The original theme by Mike Post and Pete Carpenter would most likely used when the series premiered. -- 73.184.6.244 ( talk) 01:06, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
Watching episode 1.1, Magnum's narration says he and his buddies all spent time as POWs in Afghanistan. I guess that may belong in the article, but wasn't Bowe Bergdahl the only GI to be held captive by the Taliban. The Taliban tortured him, so he wasn't held as a POW. Geo Swan ( talk) 06:38, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
Owing to the fact that two of the show's regulars, Amy Hill and Tim Kang, do not debut until episode 3, and episodes 1 and 2 take place back-to-back chronologically and feature one major shared guest star and also have some plot links, do we know if the episode 2 was filmed in the same production block as the pilot? 50.66.121.20 ( talk) 13:17, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
With the crossovers with Hawaii Five-0 (so far all from 5-0 to P.I.) that must mean the ending to Hoa Pili (Close Friend) S03E19 of Hawaii Five-0 is retconned out of existence. That's when Kamekona has received his helicopter pilot license and is giving Steve, Danny, and Max a ride when Max starts doing the Magnum P.I. theme. Danny stops Max and asks if he's having a seizure. After a short discussion about the Magnum P.I. TV show, they all join in on the theme, which segues to the original Magnum theme music. Bizzybody ( talk) 10:19, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
Can Domenick Lombardozzi really be considered recurring when his character dies in the first 15 minutes of the first episode? (I haven't watched further yet, so maybe he appears in flashbacks) -- 184.64.102.148 ( talk) 09:28, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
What's the "78" tattoo on Magnum's/Hernandez's inner left upper arm mean? 2600:8800:784:8F00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D ( talk) 03:37, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
Why does the 2019-2020 episode 'grid' have "Part 1" and "Part 2" in it especially since the episode numbering for the season is continued?
And there's no mention anywhere in the article of a "split" season.
Many other series have gone on different types of hiatuses during a season without their episode grids having "Part 1" and "Part 2."
So why here?
I think the "Part 1"/"Part 2" headings should be removed.
Thoughts, comments ?
Or am I missing something ? 2600:8800:784:8F00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D ( talk) 21:52, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
I think the part 1 and part 2 headings are signs showing that there is a continuation of the crossover episodes and what show part 2 will be taking place in
"Try watching the show"
"Instead of jumping into a pot full of conclusions"
Thats that✌

See this Help Desk question. I just now saw it. Apparently, the person wants to be able to do what is possible on the pages for MacGyver (2016 TV series) and Hawaii Five-0 (2010 TV series). I see that the episode lists for those series are separate articles. — Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 00:00, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
Just a quick inquiry, MOS:TVSPLIT usually recommends about 50-60 episodes before splitting to an episode list but I imagine that this is generally valid for an article where season articles do not already exist. Since season articles do already exist there are no plot summaries on this article which significantly reduces its prose size. A quick check of the current readable prose comes out to 10kb, which is still well short of the 50-60kb needed to split the article. Given this it seems like a split isn't yet justified, and likely won't be even once the fourth season has completed airing. If anyone has any other opinions on this or believes that is justified at this time I'm open to discuss. Thanks, TheDoctorWho (talk) 02:27, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

TheDoctorWho, please ping me once you've addressed these or have questions/disagreements. Firefangledfeathers ( talk / contribs) 19:57, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
In rereading, I also think we should drop the "who they also receive assistance from", which provides little info beyond that implied by "allies". Firefangledfeathers ( talk / contribs) 16:25, 14 June 2022 (UTC)The show shares a fictional universe with Hawaii Five-O. The six main characters of Magnum P.I. share many allies with the Five-0 Task Force, including further law enforcement professionals, confidential informants, and city employees.
That's it for pt. 1. Feel free to ping me if I drop off your radar for more than 48 hours or so. Firefangledfeathers ( talk / contribs) 03:43, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

That's it! Copyvio check came out good (some false positives in the tool, spot checks all good). Sources are reliable. I want to spend some time with the tables but I don't expect anything to come of it. Firefangledfeathers ( talk / contribs) 02:41, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
