PPL(H) as the Brits would say

He was more than just an actor.

I used to occasionally turn a wrench on the G-IV owned by the guy that wrote this theme, I never actually met him or maybe I did. He's not the most prolific musician of the era but he's probably written more songs that many of us of a certain age would recognize. I think he traded up to a G-V a couple of years ago...

I still have the entire series DVD box set.

We all get our hundred percent, though it may not reflect the time we want.

Blessings to you, sir, and following tailwinds as you travel west. While I suspect you already know, your life mattered and it made a difference beyond anything you might understand (as all of ours do).

If you ever heard John Hillerman outside of character in his native Texas accent it was quite jarring.

Hillerman was a Texan whom I thought was a Brit, originally.

Damian Lewis is a Brit whom I thought was an American, originally.

Always jarring to have that realization.

Another jarring one to hear is Matthew Rhyes from The Americans. The first time I saw him in an interview, with Keri Russell, on Conan, I was in shock. I had no clue he was Welsh.

Did anyone else think of Poly-Fiber every time you saw that helicopter?

Probably not if you were working on helicopters. I recall as a youth infatuated with flying things as a graduation present (with straight A's) from the 6th grade my dad took me down to the Port of Long Beach and we went for a sight seeing flight in a 500 with the same paint scheme, it was awesome. That scheme is not necessarily original to Magnum PI. The North Slope Borough Search and Rescue has been running something very similar for a looong time.

What?

"They" say you're from Omaha. Don't fight it, "They" are right.

 

[ahw01]

What?

Just thinking of your fantasy accent

Always appreciated the helicopter scenes in Magnum P.I.. In so many shows. we see boarding, deboarding, and bad stock footage.

You ever catch the MacGyver episode where the helicopter starts to enter into ground resonance?
