Re: Most watched episodes
Agree - I have definitely seen Laura in syndication. Cannot remember if the genesis song was still included in the more recent rebroadcasts. Recently strike tv included it in a famous guess stars marathon (at a minimum it was in the commercial). I did not get to watch but I think the episodes were T...

Re: Home From the Sea (4.1)
Watched again tonight. The final flashback where young thomas is treading for an hour. Is that a real memory? To help clarify: for years I thought the final sequence was not a memory, but a scene he was making up. Almost a wish fulfilment "if I tread water for an hour, maybe my dad will come back an...

Re: Texas Lightning (2.18)
Just rewatched this one. If I remember correctly between season 6 and 7 the summer reruns were some best of Magnum episodes and this one was included. Does anyone else remember this? The commercial was Tom Selleck saying CBS asked him to pick his favorite episodes and he had darts with him? I may ha...

Re: Mac's Back (5.3)
Just rewatched this episode after listening to the magnum pi podcast (does anyone here listen to it? - while they are not 100% pro-Magnum as this site, they are pretty entertaining). I have a soft spot for any episode I remember watching on broadcast tv and this one fits the bill. I remember watchin...

Re: The Look (4.9)
I never knew about studios having their own covers of songs. From memory (I watched it a few weeks back). She's not there and yesterday were pretty close to the originals, Satisfaction was terrible. It is always hard to watch shows where they change the music (wkrp in the 90s syndication run coming ...

Re: Home From the Sea (4.1)
Interesting thoughts on this episode, of all the episodes this one is definitely my most watched. I had it on VHS (taped off of wor in new York) when it ran on reruns in the late 80s (6pm if I recall correctly) and it was always in heavy rotation at my house. I try to watch it each fourth of July, (...

Re: Almost Home (3.11)
Thanks all. Looking at her IMDb Kathleen Llyod was in a few films although mostly tv by the early 80s. My dad (older than magnum by about a decade) was a stickler for not wearing a hat at the dinner table, but not so much in the house. In the scene the hat coming off as soon as he stepped inside jum...

Re: Almost Home (3.11)
A few random questions. 1) magnum mentions his dad and that he was in the navy. How early was this established? In my head I always thought home from the sea (season 4) was the intro of his dad's story. 2) when entering the Japanese ladies house magnum removes his shoes and hat. Is this a custom/cou...

Re: Season 7 General Discussion
I think this season shows how much TV was changing through the 1980s. Magnum was reacting to Miami vice (which surprisingly was a top 30 show but not the huge hit I remember). Some very solid episodes and some big misses. Paper War is fun, the call back to the 4th of July in death and taxes, forty (...

Re: Transitions (8.11)
While not the best story - this episode stuck with me for the quote from his grand father (featured on the episode recap on this page). To paraphrase - Change is inevitable, it is almost always for the better, but the transition can be tough. He follows up later in the episode saying how you make th...

Re: Limbo (7.22)
This is definitely one of my favorites - I remember watching it live, it was in the time frame when magnum was on in syndication and still on CBS (it had moved to Wednesday night if I recall correctly). So I was logging 6 hours of magnum a week minimum. I thought it was the perfect wrap up to the sh...

Re: Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii (2) (1.2)
Thanks Ivan - I will keep an eye out for it. Unfortunately charge tv moved magnum reruns to 10pm instead of lunch time. It is really throwing off my work from home routine.

Re: Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii (2) (1.2)
Thanks - I will keep an eye out for it on rewatch. I guess they filmed around it most of the time.

Re: Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii (2) (1.2)
Hello Magnum-maniacs I have been catching some episodes of magnum on the charge! network and thought I would drop in to comment. Best parts - judge Reinhold with a short scene, Rick with An Uzi, Parts that did not age well - the lady drug dealer who was married at 12. Magnum walking into an airport ...
