Shirt #15 (No Need to Know (1.5)) V-neck twisted cable knit sweater in beige. https://i.ibb.co/4tszWYZ/Screen-Shot-2020-05-06-at-1-46-51-PM.png Of course, Magnum wears it without a shirt underneath. This could very well be a light shade of yellow. It's hard to tell if the tinting is just my screen....

Was David Norman based on John Derek? Found out about him recently, a former actor turned B-movie director with a preference for young blondes that he would promise to make famous, such as Ursula Andress, Linda Evans, and Bo Derek.

From 1991, supposedly.

Is Joe Hatten based on Wayne Huizenga? I feel like "millionaire trash-company entrepreneur" is very specific, but I don't know if there were others around at the time...

They never say, I don't think, but it is implied by the name that Old Dusseldorf was an altbier; anyone have any suggestions for altbiers to try?

They seem like they'd be a good match, as Rick had a thing for film noir when it wasn't cool, and Luther Gillis was the guy who made it a career. On the other hand, maybe it's fantasy vs. reality here... Were there any episodes where they spend any time together?

He wears the team ring, so I imagine that having Philippe kill Dan Cook and then Magnum kill Philippe must have been a lot to process for TC. Or are the events of the pilot not treated like something that happened? I want to say that occasionally someone will refer to Rick's old job before working a...

There's been a couple references, I think someone on the show is a fan.

Anyone else re-watching this episode in honor of the quarantine?

Magnum P.I. has a lot of humor in it, and I think the reason it aged so well is that it is funny but doesn't try to force it with a laugh track. A lot of other shows of its age were all about laugh tracks; any idea why they decided to skip it? Was it because it mixed comedy and drama within the same...

I found out recently that in 1979 there was a pilot made for an American version of the British show "Are You Being Served?" called Beane's of Boston; while it wasn't picked up, John Hillerman played the American version of Captain Peacock. Did Mr. Hillerman ever mention whether this experience or F...

-UDeItGakBA Magnum has a lot of really nice background music; is there any official way to get it, or has anyone unofficially tried to collect together the themes from different episodes? I came across this one from "Billy Joe Bob" where someone tried to do that, and thought it seemed like a nice e...

Just a little thought exercise. :) I'm thinking the technicality doesn't hold in court and Rick gets sent back to prison. Due to events there he stays a bit longer than expected. The show then becomes about him trying to figure out what happened in a Hawaii very different than the one he remembered,...

It looks like Magnum himself suspected this as well -- it was a major subplot in Season 7's "Paper War".

Magnum: "...not your entire past; nobody's that creative."

Anyone else wonder if Milton was a commentary on the obsessive Magnum P.I. fans (*cough*) that the cast and crew likely met whenever they went to events?
