Did You Know?
Trivia | Thomas Magnum was a Vietnam War Veteran. At the time, Vietnam and its aftermath were still controversial. Magnum, T.C. and Rick have been cited as some of the first positive portrayals of Vietnam Veterans on a network TV series. See more » |
Goofs | Despite being only a private detective, Magnum is involved in the deaths of at 15 people during the run of the series. Yet he never faces any criminal prosecution for this, even though at least three of these events were clearly cases of premeditated murder. See more » |
