The Elmo Ziller Story - S2-E20

Visible crew/equipment: When Magnum asks Higgins why he's angry, Higgins gets up from his desk and shouts about Magnum's, "Abysmal failure to perform rudimentary detective procedures, like finding one loud course woman." In the next shot the white tape mark is visible on the floor behind Lexi (where was previously standing, and then it's gone a few shots later). (00:38:20)

The Elmo Ziller Story - S2-E20

Visible crew/equipment: After Bronco tells Rick the blaggards won't try to kill him unless he keeps his distance, Rick follows Bronco out of the trailer, and when blonde Barbara distracts Rick, the plastic T-mark is visible on the ground at her feet. Then when Magnum spots Bronco being pushed into the pickup he sticks his gun into his waistband, and as Magnum runs over to the horse a crew member (presumably animal wrangler) can be seen crouching behind the tractor. (00:42:50 - 00:44:05)

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!?
