Re: The Curse of the King Kamehameha Club (1.11)

I was very happy to catch MPI back on Hallmark Drama this weekend! I guess enough people complaining brought it over from Movies & Mysteries. Not that I can’t watch it elsewhere, but it became a routine after the lockdown 2 years ago, and I’m getting set in my ways in my advancing age!

Re: Lest We Forget (1.10)

I love the transition on the beach from 1984 to Magnum and the ferrari driving in. Can't help but smile. I was in Hawaii in 03 and visited Pearl Harbor. I ran back in to the gift shop as we were about to leave. I think the same path that Magnum runs to catch the escaping limo. Ever think about how ...

Re: L.A. (1) (7.1)

I remember when this episode was first aired and I hated Dana as the love interest. Fast forward 30 odd years and I enjoyed the episode and liked Dana. I could see the attraction but it becomes obvious to me that the relationship was doomed to fizzle. Even though she wasn’t a good prospect for a ser...

My favorite moment? Higgins driving up in that truck with a stogie in his mouth! Very believable.

Re: The Taking of Dick McWilliams (2.10)

I enjoyed reading the notes for this episode describing MPI as not another “muscle head “ 80’s detective show. That was why I didn’t start watching the show until about season 4, when I caught my then husband watching and got hooked myself. It wasn’t until 2020 that I caught the reruns and picked up...

Re: Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii (2) (1.2)

I just started my third rewatch of the pilot episode, and it is a shock to see Higgins in his original form! What I find amazing is how much I’ve turned into a Magnum junkie in this day and age. I watched the original run for about 3 seasons, starting around the end of 3, to just after the beginning...

Re:

Gah! It's edited poorly, the pace is uneven, the narrative wanders and plods along. What IS this episode about?! :evil: There's no focus on anything. Like Linda Lee Ellison, this episode makes me want to run out into the rain crying too. I feel your pain! I think the whole Linda Lee character could...

Re: Way of the Stalking Horse (6.17)

Another note on this episode - did anyone else think it was odd that Doc Eyebold could perform surgery? Maybe in am emergency but there had to be more qualified surgeons. There was a time I would have thought the same thing, but a life threatening surgical emergency taught me differently. General s...

Re: The Shorts!

JUst watched this episode. Started well but became quite boring with over the top characters (kind of reminds me of a matinee performance of a stage show where everyone is over acting). I did like some scenes such as the TC telling the vet that the dog works out a lot, and Selleck looked good in hi...

Re:

An astute Magnum fan just informed me that the Waikiki hotel used in this episode is the Marriott Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa, not the Ilikai! The curved balconies (along with the shape of the building) really give it away. Not quite sure why I thought it was the Ilikai! :? I also thought it was the...

It seems odd that they would have to buy a washer and dryer. They couldn't have just borrowed a set from a crew member, or a friend? I gladly would have offered up mine, forever immortalized on film. ;) From what I've heard from friends who work in the biz , there's a ton of this sort of illogical ...

Re: Old Acquaintance (6.3)

Other than agreeing that Goldie was a thoroughly irritating character the only thing I have to add is about the dolphins used by the navy. There is a huge area that you can drive by at the naval base in San Diego. A warning sign designated it as a Dolphin Research Research facility. The friend that ...
