Re: Mad Buck Gibson (2.9)
Vera Miles sure is lovely. It's a shame she wasn't a redhead here like she was on Columbo (70s 'do aside), because she made for an amazing one.
Anyone else just retroactively consider Gillian Dobb's character here to be just Agatha hanging out with Higgins as usual? Back when she tried to stay as far away from Magnum and his friends as possible?

Re: Mad Buck Gibson (2.9)
She was gorgeous, but more importantly commanded the screen in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. My cougar before there was such a term.
Faith and Begorrah!
Re: Mad Buck Gibson (2.9)
Vera Miles was in the (awesome) first episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, "Revenge."
There is an amusing scene at the beginning where it appears that Aunt Bea from The Andy Griffith Show is checking her out while Vera is sunbathing.

Re: Mad Buck Gibson (2.9)
Running through the series again after a several year hiatus. This is one of those episodes I'm liking more the second go 'round. First was kinda meh, nothing special but for whatever reason I enjoyed it a lot more this time.
Two flubs, maybe:
1 - Since the show sometimes plays fast and loose with geography and time of day, maybe this isn't a flub. The final scene at the hang glider launch area, Buck comments more than once about it being a glorious morning. However, the actual location is on the east side of Oahu which would be facing sunrise. Yet the shadows, while appropriately long for "morning", are being cast to the east, the sun low in the west behind Buck and Magnum as they look east facing the ocean. Even the clouds in the distance are lit up on their western sides.
Only one of two possibilities ... they shot the scene late in the afternoon, or they used that bizarre coastline used in John Wayne's The Green Berets where the sun sets in the east.
2 - As Magnum in the Audi pursues Buck in the Ferrari, there are several shots from inside the Audi through the windshield where you can see that the rearview mirror has been removed. Several times you can see the "button" glued to the windshield that the mirror normally clips onto. After the crash, when magnum pulls up, you can see the mirror correctly in place.

Re: Mad Buck Gibson (2.9)
Hi karolis! Yes, those are TS's parents Martha and Robert Sr. The other one looks like a family photo and left to right in the back is Tom, Bob, Marti, Dan, mom Martha in front of them, with Robert Sr. down on the bottom right. I could have his brothers Bob & Dan reversed... hard to tell from that picture.
Re: Mad Buck Gibson (2.9)
Wow... i didn't expect such a detailed answer. I watched whole series last spring-summer but i don't remember that many family members introduced. At this time i only remember an episode about Thomas father.Rembrandt's Girl wrote: Hi karolis!

Either way, i didn't get into the details the first time i watched whole series, but is there any other TM's close fictional family member mentioned/shown in the series besides his father?
