Trivia:
Higgins was actually a baronet, a British hereditary noble. He was engaged to a countess, but she broke it off when he refused to renounce his title; she didn't want to take a step down in the heraldic list. When Robin bought a castle in England and set the crew to get things set up, Higgins refused to see his father (they were estranged over Higgins' dismissal from Sandhurst), so Magnum 'kidnapped' Higgins and drove him to the family estate, where he was embraced by his father, also played by John Hillerman.

Quotes:
Thomas Sullivan Magnum III:
[voiceover] Hawaii is one of those places that keeps topping itself - just when you think you'll never see a sunset as beautiful, there comes a sunrise that even Gaughin can only imagine. It kind of makes unemployment easier to take.
Jonathan Quayle Higgins III: Magnum ...
[seeing him sunbathing]
Jonathan Quayle Higgins III: oh, Magnum.
Thomas Sullivan Magnum III: Hi, Higgins, Di.
Jonathan Quayle Higgins III: I have a proposition for you, Magnum.
Thomas Sullivan Magnum III: Now wait a minute, just wait a second, Higgins. Now this is really getting depressing, this constant deal making - I'll give you this if you give me that, it's so unnecessary. Now here we are in paradise, we have everything we could ever possibly want out of life just here. So why, why can't we just do things for one another simply because we want to, simply because we're friends, simply because we feel like helping each other?
Jonathan Quayle Higgins III: Magnum, I want you to know I'm quite touched, I never thought you were capable of those admirable sentiments, I really mean that.
Thomas Sullivan Magnum III: Thank you.
Jonathan Quayle Higgins III: I came here this morning to, just as you so aptly describe it, make a deal. You see the lads have been under the weather and I need to pick up some paperwork from the club. I was going to ask you to fetch it for me and in return I was going to give you the use of the tennis court for one week. Now I'm just asking you as a friend.

I have watched from the day it started, to the day it went off the air. Many episodes affected me deeply (Lily, death of Michelle, killing the corrupt officer, etc.), but the episode that touched me the most was the one in which Frank Sinatra guest stars as Mike Doheney who is looking for the killer of his lovely grandaughter. I cried my eyes out as he stood at her grave in the end of the movie. It was very moving. I felt Frank Sinatra once again pulled off an excellent performance. He was excellent!
Just thought I'd pass it along.
