Magnum Mania!

Good morning Maniacs!

I thought you all would appreciate this article about Selleck commemorating Blue Bloods matching Magnum PI's 163 episodes.

Working with his longtime friend Doug Turnbull on designing a tasteful tribute to matching the run of Magnum P.I., Mr. Selleck said, “When Magnum ended with 163 episodes, I thought it might be nice to have a memento of those years spent with my friends from the cast and crew. I asked the custom shop at Colt to commission a set of three pistols, Magnum 1 (1911A1), Magnum 2 (Combat Officers ACP) and & Magnum 3 (Mustang .380), all in a beautiful oak and leather case lined with billiard green felt.

That's the first I've heard of this. Thanks for sharing Conch.

Same here . . . 30 years later and we're still learning something new!

Good read. Not only have I followed his career through MPI but also Blue Bloods and his movies as well. Not many actors hold my appreciation as he does. Not many at all.

I really came to appreciate him after going through my Magnum DVDs once or twice. I watch the Jesse Stone movies when I find one available to me, but have only otherwise seen him in a few movies (Three Men & a Baby comes to mind) and Blue Bloods. Maybe I should look for others as well.

That mirrors how I see him now. Every week, sometime during the Blue Bloods episode, I pause the video and exclaim to my wife "This is the same guy who played Thomas Magnum!" She probably expects that by now.

His western movies are pretty good. His comedies are good, Folks was great but OOP on DVD and expensive. There are 9 Jesse Stone movies, I have them all and really like them.
