Things I learned from Magnum PI

[RJMasters]

What if anything did you learn by watching Magnum PI?

I learned the castling manouver in the game of chess from watching Higgins and Magnum play in "Who is Don Luis Higgins..."

I had never heard of it before then. My father never castled when we played chess back then. For a while I even thought it was something the writer's made up until I looked it up at the library.

1) Nothing in life is as valuable as those close to you. Always, ALWAYS be loyal to them.
2) All a man has in life is his honor.
3) Live with humor in your life.
4) Sometimes the bad guys win, but you don't have to make it easy for them.

We're talking about various wars in history and Higgins' tales have helped there. Also I've got some good movie recommendations from TM

Artie Canoe, I love that, you chose the name of a character that only those who know the show would get, AND you spelled it the way Luther pronounced it. Welcome.

I can say my love of helicopters came from Magnum P.I. when I was a kid. The show called, "Airwolf" was cool, too!

Hawaiian Shirts can be cool worn with a pair of jeans. Not the image of the shirt pre-Magnum where it was worn by 1950's era Dad's at backyard barbeques. You know the guy, Brylcreem hair, horn rimmed glasses and drinking something like a Rob Roy or a Gimlet........

1) Having your own style is cool
2) As long as I work out I can eat all the Fig Newtons and drink all the beer I want

I learned about the mow mow uprising. I had never heard of that before and found it very interesting.

I would have to say that history lessons, life lessons and relationships were most prevalent in the theme of the Magnum episodes. I remember the Mau Mau Rebellion, as it was sometimes known (yeah, I'm THAT old!) because we studied it in grade school under "current events". I also remember when the Berlin wall was built because I had to do a report on it, and when Alaska and Hawaii were NOT states!

I've learned that being as charming as possible, when dealing with a unpleasant person or situation, will actually get me out of trouble. Works with the police, neighbors, the department chairperson......
