This is just so sad! Watching the re-runs, tapes, dvd's, it like they don't get any older! He's been a part of my life, longer than many of the people I know! RIP "Higgins".

RIP, John.
Not only one of the great characters in Magnum PI, but one of the great characters of TV in general. A brilliant decision to cast him as Higgins. Nobody else could have brought so much to the role.
Thank goodness for DVD and video. John Hillerman, you man have passed on, but for all of us, you will live for ever.

Higgy Baby is flipping out at this job description . . .
'Magnum, P.I.' Sidekick John Hillerman Dead at 84
http://www.tmz.com/2017/11/09/magnum-p- ... rman-dead/
Sidekick? . . . SIDEKICK?!? (insert Higgins voice)
They doubled down later in the article
"John Hillerman -- the co-star on "Magnum, P.I." who played Tom Selleck's condescending landlord -- has died." (emphasis mine)
Landlord? Who is he, Mr. Roper?

"How fiendishly deceptive of you Magnum. I could have sworn I was hearing the emasculation of a large rodent."
