We get some thrilling Hawaiian action this week with the reboot of “Magnum PI”! Magnum … becomes an efficiency expert? In an office? Can he make awkward birthday celebrations, TPS reports, and sneaking a smoke in the stairwell … exciting? Can you film a chase scene in a parking garage? Can we get a win in our fall season finale? And what does the goat have to do with anything? 

We bring back our friends Wayne and Alyssa for reinforcements to guess on the reboot of Magnum PI, season 2, episode 13, “Mondays are for Murder” on Apple TV.

Raisins are sweet. Agatha Christie is one of the best mystery writers of all time. Would a mash-up of the two equal a sweet mystery show? Jessica confesses which acting teacher scared her to death and Jacob breaks out some non-traditional acting exercises as we try to get in the win column! 

We watched Agatha Raisin, series 2 episode 3, “The Curious Curate,” on Hoopla. (A streaming service for libraries!)

What do you put on your fries? Ketchup, vinegar, mayonnaise, or butter? Which you choose will tell us a lot about who you are and how handy you might be in guessing for our latest show! We head to Bath, England to see which member of a deeply, deeply dysfunctional plastic surgery team killed a social media influencer — and is that better or worse than scratching up a first-printing Teddy Prendergrass LP? 

We watched McDonald & Dodds, series 2, episode 3, “The War of the Rose,” on Britbox.

Is it sparkly because it’s new? Or is it sparkly because of all the rain in the Pacific Northwest? Or is sparkly because it’s just a damn good show? Maybe all of the above? Luckily, we’ve got a new private detective to help us figure it all out! Jessica does a deep dive on stools,  Jacob gives TV critics the what for, and we both make a case for this being a comedy, not a drama. 

We watched So Help Me Todd, episode two, “Co-pilot,” on CBS.

Meet the new superwoman: Billie Blessings. She’s a best-selling author, chef, restauranteur, TV personality, and expert crime solver — suck on that, Martha Stewart! This episode, we  invent a new form of forensics built around baked goods to try to get back into the win column. Does it work? Listen and find out! 

We watched Morning Show Mysteries, “A Murder in Mind” on the Hallmark app.

Break out your barbecue sauce and your crosswords, it’s time for a very bloody episode of Cluedunnit! Jessica gets all suspicious of Will Shortz, and Jacob takes not one, not two, but three stabs at guessing who did it. Will he get it right this time? Or will he pack it all in to become a super-fan of “Murder Flip”? 

We watched season 7, episode 6 of “Bones,” entitled “The Crack in the Code.” We streamed it on Hulu.

This week we tackle the central question of any mystery show: Pockets. Are they worth it? We also interrogate sound effects around horses and try yet again to recreate the musical theme to a show using only our mouths. 

We watched “Miss Scarlet and the Duke,” season 1, episode 6, “The Case of Henry Scarlet.” We streamed it on the PBS app.

We go back to the ’80s this week for a tropical holiday with what may be the most famous mustache in all of TV: Tom Selleck as “Magnum, P.I.” I don’t know why showing so much body hair was a good idea, but Tom Selleck makes it work! 

And like we always say, “Watching TV is always better with friends.” So this week we are joined by our good friends, playwright Wayne Rawley and actress Alyssa Bostwick as we break down why Fig Newtons, VCR tapes, and Agatha Christie marathons make for one weird episode! 

We watched Magnum, P.I., season four, episode 12, “The Case of the Red-Faced Thespian.” We streamed it on FreeVee.

Return with us now to the thrilling era of yesteryear, when network shows had budgets to hire 15 day players, fake mustaches could be hidden in the low-res broadcast transmission, and gigantic accents roamed the earth!

This week we guess on “Murder, She Wrote,” a classic with deep roots in the history of TV. Will all our training over summer hiatus enable us to guess correctly? Or will we have to rely on Jessica Fletcher to clue us in? Listen and find out!

We watched “Murder, She Wrote,” season 3, episode 12, “The Corpse Flew First Class.” We streamed it on Peacock.
