Any Chance Any Twin Peaks Fans Out There?

I've returned to one of my favorite shows. Been watching Twin Peaks again on Hulu. I watched just snippets when it aired in '90 and '91 when I was a junior in high school. I watched it really for the first time about ten years ago, and I'm watching it again now to prepare for a new season coming bac...

Re: Questions for Don Bellisario

It's the end of September as I type this post. I'm curious to know how things may have gone. Did you get to sit down with Bellisario? Is your interview available anywhere? I would sure like to read it if it is. I'm just curious for a bit of an update to see how things might've gone. Thanks!

Re: Talk to which one of the Big 4?

I have to say that I would want to sit down with Higgins. I just love that character. I bet he has stories of adventures he shared with absolutely everyone, no matter if any of it really happened. I'm sure he'd have stories about times he shared with Rudyard Kipling, George Orwell, Winston Churchill...

Re: My Lawsuit for MAGNUM Sequel with Lily

Oh my. Oh my. I will say that when I typed out four scripts based on an idea that Magnum could go with his daughter Lily in the main role that I did so with a complete understanding that Universal owned all rights to Magnum, and that what I did was just for fun and to hopefully provide a little ente...

Re: BREAKING - Magnum returning as a TV series, but . . .

I will probably try to post a little more when I have a bit more time than I do this morning, but after reading the link, I'm curious as to who will play Lily. Eva Longoria is mentioned as the producer, not as the actress filling Lily's part. I'm kinda glad to see that, because I don't know if Eva's...

Re: Magnum on Blu Ray!

I like to hope that the folks putting a blue-ray set together might take the time to really put something special together to celebrate a release on blue-ray. Seems it would be a great opportunity to gather the cast together as best as possible to offer a little commentary and reflection about the s...

Good point Styles! Maybe I forced myself to forget Two Birds of a Feather. That one didn't really fly. Ok, other than that one. :higgins:

Re: Best Magnum Writer?

Bellisario wins the vote pretty easily in my book. Bell seemed to write episodes with more of an international and espionage flare to them that gave Magnum an exotic kind of feel. I always thought his plots were more nuanced, and his characters more interesting. "Lest We Forget" is by far my favorit...

Re: Did Magnum have an alcohol problem?

I never felt like Magnum had a drinking problem while I was watching any of these episodes. However, this thread has gotten me to think a little bit about the Magnum we never really got to know very well through the show. I'm thinking of the Magnum that returns immediately after the war, and I wonde...

Re: You Can't Do That On Television

That brings back so many memories. One of the first shows my brother and I watched when cable came into our home. I remember twisting the plastic cable box dial to Nickelodeon to tune into the program. Was this also the one with the green slime?

Re: Tales of the Gold Monkey

The first couple posts on this strand have really covered my sense after watching the complete episodes of TOTGM. I loved the premise - the late 1930's just before the outbreak of WWII, a time that Indiana Jones so well visited for its adventure. I love the idea of the characters, and the sea plane ...

Re: The ROCK to play Magnum PI?!??!?

Man, the folks in creative control just don't get anything about being creative. Sounds like the execs are just looking to bank on the flash of a title like Magnum PI and on the nickname "The Rock." Doubt many of them have ever watched more than the opening credits of Magnum PI. Like in just about e...

Re: TV series finales

I just watched the finale to Quantum Leap for the first time. I just loved it. I thought it pulled off a bit of a magic trick by closing just enough of the story while leaving just enough out their for fans and viewers' imagination as well. Both sad and joyous all at the same time. A really subtle e...

Re: Of Sound Mind (3.13)

I didn't have the time this morning to really sift through this thread, but does anyone mention if that rock band at the masquerade ball has a name? Probably not, seeing that the band's just kinda likely thrown together for the episode, if the folks moving around on that stage can play any kind of i...

Re: MACGYVER RE-IMAGINED?

Everyone on the team who envisioned relaunching Macgyver as young, twenty-year old something with cute hair to appeal to the teeny-boppers should be drawn and quartered. That first idea for a new MacGyver is everything that's wrong with today's lazy and cheap entertainment industry. And, it's offici...
