Btw, this inspired me to go watch a Smucker's ad:

(I couldn't figure out how to ad the youtube video here)

Mason had such a gentle voice. And this ad is hilarious!

I LOVE Lou Grant. I didn't know it was on the Family Channel (or Network, not sure if they are different, and I hope I get them!)... American Life TV was playing Lou with Trapper John every Wednesday and it was my mid-week treat. Then they changed their format and I was left without. I do catch it e...

I really love LA. It's a lot of fun and moving in parts. I love Dana Delany and I always thought she seemed right for Magnum. I loved the one when she comes to visit him. I always feel bad that their timing was off. As a whole, this is probably one of my favorite episodes of the series (in the top 2...

Just heard the theme song for Riptide for the first time in forever. I didn't recognize it at all; totally wiped it out of my memory. I quite like it, especially the great Beach Boys-esque bridge. It also has a hint of Jimmy Buffet "gulf and western" to it. Another fine Post/Carpenter piece of musi...

My fiance likes the show, but hasn't seen too much of it. He'll watch it with me and enjoys it, but he's not close to being as obsessed. He is really good at letting me dive into my obsession because it makes me happy. He listens to me go on and on about some of the episodes and how much I love the ...

I watched the show as a kid during its original run and really enjoyed it. About five or so seasons in, I was in high school and they started re-running the show daily, so when I'd come home I'd watch it. Then one day, and I don't remember the day or why, I was hooked. I started to memorize the epis...

Awww, thanks so much! That means a lot!

So, I was checking out some IMDB credits recently and I came across this guy, Jim Reynolds (Frank LaRue). The guy is apparently a porn "star" who goes by the stage name "R.J. Reynolds"! It's not every day that you see porn "stars" in your favorite TV show! He also had a small role in "Past Tense". ...

This episode is memorable to me for a couple of reasons, but one in particular. When Magnum finally happens upon the actress and he's explaining what is going on, they use the word "lover" over and over again. I don't remember the exact dialogue, but it's absolutely hilarious. I always wanted to mak...

I agree completely with Agatha's review. This is indeed a sweet episode and you really get a feel for what a good guy TM is. I haven't seen this one in forever, but I recently pulled out my Season One DVD set, so I think I'll give it a spin soon. I love being able to watch these over and over again ...

Ack! My fiance was at Comic-con! We didn't know. Also Dirk Benedict was there and we didn't know that either! I would have gone! However, he did get Jim Kelly from Enter the Dragon to talk to me on the phone. No. Joke. I coulda died. I'm a big Larry fan. Back in the late 80s I crushed pretty hard on...

Eugene Roche is a favorite actor of mine. I remember him on SOAP, Webster and in a TV movie called the Possessed, but will always love him most as Luther. Wow, just amazing. And on that note, Sheree North who played his girlfriend is also a favorite of mine! They just don't make 'em like that anymore!

Nice blog. It looks like you are quite the tv aficionado. Thanks for stopping by! I'm a big fan of Retro TV. Right now I'm on a HUGE Dallas kick (finally up to Season 9!), and I don't watch enough new stuff. It's amazing how I can watch Magnum over and over again. I don't even do that with the X-Fi...

Amanda, thanks for the cool story on Roger! I can't believe he is on Facebook. I know there are a few Magnum pages on Facebook, but nothing as great as this site. I agree! I'm new here, but am loving all the threads and the main page with all kinds of info. I have loved this show for as long as I c...

Hi Amanda,welcome to the forum.In case you haven't seen Rick's blog,here is more info on Gillian. http://magnumdecorator.blogspot.com/2008/10/agathas-living-room-set.html Wow, that was wonderful, THANK YOU! She does seem a bit like an enigma, but now there's some pieces to the story. I'm still very...
