Magnum, P.I.

Kapu - S7-E10

Continuity mistake: While Norm Vogel is meeting with a man at the Hawaii Museum, getting information about the tiny shells from Alea's necklace, in the wide shot we see the map with the island of Molokai, when they walk over to it. In the next closeup of the map, there are now three small (fictional) islands north of the island of Molokai, which have been deliberately drawn onto the map for this closeup. (00:32:50)

Kapu - S7-E10

Continuity mistake: When Magnum takes one of the outrigger canoes, the paddle he uses to paddle away from the island has a normal handle, but in the overhead wide shot facing Magnum's back, he's using a paddle with a T-grip handle, then it's back to the paddle with a normal handle in following shots.

Kapu - S7-E10

Continuity mistake: While Rick goes around asking if anyone's seen Magnum, there's a closeup of Rita as she pulls back one side of her blouse to admire her new tattoo, and in this closeup she's wearing a watch with a silver face and her new tattoo has a horizontal curve, but in the next shot Rita's watch is a smaller all black style and the tattoo is now more vertical.

Of Sound Mind - S3-E12

Higgins: How fiendishly deceptive of you, Magnum. I could have sworn I was hearing the emasculation of a large rodent. To my great surprise, I see the sounds are emanating from what I thought was a harmless musical instrument.
Magnum: Cute Higgins, real cute.
Higgins: Why Magnum? Why do this terrible thing?
Magnum: Higgins, I'll have you know I used to be very good. I was the second best sax player in my High School band!
Higgins: Well, how many sax players were there?!
Magnum: ...Anyway. I just saw this in a pawn shop window and thought I'd like to try and get my chops back.
Higgins: May I suggest that your "chops" are irretrievable.
Magnum: Higgins, did you come here just to abuse me!?
