Did You Know?
| Trivia | Thomas Sullivan Magnum IV (Tom Selleck) was a Vietnam War veteran. At the time, Vietnam and its aftermath were still controversial. Magnum, Theodore "T.C." Calvin (Roger E. Mosley), and Orville "Rick" Wright (Larry Manetti) have been cited as some of the first positive portrayals of Vietnam veterans on a network television series. See more » |
| Goofs | In many episodes, cars and uniform patches saying "state police" are shown. Hawaii is the only US State without a state police agency, but instead its law enforcement is performed by county governments. See more » |
