The new Magnum is shit. This show is the best. The Higgins character was the most interesting. Especially when Higgins would go on military/ mercenary adventures.
On THIS episode of Magnum P.I. A granny KGB agent's assassination attempt is thwarted by T.C.'s helicopter blades obliterating her attack-parrot named Merlin! ... That's a real synopsis of a REAL scene from this show. x-D
I once saw John Hillerman in a tv movie from England in the role of Dr. Watson. Edward Woodard (The Equalizer) played Sherlock Holmes. I was in for a treat.
