I have at last finished watching out the rest of the series. Many of the comments made by viewers and industry writers point out how the changes made in the cast and setting (to near Saigon in the show, and from HI to L.A. in the real world) affected the series in such a way as to hastening the end ...

TC character drinking a beer.

Had a re-look (pursuant to The Hotel Dick) at Straight and Narrow tonight. I enjoyed the episode for the several reasons mentioned above. I think two episodes with Candy Clark were just about right-- a third might have a bit over the top in my opinion. I like to imagine somewhere down the road that ...

Hi guys and happy new year to you also. I'll see your Old Dusseldorf and raise the stakes by a stout or maybe 2, well probably 4 if I am being honest. After all 'tis the season. :D If this card game goes into the wee hours, I have a draught proposal: Murphy's 2nd Law. If it's getting to be breakfas...

Wow! First topic ever (by a country mile) in this forum to hit 10,000 views without a single reply or comment.
Surely there must be a prize for that. (Sorry. Not much to do today. Must be a lockdown effect.)
Happy New Year everybody! (I hope.)

Decided today to have a relook at Innocence... A Broad . Haven't seen it in decades. I found there was some kind of irony when right at the end of the episode, Joe (the Garbageman) says to Higgins while walking around the estate, "If he ever wants to sell, this would make a hell of a landfill". That...

...food whose very presence might offend Americans such as fertilized bird eggs, where you eat the young chicken embryo, beak and feet and eyes and all. I passed on the chick in the egg, despite the old adage "when in Rome do as the Romans do". When I worked in the Gulf, I was told by other western...

There's some quibbling in there that reminds me of some grade school playground banter.
Time to break out the nightstick Thomas.

Thanks man. I’ve been meaning to watch this for some time. It’s on the watch list. In 2018 I posted some quick-and-dirty commentary of this in the TS Movies topic. Check here: http://magnum-mania.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=537&p=57158&hilit=chinese#p57158 Minimal spoilers (if that might worry a...

So, I projectile vomited at about the 10s mark of the first clip. Just another incidence of when I ask myself why did I do this? (And I will never do this again.) . It seems to have set up that this may likely be The Question for this series, however long it lasts. The equivalent of the real MPI's, ...

NEXT QUESTION: In one particular episode where Thomas breaks the fourth wall BIG-time, he is seen several times consuming a sobering elixir from what was then a very popular product. What specifically is the product and which episode are we referring to? Boy Steve-O, I can't wait till someone suppl...

Steve-O, Kiss of the Sabre is a good episode to get trivia questions from because I suspect most fans are like me and avoid watching it. . NEXT QUESTION: What Magnum actor appeared in a TV series as the owner of Mac's Bar? This series also featured another Magnum actor. In 1993, John Hillerman appe...

Hi Steve-0, It doesn't look like anyone is going to get this one, and the query is really bugging me as I can almost visualize it! Could you please reveal the answer? Thank you. Sure thing Dobie! On short notice to vacate the guesthouse so that Betty can use it, Thomas grabs several "survival" item...
