Ack! That's awful. He was a really nice guy, and used to join us
sometimes at the late great Magnum PI group. :(

RIP Mac. Um was it an inside joke that his real last name is MacKay
and his character's name was "Mac" on Magnum PI?

Even after all these years, that's still one of the most stunning
moments in television history.
What you guys talking abt?
It's one of those things that I imagine only those of us over 35 or 40
can truly appreciate.

And *that*, ladies and gentlemen, is why I will forgive Donald
P. Bellisario for anything else he puts on television, even the
final Quantum Leap and the inconclusive mess he made of NCIS's
"season of secrets."

I agree about that scene. I saw it when it orginally aired, was stunned by
it, and never forgot it. What season was it in, and what is the name of the
episode? I am still collecting season sets. Also, I am sorry to hear of
Mac's death. I enjoyed his role on Magnum.
