Wow it's impressive to see that this page has remained up for so long!

I used to email the owner a long time ago when I was really getting into Pink Floyd in high school. It was one of the first times I can really recall about having long, ongoing conversations online about something I was becoming increasingly passionate about. I really enjoyed the debate and back and forth that they were willing to entertain with me.

Sadly it looks like those conversations have been lost to time/old email addresses. But the idea that people would be open and willing to chat about their hobbies is really what defined the internet to me of that age.

I had a similar relationship in the 90's with the guy who started the Magnum Mania website for fans of the show Magnum PI. It was fun to communicate directly with somebody who was even more enthusiastic about the show than I was, and fun to send him pictures when I bought my Ferrari 308 after seeing the car on the show and literally saving up for it for 20 years. I haven't talked to him in many years now, and he doesn't seem to update the website as much these days, but the forum there is still pretty active, and there's still tons of info available.

There is an episode of the original run of Magnum wherein a character picks up a phone and dials “9, 1,” as though they are about to call emergency services, and then hangs up the phone instead. I think, but am not sure, that the caller is using a phone on the Masters estate.

Any idea which episode I’m referring to?

[technothrasher]

Sure, that’s easy. Season 1, Episode 8, titled "Deadly Manuevers“.

(Ok, to be fair, I cheated. I asked ChatGPT)

Season one, episode eight of Magnum, P.I. was entitled, “The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii.”

There are, of course, episodes of both Knight Rider and The A Team that share that tile, though.

While I am appreciative that you want to demonstrate precisely how useless LLMs are, I wonder if perhaps you could do something more productive than make work for me.

Did you verify?

ie. pull the descriptive subtitles or watch the indicated episode?

I'm not sure we've yet reached the stage of having a high degree of confidence in the strict accuracy of ChatGPT responses.
