I had the Ferrari 308 GTS model maybe 20 years ago. Sorry, but it's long gone. It was average in terms of models, I thought. The body was molded in red, but I painted it anyway. It made it look nicer painted. Ironically, I never had TC's VW vanagon model, and now I have a 22 year old camper version ...

If memory serves me, I think Magnum wore the type of shirt you describe in the episode Ghost Writer . Pink, I believe. It might be easier to see the pocket with the lighter color. I had exactly that type of shirt in the mid-eighties in navy blue. I had never heard of the term "kangaroo pocket" but i...

That's where I'm coming from James! Thanks for the links.

Hey Sam, The woman in the bottom screencap is the scientist I remember McGarrett talking to by the seawall. It is not a lath house and couldn't be from the 30's as you mentioned. I think you're right though. This structure probably was built for this episode as it was not in any earlier shots of the...

Neat shot Sam. I remembered there was something different on the seawall side from that episode. Didn't McGarrett, disguised as a scientist, meet secretively with a woman scientist in the scene? I don't think this is the lath house indicated on the property tax records. A lath house is basically a s...

Any screen caps?

It is indeed a "reboot" as they say in the industry. The general premise and characters are similar, but it is not an extension of the original.

It's not "His Weapon Cat". There's no "L" in that.

Clue: Rick's place

I think Jack Lord's McGarrett was supposed to have been a Korean War vet, not unlike another popular PI, Jim Rockford!
