How old is the average Magnum Maniac?

[Styles Bitchley]

I'm 36 and I regularly get asked for ID when passing through the States. It feels so strange after living in a country where 16 is the legal age for buying beer and wine (18 for booze) and nobody would actually ask you for ID.

I know. It can be annoying at times.

But very advantageous at other times!

Just turned 56 Nov. 1st. Grew up here in Hawai'i watching them film Hawai'i 5-0 and later in the 80's Magnum. Many my age know of Magnum and of course, 5-0, but younger?! Fugedaboudit! In fact i would say each successive generation is proportionately less and less culturally literate. talk about drinking age and carding, I am still carded when i buy beer. It is a fixation with the local alcohol board. Their absurd stringent rules are ridiculous. Fer example; You can have a pitcher in front of you at a bar. AND a mug of beer. AND a shot of tequila. BUT! You can NOT have two green bottles in front of you. That is called stacking and a bartender can get fired and the bar, fined. Stew PEED!

Just joined the site, so thought this would do as my intro:)

31 year old Irish guy, big A-team fan. Always remembered magnum being on TV, and said i would eventually catch up with it on DVD.

Only about 4 years I really got into my retro stuff properly again, so I've just finished season 5 of the A-Team. Was gutted when i finished, knowing there was no more new episodes for me to see! So i decided I would go for magnum or knightrider, and i'm glad to say I've made the right choice with magnum, brilliant! The thing that i loved most about the a-team was the friendship between the guys, mainly face and murdoch, and knowing they are both great mates in real life also.

Although i had memories of tom selleck as magnum, i remembered nothing of the characters of rick and TC, so this is pure bonus for me. The 3 of them (and higgins) make for a great show. I'm 2 episodes into season 2 and loving it so far.

[J.J. Walters]

[Faceman]

Thanks guys!

Have to say, this a great site, packed with info and well laid laid out, good job JJ!

[Waterbug Blue]

Fully agree with the face man - have been following the site for awhile and bookmarked it to my computer - always something interesting in it to browse.

Early 40s still does it for me too ... turning 43 in a week or so.

ALOHA to all.

I'm 32 and I can remember my Dad watching it when I was little. I watched reruns of it n the 90's weekdays @5pm . I wasn't a super fan until
2007 when the seasons started being available on Dvd.

Well, if my memory serves me correct, I recall back in 1944 participating in a surfing competition (off the Moroccan Coast) organised by Regimental Sergeant Major Higgins. We used discarded airplane wings for surfboards. I must have been just 18 at the time so I guess that makes me 86!

33 years for me. I was still rocking Gi Joes and Transformers when the original run happened, but they started posting reruns my Sr Year of college, where I happened to have no classes while it was on. Second semester I planned my classes and workload around magnum. Those were the pre-DVR and TiVo days and I had to record it on a VCR.

33 years old, watched it with my dad, his favorite show and became my favorite show. My wife likes Magnum too and my kids like to watch it as well. Hope I pass the Magnum addiction on to them just like ny dad did for me.
