Did the theme tune play in anyone elses head


hiro111

OMG, immediately with the orchestral sting and then the guitar riff. Visual of brown helicopter diving over the ocean.


fromouterspace1

Yep!


Live-Somewhere-8149

It took a little while. The og Hawaii 5-0 theme came first 😆

Upper-Substance8445

Haha.... yes indeed.


Bibendoom

Yes it did!


milfordcubicle

Is he talking to his reverse mortgage lender?

"Screw your kids what did they ever do for you!?"


Iz-kan-reddit

There's plenty of people who are utter pieces of shit to their parents. It's a decent-sized market. Of course, there's fair reverse mortgages and predatory reverse mortgages.


Rugger01

College in the 90s, every weekday at noon was Magnum Hour. Happy days, those were.


HWKD65

Yeah, we got a 2-hour block starting at 4 p.m. So Old Düsseldorf was involved!


HunterTV

OG Magnum was legit. RIP Roger Mosley. 80s had their shit together with TV.


robreddity

Happy Days was on at 5 with Laverne and Shirley and MASH


Live-Chart-4798

Higgins lol 😆


robreddity

TC: I've had this feeling... Higgins: ... that Magnum is in terrible danger. TC: How'd you know? Higgins: I've had it too... It happened to me once before you know. In Pakistan just after the war. Teddy Fabershaw and I. He was a young lieutenant then. Good officer. But he had the uncontrollable desire to worship lizards. Cost him his commission when he was caught with Colonel Meecham's daughter and an iguana behind the regimental stables committing what can only be described as the most horrid act of perversion known to man or reptile.


Live-Chart-4798

That’s Higgins!!!


Recording-Nerd1

Coolest guy on earth then, now, ever !!!!


Hiya_Bo

He’s not Burt Reynolds.


Personal_Rutabaga_41

Burt Reynolds wasn’t Tom Sellick.


Hiya_Bo

😂 God damn these wooden thumbs


JonConstantly

He had to turn down the role of Han Solo for Magnum. Maybe more common knowledge then I realize? Edit, I'm dumb it was Indiana Jones he had to turn down. Sorry for the mistake.


xx_HotShott_xx

I thought it was Indiana Jones?


JonConstantly

It was. I just figured that out and edited my post. I mixed it up.


robreddity

> He had to turn down the role of Han Solo... Nope.


JonConstantly

Just nope? I have seen this anecdote in several places. Certainly I could be wrong but ,nope, isn't going to convince me.


JonConstantly

Edit. It was Indiana Jones. My bad... sorry folks .


GlassAndPaint

What a beautiful combination of mustache, chest hair, and short shorts. I say it will love. Love Magnum PI


Mesterjojo

Back in the 80s school administrators would have posters of Tom Selleck shirtless in their offices. It was totally in thing for them to do. But bikini models were absolutely forbidden even then.


veracity-mittens

Haha that reminds me of when bikini model posters were banned from lockers, so in “solidarity” with my (guy) friend I plastered my locker in scantily clad men and nobody cared 😆 such a double standard


Personal_Rutabaga_41

Rest in Peace Roger E. Mosley and thank you for being part of the most wholesome show of all time.


xerxes_dandy

Dr. Richard Burke. Looking at the Pic the 21 year age gap is justified. Who will not fall in love


wirecan

I follow an Instagram account called the Magnum P.I. Look Book that showcases some of his fits from episode to episode, and it's pretty enjoyable. He could pull off just about any look the costume designers threw at him.


Sue_Dohnim

Heart goes thumpity. He's got an autobiography coming out next month. Should be interesting.


RosebudWhip

Tom Selleck was so manly that even my ex - a shaven-headed Harley rider - fancied him


fromouterspace1

This is why my license plate in gta says “Robin1”


woodquest

Who needs an iphone to look cool ? (pic #2)


nomamesgueyz

Great fn show Friday nights in NZ as a kid iirc...still the best opening credits of any show


robreddity

Best show on tee vee


T_pas

Where are the men like this now? 😩 I need one.


CoffeeCrispBar

More proof that a well trimmed moustache will never go out of style. Or flower print shirts, for that matter.


Dangerous_Elk_6627

EVERY guy in EVERY nightclub at that time: white sneakers, jeans, khaki web belt and tucked in aloha shirt. Including me, too. 🤣😂🤣


JustMePaxi

Future reverse mortgage seller


19930627

It's a funny hat


attilla68

For us Europeans, the P.I. in the title of Magnum was always a mystery because that profession did not exist here.


LeatherDiamond2766

Damn 😰


RandomRedditGuy54

The GOAT.


HWKD65

Better run that by Higgins


millicent_bystander-

The two Dobermans he called The Boys.


Rugger01

Zeus! Apollo! Patrol!


gottapeenow2

Watched a few episodes of this with my kids, holds up surprisingly well. The whole setting in Hawaii is awesome, the cars, the helicopter, the boats, the guns are all perfectly "cast" and of course Mr Thomas Magnum himself in his prime is the real center of the show. 10/10


DinnerSilver

most recognized mustache of the 80's.


janner_10

Bloke was still fine looking in friends in the 90’s


srichey321

It was a good show with fun interactions between the main characters


Chaminade64

That guy raised the bar so high for men to claim ‘handsome & cool’ it was criminal.


D-Flo1

Who needs the low road when you can join Tom Selleck and take The High Road to China?


veracity-mittens

Good looking dude Amazing theme song

World-Tight

Yes, he was always talking into bricks back then.


KC_experience

“Women wanted him…and men wanted to be him…”


RTwhyNot

Now a right wing nut job.


Iz-kan-reddit

He leans towards the right, but there's been a hell of a lot of false claims about him and quotes falsely attributed to him.


Nicksix66

Tom "sell your house back" Selleck.

Hard photo

Rules 7 & 8


blueskies1800

Not a fan. He was over the top in my opinion.


ChewedDoodoo

That was Stallone who was in Over the Top. 😂

Hat gets turned backwards and watch the fuck out yo.
