1980 TV Guide promo for the show

#1 Post by golfmobile »

Just found this on eBay. It's from the Fall Preview issue of 1980, where TV Guide promos the new shows coming up. Thought you all might get a kick out of seeing it -- before the show was a hit.

Thats really cool!

I found it kind of weird that they called out the ring like that, though.

Wow, awesome find golfmobile! A fun read.
Magnum had better make good. ABC's Barney Miller and NBC's Thursday-night movie are waiting for him - and not with leis and warm alohas.
and Magnum ate them for breakfast!

:wink:

But Barney Miller was a great show. We used to get here late at night, around 11.30 as I remember and I was hooked, even at the tender age of 15!

Still, your'e correct in saying that Magnum ate them for breakfast James.

Great post golfmobile. Like the others, I was surprised at the reference to the team ring. I was also surprised that there was no reference to Magnum being a Vietnam Vet. What was the date on the article? Was it September? Thanks for sharing that article.
