Magnum PI
Mustached island investigator
Magnum PI is an American television series (1980–1988) featuring a private investigator in Hawaii, known for its iconic lead character Thomas Magnum, played by Tom Selleck.
The name has become shorthand for a certain type of easygoing masculine cool—Hawaiian shirts, a Ferrari, and a prominent mustache: He's going for that Magnum PI look.
