Some nice make up on the dead Irish chap in this one.

Hilarious to see the pledge drive go from $53 to $55 in the last scene too :)
Make it two weeks.

:lol: Admittedly, someone dead six months, unless exceptional conditions preserved him, would look far worse than shown in the episode. :P

Some minor trivia: Samantha Eggar and Kenneth Mars previously guest-starred in the Columbo episode "The Bye-Bye Sky High I.Q. Murder Case", although they never interacted onscreen. :P

He didn't have any acts because none of the ones who showed up were any good. The fact that the paper made it sound like Magnum was the one in charge of choosing the acts attracted freak show type people instead of whatever Higgins had in mind for the benefit. As Higgins put it, "Your face is attracting the most unusual talent." :lol: So in the end it came down to Agatha reading poetry. I do wish a little more had been done with the denouement of the B plot in this one.

If it went extinct, it's all Magnum's fault.

I actually enjoyed the rerun of this episode far more than I remember the original airing. I can also very much appreciate the beauty of Samantha Eggar at about 45 years old far better now that I am in my sixties and not my thirties. I also liked the fact that there was a Higgins story going on at the same time as the Magnum investigation that causes conflicts between the two and adds comedy.

After watching this one again i asked myself why Magnum never wore the ballistic vest again. He had many more sketchy encounters where it would have been just as useful but he never wore it again.
That reminds me of the time....

Just saw the lead actress in a Star Trek episode.

Think it’s the first time I’ve ever seen her outside of Fragments.

That is all. That’s the post. :lol:
