Thomas Magnum - Notes

Notes

  • Personal details: In “Memories are Forever” (Ep.2-05), Magnum’s drivers license was shown briefly on screen giving the viewer the following information: SSN 546-10-8740, Hair BRN, Weight 205, Height 6'4", Eyes BL, DOB 1/05/46, and his old address (pre Robin’s Nest) of 11435 18th Ave., Honolulu, HI 96816.
  • Age/Birthday: The first episode to reference Magnum’s birthday was “Memories are Forever” (Ep.2-05) which listed it as January 5, 1946 on his drivers license.
    • “Try to Remember” (Ep.2-15) Magnum—waking up in the hospital with a serious head wound—gives his birthday as August 8, 1944.
    • “Letter to a Duchess” (Ep.4-06, aired November 10, 1983) Magnum gives his age as 38, putting his birth date between November 1944 and November 1945.
    • In “On Face Value” (Ep.4-19) Magnum makes a point of being ten—not yet eleven—on August 4, 1956 when he attended his first Tigers game during their pennant race. This would put his birthday between August 5, 1945 and August 3, 1946. (August 8, 1945 fits in the “Duchess” range, matches the year Selleck was born, and would fit with a wounded Magnum having simply misspoken the year in “Remember”. On-the-other-hand, January 5, 1946—also in this episodes range—would match his drivers license.)
    • “Forty” (Ep.7.17, aired February 2, 1987) is about Magnum’s 40th birthday, putting his birth in February 1947, which does not fit with any of the above dates.

Famous quotes containing the word notes:

    “What neat repast shall feast us, light and choice,
    Of Attick tast, with Wine, whence we may rise
    To hear the Lute well toucht, or artfull voice
    Warble immortal Notes and Tuskan Ayre?
    He who of those delights can judge, and spare
    To interpose them oft, is not unwise.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “My weary limbs are scarcely stretched for repose, before red dawn peeps into my chamber window, and the birds in the whispering leaves over the roof, apprise me by their sweetest notes that another day of toil awaits me. I arise, the harness is hastily adjusted and once more I step upon the tread-mill.”
    —“E. B.,” U.S. farmer. As quoted in Feminine Ingenuity, by Anne L. MacDonald (1992)

    “The drama critic on your paper said my chablis-tinted hair was like a soft halo over wide set, inviting eyes, and my mouth, my mouth was a lush tunnel through which golden notes came.”
    —Samuel Fuller (b. 1911)
