    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Thomas Sullivan Magnum IV (Tom Selleck) was a Vietnam War veteran. At the time, Vietnam and its aftermath were still controversial. Magnum, Theodore "T.C." Calvin (Roger E. Mosley), and Orville "Rick" Wright (Larry Manetti) have been cited as some of the first positive portrayals of Vietnam veterans on a network television series.
    • Goofs
      In many episodes, cars and uniform patches saying "state police" are shown. Hawaii is the only US State without a state police agency, but instead its law enforcement is performed by county governments.

    • Crazy credits
      Often the still photos in the closing credits are from outtakes...for example, characters can be seen laughing, or they are from a different angle than what was seen in the episode.
    • Alternate versions
      All episodes from the 1980-1981 season were altered for syndication. The original opening sequence and opening and closing themes were replaced by the more familar 1981-1988 opening sequence and opening and closing themes by Mike Post and Pete Carpenter.

    Sagging PI! Not!
    This show is a lotta fun, A and E started running it of late, and tossed in a Magnum Marathon New Years weekend. Very good! Love the 'Raiders' spoof episode, everything with Orson Welles making a cameo at the end(the Real Robin Masters, by the way..), Sinatra's guest starring role, TC and Rick, etc. Higgins was well played by a Texan if you can believe it too.

    They do NOT make them like this anymore-what is the closest you can think of? Nash Bridges? And even that isn't up to par compared with Magnum. Fine cast, great locale, humour, etc. by all means, watch this on A and E if you get the chance.

    *** outta ****, one of my faves from the '80s.

    FAQ6

    • In the first episode, Magnum was a Navy Lieutenant but in the final episode, he went back to the Navy as a Commander? Why?
    • Is Higgins really Robin Masters?
    • Does the supernatural exist in the Magnum universe?
