I watched the Pilot again today probably the 8th or 9th time from start to finish, I noticed something today though I hadn't before. Magnum never wears a baseball cap he wears a navy dress uniform cap and a beret in the flashback scenes but never wears a baseball cap, and on top of that the hat rack...

Fig Newtons were mentioned by name in Season 8's "Unfinished Business", they were on Magnums Shopping list and Higgins reads it aloud.

J. Digger for sure and the pilot episode.

I would like to speculate that during the first season and maybe the second the actors were adjusting to stage names vs real names. It happens all the time, actors mix up each others names and even their own. Tom Selleck goes by Tom and I'm sure on set it was a hard habit to break. I'm sure there ar...

Just picked up the jungle bird and orchid designs myself. The material is light spandex poly blend very comfortable. Its only screen printed to one side so the inside of the shirt is white the sleeves and pocket are also not matched to the design. All in all they are neat because they are Magnum PI ...

Going through a series re-watch and two episodes he introduces him self as "Tom "Magnum". "Lest we forget" and "Curse of the King Kam Club".

I get the emotional feeling but soldiers are soldiers, it's their leaders mostly to blame. I disagree. Soldiers are soldiers when they engage other soldiers. But when they shoot artillery into residential areas and purposely target civilians they are no longer soldiers. They are war criminals. And ...

IMHO Taylor was a very simple revenge driven character. We cannot discredit the fact that he was willing to let Higgins die in order to fulfill his revenge fantasy though. Magnum was revenge driven several times in the series to the point of Murder but we don't call him crazy or deranged because he ...

BUMP :lol: No new episode was aired: Repeat March 11, 1982 [CBS 8:00] Magnum, P.I. Billy Joe Bob Season 2, episode 1 A hot-headed Texan comes to Hawaii and hires Magnum to find his sister, who was a nightclub singer before going missing. (Repeat program, originally aired 10/8/1981) I saw this again...

There’s a more recent conversation on the episode starting near the bottom of the page here: [...] Most there seem to agree it was a season 2 clunker although watching now I’m noticing how good the Higgins scenes are - back on my first watch of MPI I was mainly looking out for the Ferrari and the b...

Watched this episode again last night and something stuck with me, would Magnum really have thrown his bag over the wall with Robin's camera in it?! :shock: Obviously it wasn't damaged but I find it hard to believe he would've tossed it like that. The second thing I noticed was when TM pulls up in t...

Season 8 episode "Innocence... A Broad" Magnum gets paid $600 a day to let Rita tag along on his investigation. That is over $1000 in todays dollars.

I tend to agree, Higgins acted like he didn't want TM there but he actually enjoyed the nuisance. He lived vicariously through him. I have watched the series several times through and I still think Higgins was the one writing the novels for Robin.

I would say the appeal of being ones own boss was the major factor for him choosing private detective work but his Navy experience was definitely a part of it. Sleuthing around was part of his personality. He also wanted to "make it big" on the islands. TM could have had a way better paying job doin...

How bout the little boy with an all day sucker?? haha I always think of the LaSalle sisters when I here someone called "Tommy". For me its a formal vs informal thing. My name is Christopher but i go by Chris, if I sign my name though its Christopher.
