Heal Thyself - S3-E11

Continuity mistake: Magnum is talking with the administrator of the hospital, Phillip Harriman. He asks him about Dr. Jorgenson. When Harriman answers, a rather conspicuous fella with a big head of curly hair walks into the building. When Magnum walks off at the end of the scene, he comes across that same guy, who again is entering the building. (00:11:35)

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!?
