Transitions - S8-E11

Visible crew/equipment: While Higgins and Bruce are going over Robin's accounts, Magnum chimes in with his thoughts about Robin Masters, then just as Magnum walks toward the desk the unfinished top of the set is visible.

A Girl Named Sue - S8-E7

Visible crew/equipment: After Magnum and Sue are shot at while they're standing outside the cabin, Magnum soon realises the shooter is gone. Then when Magnum finds the shell casing on the ground, during the next few shots the boom mic with its fuzzy windscreen keeps popping up into view, at the bottom of the screen. (00:27:15)

Infinity and Jelly Doughnuts - S8-E1

Visible crew/equipment: After they talk to Nick about Father Timothy it cuts to Maggie hounding Magnum not to go after Quang Ki. Just as they all turn the corner to walk into Magnum's VA hospital room, the nurses station is in the background at the right side of the screen, and there's lighting equipment and a director's chair visible. Also, after Magnum agrees to give Ron time to find Quang Ki, when it cuts to Katherine talking on the phone, we can see Larry Manetti just standing in the background at the right side of the screen, waiting for his cue to rush into the study. (00:34:10 - 00:35:25)
