110: "The Taking of Dick McWilliams" (S2E10)

About this episode

The hosts review an episode of Magnum P.I. that features a mix of old cars, helicopters, and a problematic kidnapping plot.

Old cars versus helicopters, karate and seppuku, a helpful anecdote from Higgins, and a kidnapped guy who’s such a jerk that nobody (except maybe his wife?) wants to see him again. We watch a broken-down old episode from a writer who would go on to do better things, because what else can we do? We’re on the executive board of the Anglo-Hawaiian Friendship Society, after all....
