In the early 1980's I had a nice opportunity to meet Tom Selleck and John Hillerman on the other side of the boathouse. They were filming Magnum PI "Foiled Again", and I saw T.C's Volkswagen bus, and the helicopter sitting along the side of the road a little ways from the "boathouse" so I stopped to watch the filming and it was nice that Tom Selleck and John Hillerman came over to say 🤗 hello
Unfortunately John Hillerman passed away a few years back. I do not like the new Magnum PI, the old one was much better; and the same goes for Hawaii 50, the original was better.
@@faiolapat I totally agree. They should have never stopped making the old ones. Instead of making them better the new ones are worse I wouldn't waste my time watching them
Du Glückspilz,ich beneide Dich dafür!!! Bin schon immer ein glühender Fan der Serie gewesen und schaue mir noch heute die Wiederholungen an,leider war ich zu der Zeit erst 11 Jahre alt und lebte in Deutschland,hätte mir sehr gerne mal die Dreharbeiten angeschaut! Beste Grüße
I just came across your video - firstly, thanks a ton for it! I loved watching the tv show, bought the DVD set a while ago and recently started watching it again. Will check out your channel for possibly more videos of Magnum, Robin's Nest, and everything. Thank you! 😀

Maybe if it would've had enough land for his farm animals he would've. If other shows used this property for shooting, I don't understand why they let it get so run down! Shame on Hollywood!
An elderly lady owned this home and property and could no longer care for it so she sold it to a Real estate friend of Barack Obama, and his name is Mr Nesbitt. The salt water destroys all of these homes that are seaside, and they need to be kept up yearly to be in good condition which I don't think it was, and that's probably why they initially tried to sell it for close to $20 million and Mr Nesbitt purchased it for only around $9 million, what a fantastic investment that was. So it wasn't worth repairing and bulldozed it down and rebuilt a new home. Sad but true
Good morning, Mr. Tomas probably got tired of the island and didn't intend to spend money to fix it up. He also knew that living there would become a destination for many tourists and therefore constant stress
Es hätte Sinn gemacht es so zu lassen und es quasi als "Museum" oder Touristenattraktion der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich zu machen,wie die "Southfork-Ranch",mit Ausstellungsstücken und Reliquien der Serie!
I heard the buildings were in very bad shape even in the 1980's. The production company only went in and cleaned up the landscaping to use for exterior shots and all the indoor work was done on a sound stage. The sound stage interior was nothing like the real interior of the 401-505 Kalaniana'ole house. It was a wreck back then, probably why it was bulldozed. The value of the land alone is probably worth more than $9M today.
To my knowledge there were a few scenes that were filmed inside of the building but that's about it, very few.. it was occupied so it was livable after the original Magnum series ended.. but I'm sure termites had done a good job on the building.
True..a few short scenes..Ian McShane warrior ep...need to know...few scenes on that large open balcony...overlooking courtyard and episode with hot rod..angel from Rockford files were tom got a great career boost and a mentor and friend in James Gardner...
No kidding! Hollywood producers that used the estate for filming could've restored it and made money off of it. Letting it go was a depiction of how disrespectful they are.
Hawaii 5..o..with Jack lord..original magnum..and even Tom selleck before magnum had filmed there.. a pilot that ran as a TV movie..the Chinese typewriter..oh creative name..with James Whitmore Jr.. 😮😮😮😮😮
Incredible and yes u were very lucky to have it to yourself for the day...now..that would be impossible..the local police or secret service would be on you from hundreds of feet already...
Technically all beaches in Hawaii are open to the public and I doubt the secret service or police would legally be able to do anything about it. This Italian New Yorker would tell them what they could do because I know the law concerning beach access in Hawaii. I haven't been there quite a while but I think I'll go back just to test the waters. There is a Beach Park about a 2 minute walk away along the shoreline and that's how you access it. Who in the right mind would want to build such a nice home along the highway with all the noise coming from the trucks. I wouldn't call that very presidential.
Could be tricky as they are always on the lookout..from land ..air..sea..when guarding former presidents and their family...when they are in residence. ..and even when not..thankfully it is set back a good distance from the road...for peace and quiet...
@@faiolapat I am Canadian but am aware of the secret service protocols..granted yes all American beaches are suppose to be public..at times that is definitely not the case like in Malibu..Hawaii.. other places when comes to protection...
@@user-wn2di5st4k they have a big wall on the Beach. I doubt he spends much time there. I recently heard he might be selling it. I would never want to live in that location in Waimanolo. There's a homeless encampments across the street.
@@faiolapat apparently it is being subdivided with 2 different addresses and two different entrances..2 separate homes have already been built...perhaps one for the obamas..the other for Mr.nesbitt..the sea wall was restored..the video is on the net..
It should've been made a historic site based on other t.v. shows using the site for filming such as Hawaii Five-O. It's not like Hollywood couldn't afford to keep the property up. Disgusting!
It was about 100 years old... no one lived their for many many decades..it wS rented for TV productions for decades from the eve anderson trust...wonder and no one ever mentions the house right at the front gate..servants quarters I guess...a pool addition would have been a great idea..could swim in almost everyday of the year..and if not the tidal pool then a game of tennis...
For a Hawaiian king or royalty at the time..paniauh or something similar meaning turtle 🐢 apparently..during high or low tide u saw the enclosure on the show..great actress Robin dearden is sitting on it in need to know..only recently found out she is married happily for decades to bryan Cranston..
The "guest house" geography in the show never made much sense, ha. Not just it's physical location, but also in how it's designed. You climb up some exterior steps to a 2nd floor lanai, only to enter and then descend some interior stairs into the house? What's the point of that? How about a door at ground level? 😂
I know, right. Magnum's bedroom window was near the base of the stairs that led up to the front door. You're right about the location of the guest house (on the show) as it was nearer the house and not close to the beach, which made no sense.
@@twinsonic I never said I was sure that Obama bought the property, that was just the rumors going around. I’m still not sure one way or the other just because it may be denied by an article. Nice piece of property but I would not want to live just off the highway.

Best TV show ever made in my opinion. Place should have been preserved as a piece of history. Like painting over the Abbey Rd crosswalk. Lost forever

I wish Tom Selleck would have bought it :(

I think he got sick of Hawaii.. it's a nice place to visit so many months a year but to live year round gets a little tiring.
Didn't Obama buy it?
An elderly lady owned this home and property and could no longer care for it so she sold it to a Real estate friend of Barack Obama, and his name is Mr Nesbitt. The salt water destroys all of these homes that are seaside, and they need to be kept up yearly to be in good condition which I don't think it was, and that's probably why they initially tried to sell it for close to $20 million and Mr Nesbitt purchased it for only around $9 million, what a fantastic investment that was.

Yes, I know they tore it down, I guess it was in bad shape. It’s was a part of Hawaii film history. I drove by there a month ago and noticed.
so sad its torn down,
It did look stunning from inside however..for that time..

Thank u for the video....
Completely torn down in April 2018... foundations remain to rebuild a L-shaped house...
Thank you, that was nice
Beatiful.beach and old robin nest now is new house there
Ya, and most likely lacking character now!
The obamas are very lucky indeed...I guess he was a fan..I remember he loved Mr.spock...

Obama recently destroyed this iconic piece of Hawaii. How many would have happily have paid to stay at a restored Robins Nest?
No kidding! Hollywood producers that used the estate for filming could've restored it and made money off of it. Letting it go was a depiction of how disrespectful they are.
I wish the Night marchers well.

@@dougpayne4440 I think they rented it for the series!

Is the tidal pool artificial?
It was man made many decades ago as a fish pond... I may be incorrect on that.
@@faiolapat The tidal pool was made to put captured turtles in for the wealthy to eat.

Is the tide pool private property?
It’s public property, but you have to walk down from the state park in the ocean. Obama now owns the property, but not the beach.
@@faiolapat no he does not www.cnbc.com/2015/03/20/obama-not-buying-magnum-pi-house-white-house.html

No it's not. I've swam in it many times.
There are no private beaches in Hawai'i.
If O'bastard has purchased it...guarentee that tidal pool will be made "Off Limits" to the public....he will claim at at His!
for sure!
