35 years ago tomorrow, Magnum P.I. premiered! What fun it has been to watch and follow the show, even after all these years! Hawaiian shirts, mustache's, ball caps! So many things became so popular due to Magnum! And how popular Magnum still is! Just this group alone proves that. So tomorrow night at 8:00 pm( time it premiered here on the west coast) have a longneck, hot dog, pizza, popcorn, takeout,etc and enjoy watching Magnum!

Great idea and count me in! I just received the complete set of DVDs at the end of last week, (an early Christmas present for myself!) and I'm in the middle of season one. Thought my Magnum obsession would fade by now, but it only gets worse, or better, depending on how you look at it. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone, and everyone remember to catch a little Magnum!

I'll raise a longneck to that! 35 years! Wow!

And to that, here's the original MPI promo: "A special two-hour premiere, December 11th... And next Tuesday on the White Shadow..." :)

35 years and still going strong, viva Magnum :magnum:
Higgins: Magnum, you are clad only in your undershorts.
Magnum: Of course I am.
Higgins: Even for you I find that just a trifle casual.

Great premier!

I think the show will probably do ok.

Needs a hat rack in Magnum's quarters....maybe at the top of the stairs...just inside the door. :lol:
