I really enjoyed Burn Notice too! As far as a Magnum connection, I do agree that the friendship/team work vibe is very similar on both shows. The beautiful location and cool/unique living arraignments of the main characters are also very similar. I do think the narration is very different between th...

Just reading Larry Manetti to appear in an up coming Blue Bloods episode with Tom Selleck. It's a shame about the passing of our other classic MPI heroes. It would have been nice to have seen a full reunion. 😥 I came here to share the same news! Agree that it is bittersweet with only two of the fou...

I was very excited to see this, but then frankly a bit disappointed once I went to their webpage and saw the specs and execution. To me, it looks like a cheaply made Chinese knockoff of the real thing. I've been down that road before with the Apocalypse Now Captain Willard homage (Steeldive SD1970)...

This episode is one of my favorites from season 2. There is a point in the scene where Magnum goes to see Wendy and Dave at their condo where Dave comes over and stands by Magnum. I remember noticing that Dave is taller and thinking "wow, don't see that very often." Kind of cool that it came back as...

I have the US DVD set of Tour of Duty and it is a bummer that most of the original music isn't in the DVD. You can really tell in some scenes where that extra emotional punch is lacking. Also, picture quality is very poor in some of the episodes (Season 1 of Magnum PI is significantly better picture...

Thanks for sharing the Hodinkee article! My first watch was a Timex Ironman and I purchased this reissue from Todd Snyder a few years ago: https://www.gearpatrol.com/deals/a423121/timex-todd-snyder-ironman-watch-deal/ It's very similar to the watch I had, but I do wish it was a bit smaller like the ...

I can really relate to your comment about revisiting the show during the pandemic as an "escapist/unstress regimen." I have been watching one episode each weeknight after the kids are put to bed and it has become something I really look forward to (as lame as that may sound)! For me, the earlier sea...

For me, the Ironman subplot brings out the best parts of this episode. Higgins has a number of enjoyable moments: -turning the screws on Magnum to pressure him into competing -the mid race soliloquy on the origins of the word marathon -"you realize, of course, you have no chance of winning" causing ...

J "Digger" Doyle I really enjoyed this episode. A few notes: -My favorite episodes always seem to spotlight the "two" Magnums. The guy who doesn't take himself or anything too seriously vs the shrewd calculating operator. Both are on full display here. Magnum's carefree side is exploited by Digger t...

This thread is a wealth of information! Personally, I find myself drawn to the Chronosport, but the Rolex is a beautiful watch and I would love to own one. Nowadays, finding a Chronosport in great condition and agreeing on a "fair" price is much like negotiation with Higgins for wine cellar privileg...
