Re: Netflix Streaming of Magnum P.I. Sucks - Technical post

I think you nailed it, it is a matter of personal preference, and people "getting used to it" - ie, our eyes have been trained to be used to the old visual experience, they will have to be trained to the new visual experience, directors will start shooting for that style and frame rate (some have al...

Re: Netflix Streaming of Magnum P.I. Sucks - Technical post

I dunno, I find something nostalgic about watching the show at the quality I would have watched it at back in the day. Personally, I am not a huge fan of HD, especially for shows and feature films not originally filmed to be viewed in HD. A director and a cinematographer plan their shots, the lighti...

Re: Seasons 1-4 are Superior to Seasons 5-8

Another pitfall of the aging show is "The Agenda".... Two shows that this is most apparent: M*A*S*H* and Quincy, ME. Both shows got to be full of themselves at some point, and it always seemed to be the cause of the week in the later seasons. Though I am and was a fan of both shows, I have little t...

Re: Seasons 1-4 are Superior to Seasons 5-8

Magnum debuted about a month before I turned 5, so I really don't remember Season 1 that well, I remember Season 2 a little better, but 1st grade (Season 3) is the first year I really remember being a big Magnum fan. I remember during 3rd grade (Season 5), thinking the show was darker and more serio...

Re: Magnum P.I. Quizzes @ FunTrivia.com

The question about Higgins admitting to be Robin Masters is confusing but he did admit to it and then denied it. So, regardless if he denied it, he admitted to it initially. Not so fast. Look at the exact wording of the question: "At the end of the final episode, Higgins admits finally that he is R...

Re: Magnum P.I. Quizzes @ FunTrivia.com

Missed one: Higgins admitting he is Robin Masters in the final scene of the show. I said no; quiz states he did. I think I am still correct. Fun, but way too easy! :magnum: I agree. Since the final thing he says is that he is not RM, assuming he isn't, his earlier statement that he was wasn't an ad...

Re: The Absolute Worst Episodes

I don't think LEgend of the Lost Art can really be counted as "bad" since it was intentionally made in a "wink wink" manner to Selleck's almost being Indiana Jones. Agreed. It was made for that purpose, and also it was a little lighthearted fun, a chance for the actors to have fun and the audience ...

Re: The Absolute Worst Episodes

Boy, that escalated quickly...I mean, that really got out of hand fast. It jumped up a notch. And Brick killed a guy. I personally agree with Conch, et al that there are no "horrid" episodes, only weaker ones. I disagree with Sisophous about Carol Burnett, growing up with Carol Burnett and Friends i...

Re: Six Degrees of Magnum P.I. (Game)

OK, can anyone link another one of my favourite actors, Andreas Katsulas, with Kathleen Lloyd? They were in an episode of Babylon 5 - The Deconstruction of Falling Stars together? Strong Star Trek theme in this game. I like it. Star Trek fan here too. Kirk, Spock, McCoy . Love those guys. If I get ...

Re: Insignificant recurring details...

Magnum originally sports Lacoste shirts. He then swaps forevermore to Polo Ralph Lauren. ...however when he's in the queue at the police station (I forget which season) and meets that 'alternative Magnum' (I forget his name right now) the alternative Mags is wearing Lacoste. I imagine the alternati...

connect Bruno Kirby to Jeff MacKay Bruno Kirby was in Sleepers with Dustin Hoffman Dustin Hoffman was in All The President's Men also with Jeff MacKay !
