Magnum Mania!

One of my hobbies is collecting old TV commercials, specifically ones from the 80's. I've collected waayyy more old VHS tapes than I'd like to count, and I've ran through them in my spare time looking for 'good' ads. Naturally, Magnum promos are considered near the top of the heap, and while I haven't had spectacular luck, I have a couple I thought I'd share:

This first one is from a CBS airing, though it must have been a repeat, as it was airing on Saturday (MPI always had the regular Thursday slot, correct?). Someone refresh my memory, what episode is this? I know I've seen it.

This next one isn't for an episode, but rather it's a short (very short) promo for late-night syndicated airings (this hails from 1988). Despite the fact it's so short, this ad came from a tape from my childhood, and I must've watched it a 1000 times back then. Therefore, this is my earliest introduction to MPI, and trust me, it's ingrained in my memory.

This one is also pretty short, and is for USA's airings in the early-90's I believe this is from 1993 or 1994. The Higgins impression gets me everytime!

Like I said, nothing too fantastic, but I thought someone might get a kick out of them!

That's from Season 3's episode "Ki'ls don't lie" that was the Simon & Simon tie -in. Nice to see some of that old stuff, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing

Sorry Stephen, that promo clip was from All Thieves On Deck. Season 6

Ah, that makes sense. The tape that was found on was from much later than when "Ki'ls...". I was thinking they just rebroadcast it much later for some reason.
