I did not make the connection to raiders of the lost ark here (but I can't unsee it now). The female lead looks a lot like the actress from raiders (I noticed it last night before this message board filled in the obvious fact that the characters are both named Marion). Based on timing - Raiders woul...

Really enjoyed this episode. Did some digging and it appears the writer only did one other Magnum, but was a writer on both sopranos and northern exposure (including the episode Cicely - which I have not seen in a long time, but recall it being really good. Thought Rick was better in this episode (m...

I watched on Roku tv last night. While not my favorite episode (Billy Joe Bob was a bit much and I much prefer the later seasons Higgins/Magnum dynamic). The picture quality on Roku was first rate, maybe I am jaded by watching a lot of episodes on Charge tv (over the air with an ok signal), but I th...

Bumping this to the top of the board. Anyone watching season 2 40 years later? Watched Billy Joe Bob tonight (40 years exactly) and will not be upset if it is another 40 until I see it again.

Answering a question from 2018 (a few posts back). The quote about taking care of small details was not a conversation between Magnum and his grand father in the finale. It is a conversation referenced in voice over during transitions the penultimate episode. Oddly also with his grandfather (I guess...

Another note on this episode - did anyone else think it was odd that Doc Eyebold could perform surgery? Maybe in am emergency but there had to be more qualified surgeons.

I may have oversold the story Ivan, but here it goes. I saw innocent man opening weekend - my senior year in high school (fall of 89). After a hard day at work (bagging groceries at 3.35 an hour - which was actually an awesome job) I took my parents car (a brand new 1990 2 door Chevy cavalier) and p...

Jumping into this thread a bit randomly based on a memory Runaway came out in December of 1984. At that point I was a pretty big magnum damn and excited to see Tom Selleck in a movie. My friends were also super excited (because Gene Simmons from Kiss was also in it). I had to really play it cool lea...

I would be interested to see what he has to say about Magnum. I think the people on this board want a thousand page book exclusively dedicated to Magnum.

I liked this episode a lot. Watched it for the first time in probably 30 years last weekend. The one thing that surprised me is giving away the twist in the opening preview. Granted it happened 20 minutes in, but would have been a great twist to encounter. Seems like this was pretty common in 80s sh...

https://www.outsidethebeltway.com/wkrp-and-stupid-copyright-laws/ This is what I was referring to - not sure if it is true or not. I only remember with wkrp being excited when it came back on in syndication (early/mid 90s) and noticing songs missing. The real obvious one is an episode where Andy Tra...

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. Completel...

My brother really liked Magnum (4 years older than me) and I started watching based on his recommendation. Some of the early episodes I remember were the look and Holmes is where the heart is. Around that time CBS would show episodes at 11:30 from the previous year one night a week (I think?). I saw...

Some great episode call outs here. For a while little girl who was a handful of episodes you could stream from Netflix (before 2010 - when they were just starting streaming). That one should probably be on my top 10 most watched. I always like the fact that magnum trusts Higgins with Lily at the est...

Not sure if it is available, but I remember really liking tour of duty. It was a late 80s show about Vietnam (after platoon won an Oscar there was a need for a show about Vietnam). Anyone else remember this one and has anyone seen it this millennium to let me know if it holds up? Sopranos or xfiles ...
