I wonder if thats the episode with the Magnum P.I. crossover, if so there is a magnum episode that he meets Jessica on another case .

(the only way Jessica can stumble into so many murder cases is the secret fact that she Jessica Fletcher is a Serial Killer and frames all the so called guilty parties.)

Maybe Jeannie and the Major went to Hawaii a lot...

Tiki Royale: The two sources I have used are http://www.tvtome.com, and http://www.epguides.com

AtomicTonyTiki: The crossover answer can be found here.

Woofmut: Thanks, I added to more to the list on IDOJ, see above.

Also, I left out shows with a Hawaiian theme to the above list (ie: Hawaiian Eye, Magnum P.I., Hawaii 5-0) for obvious reasons.

[ Edited by: SugarCaddyDaddy on 2004-01-15 09:16 ]

i have a gut vibe that there must have been a flintstones with some kind of hawaiian theme...

although jonny quest had many exotic locales i don't recall any hawaiian locale...

Back in this post Bigbro refers to a Rockford Files episode "The Hawaiian Headache" so I checked it out. Also SugarCaddyDaddy mentions it in this thread so it should go here.

The Rockford Files - The Hawaiian Headache
Original Air Date: 23 November 1979

The episode had some stuff we like ~

This Maori Warrior statue at the airport.

Postcards.

You almost couldn't film a Hawaiian episode in the 70's or 80's without the lovely Elissa Dulce Hoopai.

Some bad guys and a Tiki.

TAKE COVER UNDER THE TIKI!

THE TIKI IS HIT! :o

The Feds arrive with a Keith Hernandez lookalike. :lol:

"Up against the Tiki"

It was an ok episode but Rockford's Father was way too chatty.

What, Rocky too chatty? Naaaw... :wink:

Such a hilarious scene, from a Tikiphile's standpoint! Love the first frame, with the three guys lined up like in a Western. That's how I would shoot EVERY scene in Hawaii: Put a big Tiki in the foreground! (But they won't let me...)

I am not really partial to 70s TV, you can chase me outta the room with "Magnum", but I like my Rockford Files, yes.

M

Of course there's the great Ozzie and Harriet episode, with legendary Harry Owens and a real/quality Hawaiian band for their Hollywaiian luau http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OM1Hquv7dNU

Aloha,

My Little Margiel

The Hawaii story is available to view, free. I don't recall any tiki, but there is some hula and music.
