Higgins is wanting to take the Ferrari somewhere and Magnum opposes and tells Higgins that it takes a strong hand to drive the Ferrari...or something like that. Anyway, I think Higgins has an accident in the car.

Anyone????

Oh man, I just saw that one recently. That's the one where Magnum visits him in the hospital and is holding flowers handed to him by a nurse. Higgins thinks Thomas brought them for him, the usual ensues . . . right?

I'm betting it's Forty Years from Sand Island.

Thanks guys. I can't wait to see this episode again. It only comes on one channel where I live, so it will probably be awhile before it comes on again....but I have made note of the episode.

Keep an eye out for the "runaway wheelchair" scene!

It was those kinds of episodes that really made MPI stand out from it's competition. I really think they got away from those episodes from season 5 and on.

I agree Coops. Not saying 5-8 are terrible, but I think seasons 1-4 are superb! 7-8 are the weakest seasons in my opinion, but a weak Magnum is still better than almost anything out there.

Hell, a weak MPI blows away a 'strong' CSI:Miami.

I don't about you guys but everytime Horatio's smug mug comes on I just want to beat the **** out of it. Talk about the 180 degree opposite of TM!

I'm trying to watch them in order, but I haven't gotten through with seaon 3 completely yet. (I know, what have I been doing with my time?)

Anyway, since my wife's gotten into him, I have been trying to go straight through and enjoy the "Magnum-verse" in order. The Hungarian acrobats, the first "you're Robin Masters", the evolution of TM, the whole thing, in context.

I'm hoping I don't see a big drop-off as it goes on.

I'm doing the same thing Conch. Right now I'm on season 6 and I don't see the quality that was there during the first 4 seasons. Some really bad ones here.

My husband and I have been going through the seasons in order. 1 through 4 are stronger than 5 through 7 (as far as we have gotten).

It seems to be easier to get distracted in the later seasons. I found it helps to read the posting on the episode on Magnum-Mania before viewing the episode. Even if it doesn't look like a great episode, knowing all the strange little bits makes it better.

If MPI isn't better than what's on TV now, we wouldn't be watching, right??

I'm going through my 4th go-round of viewing them in order, and am midway through Season 4. "Red Faced Thespian" is next.

Season 4 is the apex for me. Season 5 is so-so, and I generally have to DRAG myself through Season 6. Season 7 gets MUCH better and 8 is pretty good too.

My faves are seasons 2,3,4...

I have to agree that seasons 5-7 lose a lot of the magic that the first 4 seasons have.

However, I did really enjoy these episodes.

Season 5

NONE

Season 6

Summer School....really enjoyed it.
Who is Don Luis Higgins...really enjoyed it.
The Kona Winds.....somewhat enjoyed it.

Season 7

Novel Connection....great episode, but strange how the killer was so
well known

Little Girl Who...pretty good.

Death and Taxes....absolutely fabulous episode.."You can't win
Magnum."

Kapu....pretty good.

Death of the flowers....really good.

Paper War......good except all the Higgins is Robin Masters talk.

Season 5 - none??? I thought Echos Of The Mind I & II and Mac's Back were awesome!
