Magnum, P.I.

Jororo Farewell - S4-E11

Stupidity: The secret service's purpose is to protect the prince of the nation. There's a roadblock (a watermelon truck across the lane). They could and should turn the car around and/or avoid the obstacle, but what they do is instead stop the limousine and walk out, right into enemy fire, leaving open the doors. Stellar work.

Squeeze Play - S4-E7

Stupidity: Hard hats are a necessity but they leave something to be desired in terms of comfort and nobody really is overly fond of them. Yet in a Hollywood clichè, the construction workers chilling at the bar outside of work wear their hats, even the one guy who is retired (and still somehow knows where the guy Magnum looks for currently is). (00:16:50)

Distant Relative - S4-E4

Stupidity: Magnum needs to convince Rick that his sister is not what he thought, but he does not use the most obvious information about it - that she never graduated from the school Rick is adamant about and that supports the whole "innocent church girl" image.

Sammo

Smaller Than Life - S4-E3

Stupidity: Everyone refuses to believe Waldo and treats him as a complete fraud once Magnum finds out that he was discharged from the CIA a couple years before, but it's rather preposterous; the man has been a CIA agent as he mentioned, and for over 20 years. That is not like discovering that he lied about everything, and nobody would shrug off everything he says without a second thought.

Almost Home - S3-E10

Magnum: I could appeal to his heart.
Lieutenant Maggie Poole: Yeah. And his stomach.
Magnum: Oh, come on! That food stuff, that was just an excuse. Listen, underneath that stomach was a heart as big as...that stomach.
