Higgins is gone.....RIP.....
 
John Hillerman, Emmy-Winning ‘Magnum, P.I.’ Actor, Dies at 84

Magnum PI was one of my favourite shows on TV, and Higgins was instrumental in it's success. You will be missed Jomathan!

Seriously, Our Jeff is only what... 79?

Really guys, please think twice about the title before posting please.

And yeah great actor, good show.... sad to see him go but death comes for all of us.

Damn, I thought the same thing! And I never cared too much for the Magnum shows. I watched it here and there but just way to cheesy. Thats on the cusp of one generation before me...

Loved that show, the first few seasons anyway. Hillerman was actually from Texas but did the English accent fairly well.

I thought the same thing until I hovered over the thread.

We (family) used to watch Magnum pretty religiously. Loved it. Higgins was awesome.

RIP

I'm sorry but your brain must be stuck in granny gear to title a thread like that when we have a frequent poster named Higgins. :rolleyes:

Who gives a schit what geriatric celebrity died today? Sometimes this board is just like USA Today, a recap of trivial news for people who read w their lips moving.

*Some* of us really enjoyed Magnum PI.....and the character who played Higgins!

How about this?

Go **** yourself, dickman! :D

Oh Man, I loved that show. RIP Higgy... I have a Flylow 'Higgins" ski jacket.

scottmandue 11-10-2017 12:32 PM

So when/where is the wake?

I honestly wasn't a big fan of Magnum P.I., nice car thou.

tabs 11-10-2017 01:21 PM

Never watched the show...

Khal 11-10-2017 01:28 PM

I read the title and thought WTF a poster here Jeff Higgins is dead????

Then realized it was the famous Higgins. RIP but I didn't even realize he was still alive as of recent.

I would take TC's MD500 over the car any day of the week.

Hillerman was a great character actor, and his body of work is pretty darn impressive. He was in at least a couple of of my favorite movies, "Chinatown" and "The Last Picture Show". Probably lots more. A real good talent.
