Re: Ideas to Expand the Magnumverse?

Super points all. Hey Midnight, I think you ring very, very true. I wonder if some ideas for expanding something in the world of Magnum PI might make the best of the situation - say a show all about Higgins, maybe called "The Queen's Man." I only like to imagine. I am often very interested in the Ki...

Re: Any Magnum P.I. novels

Great idea about recreating Robin Masters' novels! Did we ever get to see a Robin Masters' book cover in the show?

Ideas to Expand the Magnumverse?

I fear that Universal has done such a good job sitting on and protecting their Magnum, PI rights over the years that we have missed a chance to see the show expand or return in any way. However, I was wondering what might be done if Universal loosened its Magnum, PI grip and allowed the world of Mag...

Re: My Magnum Story

Hey welcome aboard KB! I really enjoyed your post here. I didn't find it too lengthy at all. It really reminded me of how I came to fall for this Magnum TV show so hard. Born in 1973, I am old enough to have grown up in the eighties. I was in grade school and junior high when Magnum was on televisio...

Re: Passing of James Garner

I kinda mentioned this on another thread, but I'm jumping in here because I've enjoyed reading this one. I started watching the Rockford Files for the first time upon hearing of Mr. Garner's death - kinda sad that such a tv legend is lost. I am really enjoying the show. Love all the car chases - man...

Re: hi from the central north of Tasmania, Australia

Hi Sim!

Thrilled to hear that Higgins is your favorite character. He's my favorite character, by far, as well. It's Higgins that keeps me rewatching so many of the episodes. You'll really dig this site. Loaded with kind and smart people.

Re: R.I.P James Garner

I've started watching the Rockford Files for the first time. Was sad to hear of Mr. Garner's passing. But half way into the first season, I have to ask because I was only a wee baby when the first season started. Were there that many car chases in the 70's? I'm really enjoying the show.

Re: Theodore Calvin (TC) Sports Nut?

I remember Thomas and TC driving back from a tennis match in Season 1, Episode 13's "All Roads Lead to Floyd." TC brags that he bested Thomas on the tennis court, so maybe we should think of TC's character as the real athlete among the gang. And I have a feeling from watching the shows that Mr. Mosl...

Re: How effective were The Lads?

I thought some folks might get a kick out of a couple links that show what is called shutzhund dog sport, a dog training regime that includes practice in obedience, protection and tracking. My wife and I got involved with this several years ago with our German shepherds. I even get to dress up in th...

Re: The Robin Masters Estate (Pahonu)

Hey Duke, Thanks for sharing what you've learned concerning the estate. I understand that it's not easy, and that it's very expensive, to maintain such property, but it still feels sad that the property fell into such a state of disrepair. Even without the television history, that estate must've bee...

Hey Doc. I consider myself corrected. I see now that my statement was unfair. Once more, the forum helps me better appreciate what Magnum was all about.

Re: Why? Why did the series end?

I suspect that Tom Selleck's overall career goal was to become a top-tier movie star. I think Mr. Selleck really loved and appreciated his time on Magnum, but at some time, Mr. Selleck needed to use Magnum as a springboard into his larger career goal on the big screen. I recall that he attempted to ...

Ellery Queen on Hulu Plus

I dropped my cable and instead picked up Hulu - saving a ton of dough. Anyway, searching through the shows offered, I found Mr. Hillerman's face on a screenshot of an episode of a show called "Ellery Queen" after I typed "Vincent Price" in the search bar - lol. So, I've watched the opening movie to ...
