Never mind, that's an old reference -- put "Magnum PI" into Google or Wikipedia and you'll understand...

God,I wish I had a moustache like that..the women ..the admiration of my peers..

Caught Magnum PI as a boy on Norwegian telly too.Much better than "Hunter" ( SF,Ca show -alot of jumping cars over the hills downtown SF)

That aside - what make you of the new Tom Selleck series ,Jesse Stone ?
I kinda enjoy the slight quirky ambience to it .

I have to differ with you on that -- Stefanie Kramer as Dee Dee McCall was not only smokin' hot, she kicked ass and was a crack shot, and was still very feminine. What guy could want anything more? To me, a woman who can take care of herself is a turn-on.

Works for me. Both shows were great. The 80's had the best shows ever.

True, also a tribute to NBC's success then was Brandon Tartikoff with hits like A-Team, Cosby Show and so on.

P.S. - All three networks had good shows though, I think NBC's star was the brightest then.

she was hot - but I just feel Magnum PI had more of a cool feel to it .
For what thats worth when considering its a 80s cop show....

Hunter tended to be more brutish than Magnum as far as I recall .

I think this side of the millenia shows are the best say for instance the wire -awesome imho.

Now - its been nigh on 25 years since I have seen an episode of either show ..I might not remember correctly .

Hunter was, but then again, he's not my type...

I'm with the "Hunter" > "Magnum PI" crowd, but I mostly watched "Hunter" because it was on Friday nights, right before "Miami Vice." My gang and I spent a lot of Friday nights gaming with those on the TV.

Until we got cable in the game room, and could watch MTV....

I also remember back then where NBC had "Friday Night Videos" (if your affiliate did not sign off for the night, remember that?) and USA Network had "Night Flight" that showed videos and cartoon shorts from aspiring animators. I remember watching "Jack Mac and Radboy" on "Night Flight," they were sort of like a 1980's version of "Beavis and Butt-Head."

I remember a show from way back when which, at the time, was better than Saturday Night Live -- it was called something like "Laff Tracks," or something like that.
