Hey gooddream.I used to watch Magnum in it's heyday and enjoyed it. I haven't revisited them though and have seen a couple of the remakes and I can't watch it. Higgins is replaced by a woman, trying to bring glamour into the show I suppose.
I was trying to remember what other shows were around at the time. One had Joe Penny and a helicopter, can't recall the name though but also detective stuff.
