Magnum, P.I.

Magnum, P.I. was an American television show that followed the adventures of Thomas Magnum (played by Tom Selleck), a private investigator living in Hawai?i. The show aired on the CBS network from 1980 to 1988.

Trivia

One reason this show was set in Hawaii was so CBS could re-use many of the sets from its other hit show, Hawaii Five-O which had just completed its on-air run in 1980. Several early episodes make reference to the fictional Five-0 squad, setting this series in the same "universe" as Hawaii Five-O. Due to crossovers with other programs, the series is also shown to take place in the same continuity as Murder, She Wrote and Simon and Simon among others.

The fictional license plate on the Ferrari inconsistently changed from "56E-478" to "ROBIN 1" when the credits rolled at the end of the second pilot episode. It later remained "ROBIN 1" in each subsequent episode.
