It was outstanding and not typical “Hollywood”.
The ease with which they could go from serious action-adventure to comedic episodes (and even black-and-white film noirs when Magnum would write those detective stories that Higgins hated) really hasn’t been seen before or since. Someone once wrote that Magnum began and ended with the Reagan era, and I think that’s a great observation. It had the patriotism, the optimism and the breezy spirit we associate with Reagan.
