Gen-X, the oft hated, always ignored, rounding error of a lost generation, had Magnum PI. That was our window on the mysterious world of tropical islands and excellent moustaches.
Boomers, don’t think I forgot you. Y’all had Hawaii Five-O. It was a little earlier, starting in 1968, and played mostly after my bedtime. (How odd to think I was once young enough to have a mandatory “bedtime”.) Whenever I watched the show it bored me… but I think the theme is better than even Magnum’s.
Book ’em, Danno!
