Seeing Tom Selleck on Friends tonight reminded me of something. Was Higgins really Robin Masters or what? Did the series ever address this burning issue definitively? ---

They tried to claim he was Robin, but what with Orson Wells playing Robin in a few episodes, it was hard to believe. The writing of the final episode was lame. ---

A&E is showing Magnum every day a 11:00 am and 5:00 pm, and I don’t know if it’s good that I know this, or really lame. I guess I’m just well-viewed individual ( if a person who reads a lot is well-read, why can’t I be well-viewed?). I didn’t watch the show when it was originally on the air, but I find it strangely compelling now. I do this with many shows–pick them up in syndication. I think it has to do with my liking of instant gratification–I can find out how the cliff hangers end the next day, instead of having to wait a week, or for a new season (drat West Wing, for the love of god–who’s hit, who’s not, I want to know now!!) ---

Baaa… I thought you were talking about the condoms… 🙂 ---

In the series finale, Higgins admitted that he had been Robin Masters all along. He later (in the series finale) told Magnum that he had lied when he admitted it.
