Something I noticed that may (or may not!) have influenced events a few years later...
Magnum is trying to write Robin's book Die, And Die Again, and reads, "The desert storm engulfed us, dissecting our spirits with sabres of sand and chilling wind. And through the storm thundered the thousand sabres of Abdul Bend." And then, "The desert storm had us pinned down, and our spirits were low."
Each time, he says "desert storm" very deliberately and dramatically. This wouldn't have influenced the naming of Operation Desert Storm, would it? This episode aired on 10/14/1987, and Desert Storm commenced on 1/17/1991, of course preceded by Desert Shield on 8/7/1990. I wonder if the planners responsible for naming these operations were Magnum fans...

In-story, I took the repetition of Conga as Higgins having gotten a cassette single of it after having danced to it at the club. After that first time, every time we hear it is when he's driving the Ferrari.
Agreed about the candles, production would've soaked them in lighter fluid or something to move things along.
I also noticed that about the lads. I imagine the trainer would retire a dog every once in a while and put a trainee replacement to work. There were three Peteys in The Little Rascals, and... how many Benjis and Lassies?
