I liked this episode...Saigon Suzy is likely a prostitute, or could be the Madame. There is usually someone like her overseas where ever GIs are. There is a Songtan Sally that operates a business outside of Osan AB in Korea. She is legendary...locals sell t-shirts with her picture on it and her famous pick up line...."You wanna go?". She has a knack for finding the fresh meat, Airmen new to the area.

In this episode we can listen at various Christmas tunes, for example at about 5 minutes there is one, possibly 'Hark! The Herald Angels Sing'? Then in the airport sequence beginning at about 44'45'' until about 47'15'', it's very difficult to listen to the music which overlaps with the dialogue, maybe 'O Holy Night' or 'It Came Upon the Midnight Clear'?

Watching this episode last week, I realized that "these five urchins" are in their mid-to-late 50's now.

Wow, that really underlines its been 40 years! I always thought those kids were adorable - they reminded me of my nieces - especially when they interacted with Hillerman and called him "Huggins".
Now they could audition for the role of Agatha if there was yet another Magnum PI remake.

I was just messing with you, I figured that would elicit a response.
But a properly done theatrical release with a proper cast, crafted by people who loved Classic Magnum, could work.
I am having problems imaging any current movie star in the role.
Selleck in a cameo as a tourist would be nice, Dan Ackroyd as Luther Gillis, Fran Drescher as Agatha, Dwayne Johnson as TC, Bill Murray as Robin, for Rick a much harder edged actor
actually from Chi-Town, Rowan Atkinson as Higgins, maybe lure back a retired Jack Nicholson as Ice Pick as he looks the part now.

Sandy Mason(John Larch) in the Route 66 episode "Go Read The River":
"Somewhere, somehow a beautiful thing, a simple morality, a single set of standards was shattered, and now what's good for a man may not be good for his company, and what's good for
his company may not be good for his country, and what's good for his country may not be good for his world."
