The episode where TM wears the "bug mask" is episode 8.3 "Innocence...A Broad".

Not sure if it's the same episode where he goes "undercover" as an exterminator or not, but I do remember the scene.

He shows up at the house of somebody he's investigating to find the wife just arriving home from the grocery store.

He gives the spiel about being an exterminator, but gets turned down, then offers to help carry in the groceries and ends up getting to provide the bug service anyway.

He is spraying under the kitchen sink and trying to overhear the phone conversation of the wife, where she jots down a phone number that he believes could be useful, but the kids run through the room making too much noise, so after she (the wife) leaves the room, he quickly rifles through her purse where she has put the number she wrote down on a scrap of paper.

Would have to watch the episode to verify, but as I recall, he wore the mask when visiting Rick's place to startle Rick when he answered the door.

Guess we'll have to re-watch the entire series again to find out for sure! :lol:

You're thinking of "One Picture is Worth" I believe. I may be wrong, so don't let me stop you from rewatching the series from start to finish juts to be sure. ;)

I do believe you're right.

That was the first episode that came to mind for me as well, I haven't popped in to watch for verification, or looked on Youtube. The pictures section of the forum is where the "flyhead" info came from, but there is no picture or mention of TM posing as a bug killer in the "One Picture Is Worth" in the pitctures section or the episode description that I've found yet.

Ok, just did a quick search of the "episode" and the last line on the page is:

2 Magnum is seen spraying dangerous chemicals (under the sink), yet he is only wearing a simple dust mask, not the necessary respirator mask. (Noted by Tim)

Soooo.....there it is! :magnum:

If I remember correctly, TM shortly played the role of an inspector agent in "The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii" (Episode 1.8, Season 1) in order to save Algy the dog. He was wearing a brown jacket, white shirt and tie and some dark (sun)glasses.

Magnum: Of course I am.
Higgins: Even for you I find that just a trifle casual.
