HURLEY: *Embarrassed* It's "furry." "Furry fist." I need a spell-check.
MILES: What the hell is this?
HURLEY: I'm writing Empire Strikes Back.
MILES: Uh... I'm sorry. What?
HURLEY: It's 1977, right?
*Miles nods*

(Somewhat, production at the start of Magnum was delayed by a writers strike – it was originally intended to begin in May 1980 – so Selleck would have been free to play the role of Indy anyway!).
