Episode 8 is the premiere of the Magnum PI theme music.
Loggia's character in Lost Highway is amazing. Tailgating is a serious problem.
In addition to playing Filipe the French special operator on Magnum's team in Nam, Loggia also directs two episodes in season one, ep 7 Never Again Never Again, and ep9 Missing In Action.

Never Again Never Again is a great episode, the lovely old Jewish couple turn out to be Nazis.

I was recently rewatching Diamonds Are Forever and LOLed at this one, surprised they could get away with it:
Girl: “Hi, I’m Plenty.”
Bond: “But of course you are.”
Girl: “Plenty O’Toole.”
Bond: “Named after your father perhaps?”
Yes. They were groundbreakers :D

I've just dug through my stepmother's effects and found the picture of her and Tom Selleck on set. Awesome.

She's looking hot, don't remember her being that young, she doesn't look out of place on Magnum's arm.

I'm not related to her, she's the girl my Da started dating and next thing you know, they were getting married.

She always said she fell for my father because he reminded her of Tom Selleck, which is tru, my Da was basically Tom Selleck with a full beard.

I think that's why I became such a fan, he does remind me of my father.

My Da wasn't a huge Magnum fan, but it was my favorite show so he would watch it with me.

One time I said he looked like Tom Selleck, my Da was like "thanks, son, that's quite the compliment!"

He was very Magnum like actually, same mix of oversized boy, but then could get serious in a flash and watch out then.

Beer, baseball, laughing and scratching, but if somebody presented as a threat, go time, the hockey enforcer came out of nowhere.

Even when we fought, it was like he was Magnum and I was Higgins, that's how we were too.

Smitty Magnum Higgins is real.

Alright, here we go, rewatching Season 3, Episode 1; "Did You See the Sunrise?"

Enter Ivan. This is the Magnum PI Opus.

Ivan played by Bo Svenson, who was a superstar in his own right.

Swedish American Marine Martial Arts Champion.

There are very few people I'll stay up past midnight to see.

William Holden is one of them.
