That episode is called "Death and Taxes".
It's the one where the guy gives nursery rhymes to magnum with clues on where to find victims.
Did it use a Phil Collins song? I can swear it did (if not that episode, then definitely another), but I don't think re-runs played it. Perhaps there was some licensing issues.

That was Miami Vice.

I didn't watch Miami Vice (for some unremembered reason). So it couldn't have been that.

Got lost at the end of the last page, but it was Mama, by Genesis.

Miami Vice had several Phil Collins songs, but not that one.

Yeah that was it. Did Magnum PI have anymore of them?

John Hillerman, who hailed from Denison, Texas, certainly mastered a very convincing British accent as part of his craft.

In an interview, he recounted how an Englishman approached him (I believe in New York City), told him how much he enjoyed his work, and then told him he was a credit to the Crown!

And oh by the way, before they realized they should have some diversity in the cast, Gerald McCraney was the likely choice for TC's role. And he would have been great I think.

Selleck has said that it was McRaney's role and when Selleck or the director...I can't remember....informed him of who else was in consideration, McRaney passed on it and told him to cast Mosley.

That's great and all but I still can't forgive him for what he put Longmire through.

I tried to find it, but couldn't. I did have this pop up while I was searching for it.

Quote:
"They (the Magnum writers) keep writing for me to smoke and drink, but I won't do it," Mosley told Ebony in a 1982 interview, per The Hollywood Reporter. "I never get high, smoke or drink on the show or in real life. That's not what I want Black kids to see."

Class act.
