my TV watching is on my phone on the treadmill. In fact, that’s how I watch much of MPI, although I’ll often go back through the episode at home after reading through the threads if the clubs or locations are particularly interesting. So for China Beach, I bought th...

I rated this one a 9.0, and was surprised to see it’s average rating is so much lower than that. I think the criticisms presented are certainly valid (slow, disjointed, etc…) but I read Lynda Van Devanter’s book (_Home_Before_Morning_), and I really, really enjoyed learning about a nurse’s perspecti...

I was shocked to hear this! Even as a young kid remember seeing him on game or talk shows, and he was always so positive and complimentary of his co-stars.
