What watch did Tom Selleck wear on Magnum PI before the Pepsi?

I wish the Superbowl was at 4:30 not 6:30!

YEP!

Me on Magnum P.I. They used real Honolulu Police Officers to play the part of police officers on the show. I am the blonde haired cop in the background shuffling papers.

Mr. Selleck is a real nice stand up guy! Often ate with us at lunch time and was really funny off camera as well.

Cool. How many shows did you end up making an appearance on, do you remember?

Cool.

I do, he was much better in the series that he played in prior to that??

Edit: I just rememebered I think it was called Canon.

But William Conrad actually played Matt Dillion (Gunsmoke) on radio. To big to play Matt Dillion on TV.

Are the white short-shorts coming back in style?

Just kidding, I was a huge Magnum fan and never missed an episode.

Thanks, the radio stuff was a bit before my time. I may have read that once however, I know I read an article about him a long time ago. His weight kind of prevented him from living up to his full potential I believe.

Yeah, he was kind of a pudge. If you ever get to see the movie "THE KILLERS" with Bert Lancaster, watch for Conrad as one of the hired thugs. He was a pretty good actor after all.
