Magnum, P.I.	comment	Created by Donald P. Bellisario and Glen A. Larson and airing on CBS from 1980 to 1988, Magnum, P.I. seemed at first glance to be yet another Action Series show, using the old Hawaii Five-O production facilities in Hawaii, with a handsome lead actor talented in comedic schtick and the usual buddies helping him solve his case-of-the-week. But it soon revealed its more dramatic plot threads by alternating the comically-toned episodes with those concentrating on The Vietnam War background of Thomas Magnum and his friends. The concluding scene in the season three two-part premiere "Did You See the Sunrise?" was the key moment that illustrated Magnum's darker side. It remained the most unexpected and controversial scene of the series' entire run.These deeper character-developing episodes became fan favorites, and helped to spur the series to a five-year stay in the top-20 rated shows on television between 1981 and 1985. Also, both Tom Selleck (Magnum) and John Hillerman (Higgins) won multiple awards for their work.Magnum was assisted ably by his friends Theodore "T.C." Calvin and Orville "Rick" Wright, and alternately helped and hindered by Jonathan Quayle Higgins III, the manager of insanely wealthy best-selling author Robin Masters' estate where Magnum lived. Masters was only occasionally heard as The Voice of Orson Welles via telephone.Donald P. Bellisario (who unlike Larson had a lot to do with the series after the pilot) became known for his darker, almost fantastical overtones (see Quantum Leap), and they were introduced slowly into Magnum, P.I.'s storylines by way of prophetic dreams, psychic connections, and ghosts.In February 2018, a reboot of the series was announced with Jay Hernandez playing Thomas Magnum. This is the third remake Peter Lenkov has done for CBS and is included in the shared continuity with the 2010 version of Hawaii Five-0, and by extension with JAG and its spin offs (NCIS, NCIS: Los Angeles, NCIS: New Orleans), Scorpion and MacGyver (2016). It was cancelled in May 2022, but in the following June, NBC picked it up the series for a fifth and sixth season renewal.

"Well, I'm gonna go get a soda. Whatever you do, do not read the file on my desk while I'm gone, okay? Because it's classified, Thomas. I mean it. Do not read it, no matter what you do." Subverted with Carol in "One Picture is Worth", as she simply "drops" her case file onto the ground for Magnum to pick up and read. Det. Gordon Katsumoto of course does his John Wayne impression, tells Magnum he's going to take a 20 minute nap, and puts his hat over his eyes, allowing Magnum to leave the police station.

Magnum, P.I. / int_38b05ae7	comment	Poorly-Disguised Pilot: Erin Gray appeared in the first season episode "J. 'Digger' Doyle" as a security expert hired by Robin Masters to evaluate Magnum. It was supposed to lead to a spinoff series for Gray, but the series never came to pass. Season four's "The Return of Luther Gillis," dealing with an old-time St. Louis P.I. tangling with Magnum, was another show planned as a spinoff. Unlike "J. 'Digger' Doyle" above, however, Gillis did make several appearances as a Drop-In Character, as "Return" was a sequel to the same season's "Luther Gillis: File #521," the first of his five episodes. "Two Birds of a Feather" featured a fellow Vietnam War aviator who crashes into Robin Masters' tidal pool. According to the Magnum Mania website, "it was a 'backdoor pilot' for a potential TV series about treasure hunter and ace combat pilot Sam Hunter and his family. The Mike Post and Pete Carpenter score that is heard when Sam comes home (and in the closing credits) was to be used as the theme song. The pilot went unsold. After the pilot failed to attract any interest, Donald P. Bellisario took the bare bones of the concept and eventually developed it into Airwolf (1984-1986).

Magnum, P.I. / int_392372f9	comment	Actor Allusion: One episode is an Affectionate Parody of Raiders of the Lost Ark, a movie Tom Selleck was considered to do the lead in, but gave up to do this show instead. The opening dream flashback in "Tigers Fan" has a character talk about how "Jim [Rockford] was being driven nuts by this pain-in-the-butt named Lance White". Lance White was played on that show by Tom Selleck. In "Luther Gillis: File #001", Robin Masters leaves a message on Magnum's machine, telling him the personal access code needed for his next assignment's computer is "Rosebud". In "The Legacy of Garwood Huddle", John Ratzenberger's character has a friend named Norm. In "Italian Ice", Magnum chokes (and is later choked back by) the Marchese's bodyguard, played by Lenny Montana, whose most famous character was garroted to death. James Doohan plays a Scotsman (again) in "The Big Blow". "The Curse of the King Kamehameha Club": When Magnum first meets Sidney Dollinger (Lew Ayres), we hear audio from Sidney's television of the 1948 film State of the Union, which starred Ayres.

Magnum, P.I. / int_3da9eaea	comment	Raiders of the Lost Parody: "Kiss of the Sabre" features a guest star who is an author working on an adventure novel somewhere between Raiders and James Bond, using Magnum and friends as her inspiration. Doubles as Actor Allusion, since Tom Selleck was considered for the role of Indiana Jones but had to turn it down because he was already under contract for Magnum. This actually happens twice. In "Legend of the Lost Art", a notorious villain is a huge fan of the old movies that Raiders was derived from, and plans all his crimes using elements of said films. Magnum, again cast as the Indiana type character, plans his countermoves by drawing on his own memories of said films.

"Laura": Michael Doheny's granddaughter Laura is dead, but he's avenged her death by getting her murderers. "Way of the Stalking Horse": Magnum had been used as one to cause a man's death by hitman, but he kills said hitman at the end, saving the life of the street kid he had befriended. "Tigers Fan": Lieutenant Tanaka is murdered, but Magnum avenges him by catching his killers. "L.A.": Magnum has caught Marti Jensen's killers, but despite even proposing to new love Cynthia, she gets cold feet and chooses not to fly back to Hawaii with him.note Considering the number of episodes where Magnum reconnects with friends or adversaries, this may have been a setup for them to reunite. Fan interest may not have been high enough however. When she visits him in a later episode, he's working and they keep attempting and failing to be together. "Rapture": The ghost boy's stepfather, who confessed to blowing up him and his grandfather (the sole intended victim), has flown his plane away in an act of suicide, but the boy's mother finds peace and a new lease on life in knowing the truth, and now dives in the waters where Magnum saw the boy to stay close to her son. In one last dive there he found the necklace he'd seen the child wearing and gives it to the mother, clearly establishing to them that his visions were Real After All. "Little Girl Who": Even though Michelle has to leave Hawaii again with her daughter Lily, who has been in Magnum's care, Magnum realizes that Lily is his biological child. The girl even runs back to hug him, having grown fond of him from their time together.

Saul then dies of a heart attack, sparking Lena's Roaring Rampage of Revenge and Magnum having to shoot her dead. "Paradise Blues": T.C.'s old love Alexis Carter, having been kidnapped by the people chasing after her, perishes with them when their car plunges over a cliff. "Echoes of the Mind": Diane Dupres, despite Magnum's urging, commits suicide to free herself from her Split Personality Deidre. "Tran Quoc Jones": Not as tragic as the above examples, but the titular boy ends up right back on the street where he started, despite Magnum and his friends' best efforts to find his father. "Round and Around": It's discovered that Ron Pennington wasn't killed by any of the robbers, but by the elderly convenience store owner accidentally shooting him aiming for the robbers. "Limbo": Magnum is shot by Quang Ki, and for some time, he was intended to be dead.

Magnum, P.I. / int_77b03c0a	comment	Remember the New Guy?: Ron Pennington in "Round and Around" is said to be a close friend of T.C.'s, even though he only appears and is mentioned in this one episode. Most if not all of the series' Tragic One-Shot Characters fall under this trope. T.C.'s ex-wife and kids in "Missing Melody". Benny Travis in "Innocence... A Broad" is notable, given he's one of the series' few other P.I. characters, and only appears to serve Higgins a subpoena. The heroes actually get played by this in "Underworld". T.C. is in a coma in the hospital, where a man who looks something like him appears and introduces himself as Gerald, one of T.C.'s brothers. He seems to know personal details that cause everyone (the viewer included) to take for granted that he's who he says he is. When T.C. awakes, he says he has many brothers, but none are named Gerald.

Kidnapped along with her twin sister Deidre as young children, she was subjected to physical, mental, and sexual abuse during her captivity, so much so that Deidre died before they could be rescued. Ever since then, she had taken on a wild adult version of Deidre as a separate personality, as a result of severe Survivor Guilt and PTSD. She becomes so paranoid as "Deidre" that she murders her visiting psychiatrist without remembering it. Once Magnum figures all of this out, he pleads with her to surrender and get treatment to free herself from "Deidre" for good. Having switched constantly between her true self and "Deidre", Diane finally returns to herself, only to tearfully commit suicide in front of a horrified Magnum.

Considering that Laura eventually ends up murdered, you would think said babysitter would at least be mentioned again. Eric Tobin in "Missing in Action", who's been the target of both not-Buck Greene and Magnum's investigation, is shot by the former and falls into some water, but Magnum never once goes to pull him out of the water or check if he's alright, and by the episode's end it's never stated whether he's even alive or not. Even though Marcella Ziller had a hand in his supposed murder and Higgins had pretended to be him the whole episode, we never find out what's become of the real Elmo Ziller. In "Compulsion", Carol's dog Chelsea disappears. Thomas gives his phone number to all the radio stations and has them do PSAs. Later a DJ calls saying one of his listeners has brought Chelsea to the station. Thomas sends Rick to get her, but the episode ends abruptly without a tag after Carol's stalker is subdued. We never see them reunited or even confirm that the dog at the station is Chelsea.note This episode was made in 1985, four years before AVID/ PetTrac patented microchip technology and began implanting tiny RFID chips in companion animals. Microchips have identified pets that have been missing for over 18 years.

The actual series finale did end on a cliffhanger, albeit a much lighter-hearted one. Rick is getting married, but hesitates when it comes time for him to give his vow. Magnum, T.C., and Higgins all prompt him, "I do," and finally he opens his mouth and says, "I..." and the credits start rolling.

Magnum, P.I. / int_bb53d08	comment	Tear Jerker: in 'Home From The Sea' Magnum comes off his surf-ski and spends the rest of the episode treading water whilst his friends gradually work out that he is in trouble and come to rescue him. To keep himself going he recalls his naval aviator father teaching him to swim before leaving for the Korean War and the 8 year old Magnum still practicing on the beach when a car pulls up behind his mother and a naval officer gets out. Both Magnum and the audience think it is his father returning but in fact it is a chaplain coming to tell them he has been killed in action. The title comes from a Robert Louis Stevenson poem on death, "Here he lies, where he wishes to be, just like the sailor, home, from the sea". In season 6 Magnum returns home for his grandfather's funeral and reminisces with his cousin and childhood friends about his beloved half-brother, Joey Peterson. At the end of the episode Magnum visits the Vietnam War memorial in Washington DC and touches Joey's name, engraved on the Black Wall amongst all the other dead of the conflict. in the pilot 'Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii' Magnum is forced into a shootout with an old war buddy turned drug dealer whom he was forced to leave for dead in Vietnam. "You should have come back for me" the dying man declares after Magnum beats him to the draw. "I did come back" replies Magnum "But you weren't there any more".

The original theme had a Mannix-like "early '70s action hero" feel, while the Post-Carpenter theme features an early '80s style persistent rock obbligato like (the four-years-later) Miami Vice. Purists be warned—Universal subsequently took the trope to its logical conclusion by dubbing the Post-Carpenter theme onto syndicated prints of the pilot and the first nine regular episodes!

Magnum, P.I. / int_c2339e22	comment	Identifying the Body: In an episode where Rick's little sister comes for a visit, Magnum takes her out for an evening, where she proves to be not quite as sweet and innocent as Rick would like, and vanishes partway through the night. In the morning, Rick and Magnum go to file a missing person report, made rather difficult as they seem to be describing two different girls, but one of the officers has them come to the morgue, as there's a body that matches Magnum's description. After a commercial break, the two are driving home, as Magnum's Private Eye Monologue talks about how Rick hasn't said a word since they saw the body.

The Ferrari is blown up, T.C. is brainwashed and Magnum freaking kills someone. The next episode there is no mention of this, Magnum and T.C. are fine and the Ferrari is inexplicably back again.

Magnum, P.I. / int_f237981e	comment	The Alleged Car: In season five's "Blind Justice", when Higgins cuts Magnum off from using the Ferrari, Rick's friend Willie hooks him up with a red Jaguar E-Type convertible. Whilst the E-Type is one of the most iconic classic sports cars, as Sports Car International magazine named it the best sports car of the 1960s, Magnum's car, on the other hand, is a real lemon.

Magnum, P.I. / int_f64a9cf7	comment	Earn Your Happy Ending: Given their pasts, the whole main cast, but especially Magnum, and especially in season eight. In "Resolutions", still recovering from getting shot in "Limbo" and the entire Quang Ki saga, Magnum, in a mild depressive funk and growing dissatisfied with his business, accepts one last job from previous Girl of the Week Linda Lee Ellison (from "Forty"). Around this time, he figures out that his daughter Lily had actually survived the bombing that killed Michelle. Not only does he fight to see her, but when they're finally reunited, he finishes his last job and in the end re-enlists in the Navy to give her a more stable home.

In one last dive there he found the necklace he'd seen the child wearing and gives it to the mother, clearly establishing to them that his visions were Real After All.

He constantly owes them money (helicopter expenses, bar tabs, etc.), drags them into his cases to do assorted work, borrows their belongings (sometimes damaging or losing them in the process), and has a habit of not making good on promises or debts.
