In what episode did Magnum P.I. say this?

"I learned a long time ago about days when everything goes wrong. No matter what you do, when that happens, there's no sense in fighting it. In fact, the only thing to do is just kick back, close your eyes... and let the peace and quiet wash the rest of the day away."? Thanks

Hmmm. If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say Squeeze Play, Summer School or perhaps even Flashback.

Thanks for the response. I will try to look for a way to find out if one of them happen to contain it.

No problem!

If I were to hazard a guess it would be early Magnum, from Seasons 1-5 on a case that wasn't too strenuous for him. I can almost picture the scene in my head like he came back from a case, flopped down on the couch in the guest house and turned on the TV.

I'll keep looking for you, as I want to figure this out myself!

Me too! I see him pulling his cap down over his eyes ..... for some reason I think Billy Joe Bob is possible as well. Just when he thought he's done with someone difficult .......

I don't remember the specifics completely. I believe he started off sitting on the sofa and while his voice was saying the statement he began to lie back on the sofa and close his eyes for a few seconds, I think he was wearing a white shirt. So far still can't find anything.

Just saw that scene on a commercial on Cozi TV. Magnum first sips a bottle of bear. He is wearing a white short sleeve polo shirt, with a mini white sweater vest with a dark blue stripe on each side of the shoulders. One of those sleeveless sweater vests.

I think it was this episode: http://magnum-mania.com/Episodes/Season ... ubles.html
He was guarding a bitchy tennis player in the episode.

I think Stelth has it! I think it's right before he hears her crying in his bedroom.

Wardrobe makes sense, it's in the guesthouse like Conch and I thought.

I'm going to confirm this tonight, just to get it resolved.

Give me some time!

One of the more difficult mysteries solved by the able MM forum members. Well done! Now, if only you could get to the bottom of the Lady X affair!
