She's one of those celebrities I had forgotten was still alive until she died. I have to admit, I was never her biggest fan, the sort of breathless little girl persona well into mid-life and beyond, the raspy voice. Raspy voices, especially in people who sing, are like nails on chalkboard to me. If ...

I gave it about 3-4 episodes. Didn't make a conscious decision to stop watching, after the first episode, which I watched live, I waited to watch the others from DVR, and then they just started piling up on the DVR with me saying, "I'll catch up later", and never doing it. No great animosity against...

To make a decision I think you'd need to see him with the moustache and the shorter hair, instead of with that horrible wig that makes him look like he's about to say "Badges? I don't have to show you any stinking badges!" Whenever I hear that Treasure of the Sierra Madre quote, I always think of t...

I have been here for like 8 years. I was told on the FB page that Magnum used a kit car over a corvette and i said they where wrong, and that they used the 308, and Miami Vice used a corvette. After that i was banned. Wth! I didn´t want to start a storm. I thought one of the kit cars was a Fiero un...

Miami Vice was all the rage for 2-3 years right at the end of my elementary school/beginning of junior high years. It really was a cutlutral phenomenon. Every episode was practically a string of music videos (at the time when MTV still showed music videos), no guy at my school was wearing socks, and...

Is it smaller than the original ring so that MiniMagnum can still lift his tiny hand?

What’s funny is I’ve been talking a lot of Burn Notice as a contrast to the new Magnum, as generally better, but one thing I used to make fun of about Burn Notice was the pedantic over explanation in the voiceovers, always starting with “When you’re a spy...” or "when you're [insert spy activity her...

Hey Reef Monkey, I've read the same account. I'm glad you brought it up. My dad was a huge fan of the standards, including Frank, Dino, and his favorite, Nat King Cole. I heard them growing up all the time. How's the sailing with your daughter going? My son is so busy now as a high school junior, I...

I still think the problem is more with the thin-skinned individual. A comedian's job is to make people laugh and the audience respond by laughing. If the individual is uncomfortable then he can just choose not to watch or choose not to participate. Or in Sammy's case even come right out and talk to...

You mention "minstrel shows" and maybe you mean racial jokes in general. But I for one mourn the loss of racial jokes. Those were always the best! Of course this was when people knew how to laugh at themselves and didn't take this stuff personally or get easily offended. Or pretended they weren't o...

Most people aren't informed on Lee. He didn't agree with secession, slavery, or the war. He supported his home state when the war broke out. He was a military genius. Yet, since he was the Confederate general, he's vilified. It doesn't mean I don't believe that he was a saint or that society should...

The middle length looks good to me, too, and not just for a magnum costume, shorter shorts are actually back in (thankfully, after a few decades of awful baggy "shorts" that came down to the knees). There is a brand of shorts called "Chubbies" that are very popular with called age guys right now, th...

Thank you for your service. I'm not saying that PTSD triggers aren't there in Hawaii for the new Magnum, as you have said, PTSD triggers can be anywhere. And the original Magnum PI definitely dealt with PTSD. But there was more to Magnum's experience in Vietnam than the trauma of war, there was a co...

Is anyone else wondering about what sidearm New MiniMag will carry? https://i.imgur.com/wI4ryR6.jpg That's adorable - what is it? The styling kind of reminds me of a gun I own (given to me by my older brother when his wife made him get rid of his gun collection (I'm not a big gun guy, but my wife d...

Nah, without the Magnum branding, this would just come off as a spinoff of Hawaii-5-0, and too similar to it in style, , characters, etc, to survive. It would just look like an attempt to resurrect 80s-era private detective shows - Simon and Simon, Riptide, etc., a format that is pretty played out, ...
