Re: The John Hillerman Thread

Higgins' high pants Has anyone notice that the character often is sporting high pants? What is that about? https://i.ibb.co/0QNLM6k/vlcsnap-2021-09-17-14h36m33s593.png https://i.ibb.co/mqVGpxz/article-2716329-203-E160900000578-163-634x947.jpg https://i.ibb.co/3r8N4bn/flat-1000x1000-075-f-u3.jpg

Re: Squeeze Play (4.7)

When I was a production assistant from 93-95 the non SAG rate for “atmosphere” or extras was $65 for eight hours. SAG members got $100. I would wager the vast majority of local talent in Hawaii was non SAG, so it would be far less expensive than you might think. The only one in that bar scene with ...

Re: Most Annoying Character

The winner, however, is Carol Baldwin. This unwelcome character was shoehorned into the (secondary) supporting cast. Kathleen Lloyd must have had a brilliant agent for her to have imo unjustly received special guest star credit. I forget which episode, but there is an especially irritating scene in...

Re: Most Shocking/Jolting Magnum Moment

3.23 Faith and Begorrah's final scene came out of nowhere. Rick and TC are chatting while taking pictures of a woman arguing with her boyfriend on a lighthouse. It is part of a divorce case. Then all of a sudden this happens: https://i.ibb.co/xGDcq6Q/vlcsnap-2021-08-11-20h53m21s517.png The guy just ...

I hope he took getting small parts playing "nerdy annoying guy" well. Perhaps he had the attitude, "I may be typecast, but unlike most other actors at least I am getting cast."

Re: The Look (4.9)

Going just on memory - it was the same version as syndication. Definitely the same songs. (35+ years later I am saying that with confidence). I think there were different rules for music if you filmed on tape or film. It was how wkrp was able to get so many current songs in their episodes. Complete...

Re: Back from Vacation!

Conch, you're looking remarkably healthy and tropical. The Keys agree with you. He is looking remarkably healthy Styles Bitchley ? What, did you expect him to look unhealthy? Was a photograph of him in a hospital bed hooked up to IVs and a ventilator what you would have expected? Now, I am just giv...

Re: How did you get into Magnum?

My tale has been told in another thread, but I will regale you fine people of this site with it again. I was a single digit aged kid when the series started and was in high school when it ended. Most of the originally aired episodes I missed due to either my older sister having an iron fist as to wh...

Re: Most watched episodes

Decided to try and record the entire series on VHS as soon as it went into syndication. Took me a couple of attempts as if you missed an episode you had to wait for it to cycle through the entire series again. But finally got the complete series. About 40 VHS tapes :shock: That is dedication. Have ...

Re: Most watched episodes

Sorry I should have been more clear. What I meant to say is that I read somewhere that "Laura" was the only episode that CBS did not show in reruns. I did not mean to include syndication. Also do modern networks still do the "rerun" thing when the season is over? Do they just not air the show until ...

Re: Most watched episodes

For me I always go back to "Laura" (the one with Frank Sinatra). It starts out dark, then has some light moments, then goes completely dark. I ask you Magnum experts if it is true that it is the only episode that never went into reruns as I read that somewhere. If true, I can see why as it was messe...

Ugh, I have been hesitant to mention my go to site for free shows because I do not know if the site is full of danger as my computers are really locked down. I do not know how they make money (Ads?
