Also, Judge Reinhold had a bit part as a desk officer on the Naval base.

JR is a very underrated actor. I am suprised his career never went to the next level.

Don't watch it. Without exposure to them in the eighties, I think the twenty years ago shock would be too great. Like getting hit by a bus. I was once hit by a bus in Dublin.

Does this mean abomb will fall for the banana in the tailpipe?

I am afraid so. There is something about Eddie Murphy's Detroit Lions jacket. As soon as you see him in it, you are immune to the banana in the tailpipe.

Oh, and I forgot. The into music and opening scenes were 100% different in the pilot. The visuals were all seen through a moving cutout of the cross on Magnum's ring. Music was terrible...sort of bad jazz meets bad disco.

His own.

I thought this was common-knowledge. He's the owner/operator of Island Hoppers.

It just seemed weird to me... Helicopters are expensive to operate and he was always helping out Magnum, I just didn't get that whole thing

And he was always bitching about how Thomas never pitched in for gas money and the like.

I get the sense from re-watching the first few episodes that money was always pretty tight for TC, Magnum and to a lesser-degree, Rick. That's something I never really picked up on as a kid.

I need to rewatch the shows again. I hated Detective Tanaka when I was a kid, but I caught an episode last year on TBS and he was pretty funny

Rick was like a a playboy kinda guy, like he led on that he had money.... did he just use that to get chicks? Doesn't his stepfather have a part in later seasons?
