The Case of the Missing Mustache: How Many Episodes of Las Vegas Did Tom Selleck Actually Save?
Ah, Las Vegas. The city of bright lights, questionable life choices, and casinos where fortunes are won and lost faster than you can say "shuffle." It was also the stomping ground for our favorite silver-haired fox, Tom Selleck, for a good chunk of the noughties. But the question that plagues fans like myself (and maybe some insomniacs with access to reruns) is: just how many episodes did Magnum, I mean, Tom Selleck grace us with his presence?
How Many Episodes Of Las Vegas Did Tom Selleck Appear In |
The Great Selleck Shuffle
The answer, my friends, is not as straightforward as a winning hand of blackjack. You see, Las Vegas existed for five glorious seasons, a total of 106 episodes. But Tom Selleck, fashionably late as always, didn't mosey on in until season two. That means the first season is all James Caan and his gruff CIA charm (respectful nod).
QuickTip: Don’t ignore the small print.
So, how many episodes are we left with? Buckle up, because here comes the math (don't worry, it's easier than counting cards): 5 seasons - 1 season without Selleck = 4 seasons with Selleck. Now, each season has a different number of episodes (those pesky television gods!), but we can estimate that Tom Selleck appeared in somewhere around 80-ish episodes.
The Verdict: A Sellebration (See What I Did There?)
So, there you have it. Tom Selleck brought his mustache-twitching magic to a hefty portion of Las Vegas, keeping us entertained with his signature blend of rugged good looks and surprisingly good comedic timing. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a sudden urge to rewatch a classic episode and maybe, just maybe, try my luck at online poker. (Though, with this kind of luck, I'm more likely to end up with a room full of Elvis impersonators than a royal flush.)
QuickTip: The more attention, the more retention.
