My guide shows it's back on COZI on 11/3. It's also running on Telexito if su habla espanol.
Hi Guys,
I find it's sometimes good to take a break from my favorite TV series or movies. If you become too familiar with them the "magic" is soon gone. I have been skipping over
many of the most dramatic Magnum episodes on COZI for that reason. While not a great episode - I forgot it's name - the one where at the end Rick and TC
witness the woman tossed to her death, for me that is one of the great TV moments of the 1980's and I don't want it to become so familiar that I'm looking to see
if I can spot a boom mic or the reflection of the film crew in the scene.
I'm still happy COZI will soon start up with Magnum again, I can watch the Luther Gillis and most other episodes over and over.
Just an aside, but on reflection maybe the episode I mentioned above was deliberately understated till that amazing end bit with the woman's death so that it would
be even more effective. I STILL recall when it was first run on CBS, staring at the screen in horror when she was tossed over. Rarely has a TV scene been so impactful.
Then again maybe it's just me.

What happens in Vegas, er, Al's, stays in Al's:
Higgins and Luther enter Al's Country Bar and Billiard Den disguised as Texans Elmo Ziller and his sidekick Hubert. They invite two barflies to play pool.
Dexter: "Ain't got no quarters. You got any quarters Artie?"
Artie: "Nope. Sure don't Dexter. I got no quarters since last Thursday when that feller and his monkey came through."
Dexter: "Yeah, the sucker sure could dance."
