I don't know Doc, the integrity and character vibes run pretty strong here. I don't think we have to worry about people spoiling the game by looking up the answers. ;)

True, and that TOTALLY came out the wrong way.

Not that they would be DELIBERATELY searching, but if they were perusing the episode guides (as I am known to do), they might accidentally happen on the answer.

I try to go for episode specific themes, that are a bit below the surface.

Sorry guys (and gals) for the miscommunication!

Hey, no problem Doc! And what you are saying makes sense, too. ;)

Two-part themed question.

1) In the Luther Gillis episodes when they are imprisoned (I believe its "Luther Gillis File 521" and "The Return of Luther Gillis", what is Luther's pet name for their suicidal cellmate?

2) In the episode "A Little Bit of Luck, A Little Bit of Grief", what is the name of Magnum and TC's unrequested legal counsel while they are locked up?
No takers?

Hints for this one are going to be hard...

1) OK, the name is similar to a female hair accessory

2) He shares the first name with a character from "A Different World", the last name with a type of drink, and a little something extra after the end.

1. "Scrunge-O" (misspell?)
2. Dwayne Bailey, Esquire

Holy crap!

I totally missed that!


Sorry IH for not giving you the credit, and nice catch on your part Tral!

:oops:

I just saw James' post and though that was it.

You're up IH!

(Wow I feel dumb)

It's ok Doc. You're still probably a little shaken up by your surf rescue at Robin's Nest! ;)

And IH, you are the undisputed king of Magnum trivia my friend! I bow to your excellency!

Totally.

I figured Scrungo would be pretty easy, but the Dwayne Bailey, Esq. was a bit hard.

I have another one that I'll but out at a later date, that I'll bet IH will get too.

No worries Doc.

I appreciate the vote of confidence James, but I think Doc may be the King. Every time I think I post a tough question, Doc gets it immediately. But thanks anyway. :)

There are at least two episodes where we see a red Ferrari that is not supposed to be owned by Robin Masters. Name two episodes where we see a red Ferrari that is not owned by Robin Masters.

Hint: One of the episodes is not "Summer School" as the Ferrari in that episode is green.

Hint: In one of the episodes we see TC driving his team in his Island Hoppers van.

"J. Digger Doyle" is correct. Good guess on the "Jororo Farewell" episode, but not the episode I was thinking of. However, the other episode is from Season 4. It is the episode where TC is driving his baseball team in his van.

Did Carol Burnett drive one in 'A girl named Sue'?


Maybe not....

"Home From The Sea"

:wink:

Kinda unfair because I just saw it the other day.

And thanks for the compliment IH!

OK, when Magnum and TC first meet Icepick face-to-face, he expresses displeasure when they refer to him by that name.

What name does Icepick demand that they call him?

Right again Doc. :)

Tralfaz, why don't you ask a question along with Doc's, since you got part of the question correct also. I'm not sure if Carol Burnett drove a red Ferrari in "A Girl Named Sue." The other episode I was thinking of was "Home From The Sea." Tralfaz, you're up too.

Well, I will have to think of something....


While I am certainly not sure...I think she did. I seem to remember them both following the same set of clues one after the other and one Ferrari pulling in behind another.


Was there an exchange where he comments on hers saying something like 'Nice car, very subtle'... can't remember what she says, something about it being the same as hers and then he retorts with "Yes, but I got mine for free"

Ring a bell with anyone?
