Re: The Case of Higgins Being Robin Masters

As far as the Magnum PI world usage of the word “Realm,” please take a look at “ Letter to a Dutchess,” the season four episode when Vivian Brock Jones, Lady Wilkerson, the Duchess of Whitt, reappears in Higgins’ life. Around 30 minutes into the show, as Higgins sits, sipping brandy being terribly ...

Re: The Case of Higgins Being Robin Masters

I realize this is a very old post, but I want to point out an interesting inconsistency that I discovered today. Higgins tells Blanche Raferty, Luther Gillis’ secretary, that “While the Higgins lineage is decidedly distinguished, it is not of the Realm.” This happens as they are tied up near the en...

Re: Hello Old Friends.

Just finished reading rumors regarding a Magnum PI reboot in 2025 or 2026. I do miss the original Magnum/Selleck model and could never watch the most recent remake. No TS-No Magnum. As many have, I too had written a script for his comeback decades later. Of course, he's older, but so am I so seeing...

Re: It Got By The Censor/In Jokes

There’s a Wild,Wild West episode with Alan Hale where he tells West he wants to go on vacation to deserted island. Jim Backus was also in the episode. Hi Pahonu, Right you are, the episode was "Night of the Sabatini Death"(1969). Hale played a federal agent who dreams of a desert isle while in the ...

Re: Thank Heaven for Little Girls and Big Ones Too (1.4)

Does TC say Saigon Suzy’s or the singular Suzy. https://i.imgur.com/u8q5vLDl.png It's funny, I guess I was being naive, but I always assumed Saigon Suzie's was just a bar. I guess I watched too much Walton's in the 70s. Yes but for all we know, would be writer John Boy wound up covering the war in ...

Re: Mannix

I was watching "The Ten Commandments" (1956) on ABC last week and while deep diving in the credits noted they listed Clint "Cheyenne" Walker and one Touch Connors. Touch of course being Mike Connors, playing an Amalekite herder, Walker the Sardinian captain of the guard. I just reread this entire M...

Re: The Andy Griffith Show

I would also add Hawaii Five-O into the Andy-verse! After all, Big Chicken first tried to rob the Mayberry Bank and then later ran into the Taylors when they visited Hollywood. After that, Big Chick set sail for Hawaii where he got entrenched in the drug and hippie scene, spouting off cool and hip ...

Re: Infinity and Jelly Doughnuts (8.1)

In this episode, while Thomas is rehabbing at the VA, Rick mentions that he has picked up three movies for them to watch (presumably to get try to get TM away from obsessing about trying to recover his memories of the shooting): Stalag 17, A Thousand Clowns, and the Magnificent Seven.

Re: The John Hillerman Thread

We made a big fuss about American crime cinema of 1973 (including the fact that was the 50th anniversary of the, as I said argued in this article, very overrated The Long Goodbye). But, actually, 1974 wasn’t too shabby either. In addition to the heavy hitters that year - The Conversation, Chinatown...

Re: 40th Anniversary Watch Party

Couldn't help but think, they should have reworked the plot so that the rabbi was still in the car when it exploded, and then in Season 7, Thomas spots a rabbi that looks just like him with a fake Torah in Waikiki. I loved France Nuyen in this one. Too bad she wasn't in more episodes. Come to think...

Good catch fellas. I am not surprised, they recycled locations as well, such as Robin's Nest itself, it must have been in 5 or 6 Hawaii Five-O's at least.
