@@WillCamx On some odd level I agree with you. They were better off titling it the adventures of Dude Guy or something. I like Jay Hernandez and he's good in the role, however Naming it magnum hurt the perception of the show.
It helped that they were all actually good friends offscreen. Selleck and Mosley had worked together before in a movie and Manetti and Mosley shared an apartment during the first season.
I was saddened to hear that John Hillerman died.He played an Englishman so well that I actually thought he was from England, but he was from Texas.Much like Daniel Davis from The Nanny who is from Texas as well.

I actually met him (Tom) and didn't know who he was. I had never heard of him. Our unit had moved onto Halieva Beach in the middle of the night. They were filming a scene from the first episode of Magnum the next morning there. Long story short our helecopters came flying over them during a sunrise beach scene. I went to use a pay phone to tell my girlfriend i would be gone another day. Tom was on the phone. After he got off the phone we talked and he told me about the upcomming series. Ran into him again a few weeks later at a bar in Honolulu. My roommate a girl about freaked when I introduced him to her. All she could say was "You know Tom Selleck?" He's a really nice down to earth guy, who took time out of his busy day to talk to a soldier.
I never met him but my mom and I use to go to the same Cherry/fruit stand that he did (in the San Jose, Ca. area). In fact the owner of the place had a picture of him self with Tom Selleck that was taken at that same location. I think that I remember that the man said Tom & his mother would go there from time to time over the years; even after he became a big hit on Magnum P.I. he would go there on occasion to buy some of fantastic cherries and dried fruit that was sold there. I really miss those cherries, they were the best that I've ever eaten.
except for the Apartheid hahaha 😅Our government did buy most of these shows for us. Some were dubbed. We loved Airwolf, MacGyver, Hardcastle and McCormic, Knight Rider, Street Hawk, Magnum. The parents would watch Dallas and Twin Peaks.
jee I think you are right... if I think about how many hours I spent with one of my best friend, in front of the TV, watching one series after the other until when all their tunes were etched in my brain forever... there is nothing like that nowadays I think
@@LindaStenmanSvensson-ef4jk hmm...I can't recall if it was in English but many shows were dubbed. We also had many shows from Germany, which had a better relationship with the government I think. Another quirk was watching a show with the TV on mute while listening to the Simulcast on the Radio. Spiderman was aired in Setswana for example while Radio 2000 had the English.
My parents mistakenly found themselves on site of a Magnum P.I. shooting location when they were holidaying in Hawaii. Tom Selleck was very gracious and agreed to a photo shoot with them. They said he was very kind and pleasant towards them. Wish I knew where that photo was now. It was nice to know that he was a good guy off camera.
He was also wicked generous. He would buy his co-stars amazing gifts every year when he was paid. Plus he also passed over numerous great films because of his commitment to the show. He turned down Indiana Jones hence the episode: The Lost “Art”
Tom has a lot of fondness for the show but joked Magnum rarely won a case, seldom got the girl & if he did she was forgotten about next week & TCs copter worked with an elastic band.!
I know a cameraman from the show and he said Selleck was a real stand up guy. Not pretentious at all. Would eat lunch with everyone else as just one of the guys.
Knight Rider was very popular back then but when I watch that show now in 2021 it's so cheap and simplistic. The Dukes of Hazard the same....only racing cars, dumb television. But Magnum, Cheers, The Cosby Show, Who's the Boss, Golden Girls, Growing Pains, Full House and all those lovely old stuff is really nice and most of the time very good acting, realistic and interesting
Ah, 80's TV shows! A rare and fast vehicle - may it be a car, truck, helicopter, motorbike or bionic implants - a maskuline character who acts from a moral high ground but somewhat independently, some friends who help him, and a rich guy or private organisation in the background that finances everything and of course a catchy intro theme. You just have to love it!
Jay is a complete charisma vacuum of an actor. And I never grew up with the original show so it's not like I'm nostalgia blind. I wish they put in the same effort that they put into the Hawaii Five-0 remake. THATS how you remake a show
It was always cool when the lead actor of a show would look at the camera and smile, wink or give a thumbs up during the credits as if to say "hey, thanks for watching my show"
Magnum PI was an awesome show. Tom Selleck was a beautiful man in his day. I grew up on the show and have the DVD collection. It was a campy but fun show to watch. John Hillerman was the best part of the show. Love Higgins....
My favourite Higgins moment was an episode where Higgins had a Japanese ceremonial dagger. The show ends with him taking out the dagger and Magnum says "you know that your ceremonial dagger by tradition once taken out has to draw blood?" Higgins smiles and says evilly "I know!" and runs after Magnum and Rick.
Ironically, the new one doesn't have one... Oh and he's Mexican, by blood, and his Mom's name is ISIS :O What a shit show :D Love Mexicans, and i'm not American, thank fuck for that! :) Just figured i would nail that to a wall... Oh shit, no pun intended ;)
@@T.R.R.Jolkien I barely remember the original episodes. I watched it when I was a kid. However, I don't like the new one; way different than the original and worse
So glad I was an 80s kid. Awesome TV show theme songs, “playing outside,” Star Wars action figures, hair metal and hot hair metal video girls, the fall of the Soviet Union, and especially... no fucking social media. Those were some great times. So good luck kids of today. You’re gonna need it.
Well, you can pretend you live in the 80's; wear those clothes, watch that 80's televison shows, listen to that music.......comes pretty close hey :-) I do it daily and I don care for 2021!
straight outta Toronto actually it was a 308 GTS in the intro, then later a 308 GTSi was the basic car in the series. The series never did have tthe 328, which was introduced in 1985. Both the 308 and the 328 share the same base body designs, but each a different front bumper, the 308 a black front bumper, the 328 a red front bumper with recessive front headlights.
Shadmock 1969 yes, the license plate was '56E-478' in the two-parter pilot movie, then changed to ROBIN 1 in the third and first regular season episode of 'China Doll', which thereafter will remain for the rest of the duration in the series. Though, the original license plate will remain to be seen on every intro opening of the show itself, as Magnum peels out in a controlled slide in the Ferrari. There was once an explanation what the numbers and one letter meant, but that answer could not be found.
Shadmock 1969 I am born and raised in Hawaii, bradda... Grew up on watching the show as a young kid, had the good privilege to watch the production filming on location here on O'ahu... Even had a chance at casting call for a part in the final season show. Alas, my debut never made it past the cutting floor room, as another extra was favored over me because he was more 'thuggish' looking... Auwe!
Shadmock 1969 are you quizzing me? To see if I am a hardcore Magnum Pi fan? I didn't ask for this, I just have general knowledge I believe every fan has of the show... Truthfully, by the top of my head, I can guess 2 cast member stands out I can recall: first, that be Higgins, in an episode that had to do with a deaf woman who was being hunted down by killer thugs who found out she was a witness to their bank robbery. Second, the nephew of Robin Masters, who wants to be a Pi, so he somewhat dresses like Magnum, drives a green GTS QV, then taking on Thomas' 'gig' as him. As an addition, another episode that has a cast member trying to pass off as Magnum, is Rick driving the Ferrari, but as a decoy to distract the Feds to give Thomas time to rescue a ballerina and TC from an aggressive foreign agency... Ok, that's all I can remember... For now.
Back when shows were great to watch, had you tuning in every week. Shows like Magnum PI, Knight Rider, The A Team, Hawaii Five 0, The Twilight Zone, Mission Impossible, the list goes on and on. Not only were they great shows but they had great theme songs for them. That will play in your head all day when you hear them.
Classic show,not graphic,don't need to see everybody get killed,blood everywhere,each character in this show contributed alot always interesting plot,no over the top BS,no dead weight characters,just episodes that kept you glued to your seat!!!
Well i never saw this show, but we have a choppa diving overflying the sea, tom selleck loading a gun, a car exploding... All while a badass funky guitar riff plays in background, so it was probably epic.
That bit at 0:17 when he looks straight at the camera always made my heart skip a beat. I've just watched it again and it had exactly the same effect. I'm 55 now!
So sad to learn that Roger E. Mosley is gone. Magnum PI was part of my childhood and so was he. Roger was also good in McQ with John Wayne and Unlawful Entry with Ray Liotta. Thank you so much sir for sharing your talent with us and may you rest in heaven. Deepest thoughts and prayers to your loved ones.
Buongiorno,ancora adesso lo rivedo in t.v,non so quante volte..ma non stanca mai.Un telefilm dove ti immedesimavi nei personaggi ,dove venivi ammaliato dalle nobili frasi di Higgins... non esistevano parolacce e la violenza era limitata e sopraffatta dalle gesta di Magnum
loved this show, got hooked on it after a few seasons, greatly miss John Hillerman and Roger Mosley, it was the last TV show I watched on a regular basis, can't stand what is on TV now
fus149 Hammer In an interview back then in the 80's John said he received fan mail from Great Britain, and people congratulating him saying: "Great to have a British actor on the American Telly! Good show!" John replied: "Thank you... But I have a confession to make..."
I lived in Honolulu from 1986 to the summer of 1989. One afternoon I was at a crosswalk downtown waiting for the light and Tom Selleck and his double pulled up to the red light in the Ferrari. Pretty wild.
0:15 - 0:21 has to be the most amazing 6 seconds of the opening of any TV show ever! To me the essence of great 1980's television and some of the happiest memories of my childhood.
![[HiFi] Jan Hammer - Sonny Crockett's Theme (Miami Vice Theme)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/wFOEubKzyQA/mqdefault.jpg)

That guitar riff is insane. God I love the 80s.
I'm with you. Step into my space shuttle and we flash back 4-ever to the 80's; who's with me? :-)
If you like that, then listen to the original Shaft tv show intro.
Yes it is!

My favorite TV show back in the Day.
Mine too.
HighSpeedNoDrag my dad LOVED this show. He used to watch it a lot
Me too!!!
Compared to 2020, I'd miss any time I've been alive.
The chemistry between the actors in that show was perfect.
It helped that they were all actually good friends offscreen. Selleck and Mosley had worked together before in a movie and Manetti and Mosley shared an apartment during the first season.
Same reason Starsky & Hutch worked well too. The chemistry between the two cops and Huggy was great.
I was saddened to hear that John Hillerman died.He played an Englishman so well that I actually thought he was from England, but he was from Texas.Much like Daniel Davis from The Nanny who is from Texas as well.
I liked Higgins and his rambling stories that made Magnum hang his head, wondering when he would finish!

A rare and fast vehicle - may it be a car, truck, helicopter, motorbike or bionic implants - a maskuline character who acts from a moral high ground but somewhat independently, some friends who help him, and a rich guy or private organisation in the background that finances everything and of course a catchy intro theme.

@@yvonnemariane2265 on itv4 I think about 4.00pm was on be Ron newcastle uk
The era of the most epic theme tunes. We had the best 😁
The new version will never be able to live up to Tom Selleck’s excellence and moustache ❤️
Modern Magnum PI mustache is like a puberty mustache...1980s Magnum PI is a MANLY mustache
Ironically, the new one doesn't have one... Oh and he's Mexican, by blood, and his Mom's name is ISIS :O What a shit show :D Love Mexicans, and i'm not American, thank fuck for that! :) Just figured i would nail that to a wall... Oh shit, no pun intended ;)
@@Sryzo how would you know? You didn’t grow up with the old...
@@T.R.R.Jolkien I barely remember the original episodes. I watched it when I was a kid. However, I don't like the new one; way different than the original and worse
This is the most 80’s intro i have ever seen
You say that like it's a bad thing.
Obviously you didn't grow up in the eighties. Have you seen the A Team intro??
WarriorPhilosopher1 Or Airwolf
Miami Vice intro!
Or Duke's of Hazard intro
So glad I was an 80s kid. Awesome TV show theme songs, “playing outside,” Star Wars action figures, hair metal and hot hair metal video girls, the fall of the Soviet Union, and especially... no fucking social media. Those were some great times. So good luck kids of today. You’re gonna need it.
Well said!
i am 51 and i wish i could go back to the time of this magnificent show...so much better than the rubbish of nowadays.
In high school 1980 to 1984....Don't know what you got till it is very far away and you cannot have it back.
Only in your memories and not really in reality......
Stop idealizing the past or your younger years. Open up to being happy NOW.
@@jeanlundi2141 Have a nice day!
Awesome era ...the 80’s were so fabulously awesome
I grew up wishing I could hang out with Magnum and live his lifestyle. I still do.
Well, you can pretend you live in the 80's; wear those clothes, watch that 80's televison shows, listen to that music.......comes pretty close hey :-) I do it daily and I don care for 2021!
I gained a mustache and got a Hawaiian shirt at the ready!
Its badass time!
One of the best opening tunes to a tv show!❤
Yeah perhaps but what about "The Fall Guy" Intro though Bro? That was a TOP show!
Apologies I must go before before I start to rhyme 😂❤ love to all
Peter Gunn, Hawaii Five-0, Airwolf. It’s hard to pick a favorite.
Profesión danger
Rest in peace Roger Mosley / TC 🙏
Just watched this intro with my pet tiger, now we both have mustaches. Damn you 80s!!!!
Holy shit, I suddenly have a full grown moustache after watching this.
gutz1981 and my nan!
gutz1981 try growing up as well
my detroit tigers cap fused to my scalp permanently after I listened to this while wearing it
gutz1981 cool
gutz1981 I grew one out of protest to the nee Mgnum not having one. Balony
Classic Selleck signature at the end with the double brow raise. He really was one cool dude. Love this theme and music. Fun show.
I also loved Magnum's head-drop when he realized that things had gotten out of his control.
As a kid my favorite part of this intro was when magnum peels out in that red ferrari 328 gt..and it still is.
straight outta Toronto actually it was a 308 GTS in the intro, then later a 308 GTSi was the basic car in the series. The series never did have tthe 328, which was introduced in 1985. Both the 308 and the 328 share the same base body designs, but each a different front bumper, the 308 a black front bumper, the 328 a red front bumper with recessive front headlights.
Shadmock 1969 yes, the license plate was '56E-478' in the two-parter pilot movie, then changed to ROBIN 1 in the third and first regular season episode of 'China Doll', which thereafter will remain for the rest of the duration in the series. Though, the original license plate will remain to be seen on every intro opening of the show itself, as Magnum peels out in a controlled slide in the Ferrari. There was once an explanation what the numbers and one letter meant, but that answer could not be found.
Shadmock 1969 I am born and raised in Hawaii, bradda... Grew up on watching the show as a young kid, had the good privilege to watch the production filming on location here on O'ahu... Even had a chance at casting call for a part in the final season show. Alas, my debut never made it past the cutting floor room, as another extra was favored over me because he was more 'thuggish' looking... Auwe!
Shadmock 1969 are you quizzing me? To see if I am a hardcore Magnum Pi fan? I didn't ask for this, I just have general knowledge I believe every fan has of the show... Truthfully, by the top of my head, I can guess 2 cast member stands out I can recall: first, that be Higgins, in an episode that had to do with a deaf woman who was being hunted down by killer thugs who found out she was a witness to their bank robbery. Second, the nephew of Robin Masters, who wants to be a Pi, so he somewhat dresses like Magnum, drives a green GTS QV, then taking on Thomas' 'gig' as him. As an addition, another episode that has a cast member trying to pass off as Magnum, is Rick driving the Ferrari, but as a decoy to distract the Feds to give Thomas time to rescue a ballerina and TC from an aggressive foreign agency... Ok, that's all I can remember... For now.
We used to call a Magnum.
Mike Post. The godfather of themesongs.
Even the lead guitar in this intro has a moustache!
Back when shows were great to watch, had you tuning in every week. Shows like Magnum PI, Knight Rider, The A Team, Hawaii Five 0, The Twilight Zone, Mission Impossible, the list goes on and on. Not only were they great shows but they had great theme songs for them. That will play in your head all day when you hear them.
dont forget mash and allo allo
MacGyver,Airwolf,Knight Rider,Starman
get off my lawn, you kids!
oh hell yeah, I so miss every show like this and A-team and knight rider it was the best shows ever
@@sainte3443 Get a life you sad little thing.
As a kid I idolised Magnum, the whole Ferrari scene and his moustache ha ha. Long live the 80s shows.
Back to these golden days
Classic show,not graphic,don't need to see everybody get killed,blood everywhere,each character in this show contributed alot always interesting plot,no over the top BS,no dead weight characters,just episodes that kept you glued to your seat!!!
I just waited for the occasional, "I know what you're thinking...and you're right.....!"
Purée mais comment a-t-on fait pour régresser autant.. la simplicité de l'époque faisait tout son charme
merde ça vieillit tout ça! tape à l'oeil, à fuir!
@gillesguenno j'ai n'ai pas compris
A timeless TV series and theme song! Tom Selleck IS Magnum P.I.! This show is awesome!
😍
I will forever be grateful that my dad introduced me to this show
1980s was the best decade for TV, movies, and music.
80S! GOD I MISS IT
yeassssshhh
My first crush! I love the look he gives the camera when he's in the Ferrari! Oh my word! 😸❤❤❤
The original MAGNUM P.I TV series is the best ever ! The modern version sucks ; where are Tom Selleck and Higgins nowadays !?!!!!
This should be the intro to every television show and movie made, regardless of whether or not they are about Magnum.
Well said , 100% agree
RIP Higgy Baby
Magnum: the women wanted to be with him, and the guys wanted to be him.
Now women want to be him and men want to be with him, ahhhhhhhhhhh………
I still want to be him 40 years later.
@@andrewhogan6533 - LMAO, spot on buddy ! Sad times.
@@andrewhogan6533 i was about to write that LOL
but first said for Cary Grant!
This theme song is amazing. And that guitar riff…ooh. Miss the 80’s!!
🥝
34 years old. Kind of sad but I've watched the entire series, 8 seasons, 162 episodes, 6 times now. Best show ever. A different time.
What a guy.
This intro is all testosterone
Not much left in the world.........
+Slayers Gaming - Completely agree... Feminist will have a tit fest if a similar show were on TV now!
The theme is quite catchy, too.
rick santos A tit fest? lol
Slayers Gaming All testosterone. So....?! 😂🤗😉
Magnum PI and Miami Vice - my 2 most favorite opening themes! BUT - Don Johnson is the LOVE OF MY LIFE!!!
The 80's was the best in TV ! Take us back
Well i never saw this show, but we have a choppa diving overflying the sea, tom selleck loading a gun, a car exploding... All while a badass funky guitar riff plays in background, so it was probably epic.
It was. Dunno how well it holds up today, but if you were male and grew up through the 80's, this series is iconic.
I loved this show. Couldn't miss a episode. The 80's was good. My son was born! I love the end when he raises his eyebrows!!
That bit at 0:17 when he looks straight at the camera always made my heart skip a beat. I've just watched it again and it had exactly the same effect. I'm 55 now!
So sad to learn that Roger E. Mosley is gone. Magnum PI was part of my childhood and so was he. Roger was also good in McQ with John Wayne and Unlawful Entry with Ray Liotta.
Thank you so much sir for sharing your talent with us and may you rest in heaven.
Deepest thoughts and prayers to your loved ones.
⤴
Ray’s gone now too 😢
I Love Tom Selleck for all Time, the True Magnum !
Grew up on Oahu......was in college when this was on all the time.....damn the good ole days!
This Jam made you run to the tele
Give me goose bumps when i hear the intro song. Bring back memories magnum p.i
Hell of a show. Man, I miss those old school TV shows. Watching these shows was just as good as playing outside with all of the neighborhood kids. 😎
the 308 GTS is still such a masterpiece
Buongiorno,ancora adesso lo rivedo in t.v,non so quante volte..ma non stanca mai.Un telefilm dove ti immedesimavi nei personaggi ,dove venivi ammaliato dalle nobili frasi di Higgins... non esistevano parolacce e la violenza era limitata e sopraffatta dalle gesta di Magnum
there has never been and there will never be a greater theme song, its flawless
loved this show, got hooked on it after a few seasons, greatly miss John Hillerman and Roger Mosley, it was the last TV show I watched on a regular basis, can't stand what is on TV now
RIP John Hillerman (aka Higgins)
Hillerman had a strong Texan accent. He learnt to speak like Higgins from watching Laurence Oliver videos!
Musical Neptunian love this anecdote.

fus149 Hammer In an interview back then in the 80's John said he received fan mail from Great Britain, and people congratulating him saying: "Great to have a British actor on the American Telly! Good show!" John replied: "Thank you... But I have a confession to make..."
I lived in Honolulu from 1986 to the summer of 1989. One afternoon I was at a crosswalk downtown waiting for the light and Tom Selleck and his double pulled up to the red light in the Ferrari. Pretty wild.
Used to love this show. Always got the impression that the actors had a lot of fun making it too.
@@AJNoon Said a Marx Brother impersonator.
@@AJNoon Dude, you're reading text, that Russian accent is in your head only. lol
Still one of my favorites of all time
Stu Olsen tom selleck is handsome
My aunt is so in love with him.
Stu Olsen he had that affect on women
christopher coleman , BOY, DID HE, EVER!! WHEN, MEN WERE, REALLY, MEN, NOT LIKE, TODAY. WISHY WASHY. 😂 REALLY SAD.
0:15 - 0:21 has to be the most amazing 6 seconds of the opening of any TV show ever! To me the essence of great 1980's television and some of the happiest memories of my childhood.
Hey like your name say ...guess what? Is time to make the dishwash so shhh and make your job woman!!!!
I prefer back up on yo grandma
i think the same! Ferrari, hot girls and 80's. i think this is paradise!
@@money6699 f*** off, knobhead. And if you're going to try and be clever, time make improve job your Engrish lol
@@HeresTheGenZFlorentineFolks. Heaven indeed!
RIP Roger T. Mosley and John Hillerman
The tv shows signatures theme songs of the 70’s and 80’s are something else ...
So true 💯

ABSOLUTELY !!!!
@@kathieklages5439 Lmfao
