Your Mental Sorbet: Magnum P.I. Episode – Limbo

"Time has little to do with infinity and jelly donuts"
Magnum! I demand you come back immediately!
- Jonathan Q. Higgins III
Here is another "Mental Sorbet
that we could use to momentarily forget about those
things that leave a bad taste in our mouths.

Magnum P.I. Episode – Limbo
First aired on April 15, 1987 Limbo was originally intended to be the series finale (with Magnum seemingly walking off to heaven). When they filmed this episode everyone on the crew thought it was the last one, including Tom Selleck. Not long before the air date in April of 1987, Selleck agreed to do one final (short) season (Season Eight). After Season Eight was greenlighted, "Limbo" underwent some minor edits to reenforce the idea that Magnum is not really dead. Still, some scenes couldn't be re-done or re-edited, namely the scene were everybody is at Robin's Nest dressed in black, and talking about Magnum in the past tense..

Stay Tuned
