Missing Melody - S7-E11

Continuity mistake: At Agent Estin's office, Bryant is wearing a plaid shirt with bold vertical pastel stripes, and pink stripes at the edges of his collar, but during the drive home in TC's van, the vertical stripes on Bryant's shirt have changed, though it still has the same pattern. Note the blue stripes at the edges of his collar. (00:06:30 - 00:08:40)

Missing Melody - S7-E11

Revealing mistake: When TC and Bryant leave Agent Estin's office it cuts to TC's van on the highway, and as we hear Magnum in the voiceover talking about his dad's advice, "to call the monsters out," we can see the shadow of the helicopter filming this footage. (00:08:20)

Missing Melody - S7-E11

Continuity mistake: When TC gets off the phone he tells the others that somebody must go to the Sea Palms Hotel, room 401. During their joint mission, Magnum responds to TC on the walkie and tells him he'll call back when he's in the room. Then Magnum enters room 1201, not room 401 as the kidnappers had instructed, right before the kidnappers call room 1201. (00:37:00 - 00:38:30)

Of Sound Mind - S3-E12

Higgins: How fiendishly deceptive of you, Magnum. I could have sworn I was hearing the emasculation of a large rodent. To my great surprise, I see the sounds are emanating from what I thought was a harmless musical instrument.
Magnum: Cute Higgins, real cute.
Higgins: Why Magnum? Why do this terrible thing?
Magnum: Higgins, I'll have you know I used to be very good. I was the second best sax player in my High School band!
Higgins: Well, how many sax players were there?!
Magnum: ...Anyway. I just saw this in a pawn shop window and thought I'd like to try and get my chops back.
Higgins: May I suggest that your "chops" are irretrievable.
Magnum: Higgins, did you come here just to abuse me!?
