Magnum, P.I.

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

Visible crew/equipment: After Magnum just barely gets into the Ferrari before Higgins' beauties get hold of him, when the alarm goes off Magnum punches in a code. In the next shot, at the left side of the screen, we can see a crew member (presumably the dog trainer) wearing a dark shirt standing beside the dogs, before Higgins or the two women are anywhere near the car.

China Doll - S1-E3

Visible crew/equipment: After Magnum reads the note he kneels down in front of Han to console him, and as the next long shot zooms out in front of the beautiful scarlet macaw parrot, a piece of lighting equipment becomes visible in the background, at the left side of the screen. (00:34:20)

No Need to Know - S1-E5

Visible crew/equipment: After Mandy has Suzie's introductions, Higgins makes a crack about Magnum then heads to the stairs. There are three wide shots of Magnum with the two women, and a piece of equipment is visible beside the chair at the right side of the screen, which is gone in the women's semi-closeups. In the third of these wide shots, as Magnum walks toward the bedroom for the first sleeping shift, we can see crew member movement at the bottom, right corner of the screen. (00:06:55)

No Need to Know - S1-E5

Visible crew/equipment: When Magnum goes back into Samson's motel bathroom to show Hooker the plastique he found, there's a visible black T-mark taped to the floor (which wasn't there when Magnum first entered the bathroom a few minutes prior). Also, in the main room area in front of the TV, the pole of lighting equipment is visible at the right side of the screen. (00:24:55)

Skin Deep - S1-E6

Visible crew/equipment: 00.24.15 After Magnum has stayed up all night watching Erin's videotapes, Magnum is sitting in the chair holding the empty yogurt container then he stands up, and with this angle of the camera we see the normal ceiling. Soon after, twice we see set lighting at the ceiling, first, when Magnum tells that Erin didn't even blink, and second, when David tells Magnum that he loved Erin. (00:24:15)

The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8

Visible crew/equipment: After Magnum knocks out of the fake 5-0s at the gas station, he and his passengers escape in the Jimmy. When DiGorgio is at the steering wheel he picks up Steve and Michael, then in the exterior shots from the hood of the car, there's black material covering the passenger window at the left, and also on the windshield/car surface we see the reflection of a screen (where the camera is located).

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.
