Question

I watched it in the late 70's & 80's the show was base on a island a man flew a plane that landed on water alot I thought he was played by Bruce Boxleithner or Robert Conrad, on the island their was a type of bar in a Hutt where people hung out, he had a freind called Max or Mac I think he looks like the guy that plays on Magnum Pi sometimes as Mac OR Macgyver show as Mac, It reminded me alittle of Indiana Jones in a slite away.it's been so long since I've seen it.

Answer 2

The series was "Tales of the Gold Monkey", which aired on ABC during the 1982-83 season. It starred Stephen Collins and Jeff MacKay (who played Mac on Magnum, P.I.). You can find more information about the show at my website, http://www.goldmonkey.com.

BTW, it's not official yet, but there's a very good chance that Universal will be releasing the complete series on DVD in May to coincide with the release of the new Indiana Jones film.

Answer 3

Was it "The Golden Monkey" ? It had a guy that was sorta like an adventurer and he always seemed to loose his dog's gemstone eye in card games and all that. Stephen Collins was in it.
