Episode 79 The Return of Luther Gillis: Fun Fact Check

[TC'sCoPilot]

Hi Guys,


In the scene where JQH and Blanche are tied up, during Blanche's speech , while Higgins was using her hair pin to free his hands, she said " The Browns beat the Tigers." The Browns she is referring to are not the Cleveland Browns NFL football team but rather the St Louis Browns , American League baseball team.

On July 12, 1953 the St Louis Browns and the Detroit Tigers played a double header and the Browns lost the first game but won the second.

Blanche's story checks out! It is the research and writing like this that make Magnum P I the best show on TV ever.


Also there is a quirky moment from this episode is during the fight at the brothel. After the assailant tosses an end table , Magnum goes to throw a right hook but the other actor is not where he should be and T M "pulls the punch". At the beginning of this fight you can clearly see Tom Selleck's stunt double's face.

Long live Magnum, P I and thank you for this website.
