Well before woke destroyed t v all I can say they don't make them like they use too. I remember watching this pilot as a kid! Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii has worst 70's lounge intro music before the fame theme starts. There is a bit of Rockford files style theme with bad guys, beatings, and a frame. Magnum must find out who murdered a navel friend and framed the bud as a drug smuggler. Like Rockford Magnum has a few slick moves as a detective. Most of us thought Magnum was a little to perfect, but Magnum grows on you! There is no preachy message, or p c two dimensional characters. Magnum is big, though kind, but a likeable goof too! A flawed hero. Friends T C can be silly in a male way, while Rick is slick in a silly way which make the flawed character likable. The pretentious Higgens counters Magnum to keep Magnum sharp. Don't Eat the Snow has all the character mix well in the character arch as a more sexy Rockford style ( Magnum has women, free estate, and Ferri) mystery unravels. Magnum has women, free estate, and Ferri.
