Thank Heaven for Little Girls and Big Ones Too - S1-E4

Audio problem: Magnum just took TC to the bad part of town. TC says "Hey, look, don't forget you called me, I didn't call you." with the audio noticeably much lower than the rest of the conversation, and out of synch with Roger E. Mosley's lips. (00:13:00)

China Doll - S1-E3

Audio problem: Sorting the whole 'protecting the vase' business when it's first brought up, Higgins asks "Is the vase Chinese?" The audio in the scene becomes really spotty, culminating with Magnum saying "Mai Ling" in audio, with Tom Selleck mouthing something else entirely. (00:17:40)

Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii: Part 2 - S1-E2

Audio problem: Rick sprays the hitman with bullets, and hits the car behind him. The car is not Robin's Ferrari, but regardless of that, the car alarm of the Ferrari stops the moment that black car is hit. (01:25:25)

Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii - S1-E1

Audio problem: Ensign Healy parts from Magnum saying "See you, Magnum", but his lips barely move, not long enough for all the words. (00:31:05)

Mistakes

The Big Blow - S3-E21

Other mistake: With power out Magnum somehow lights the gas stove with the knob, which is electric. Should have used a match. (00:26:40)

Quotes

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!? (00:05:25)
