Magnum PI reboot

I mean no actor is going to be able to deliver the line "Higgins....guys" looking at Zeus and Apollo the same way. That was a running gag that literally never got old.
 
Magnum was know for killing off good guest characters, and having supernatural episodes, where it really was the supernatural. I loved the scene of Magnum and Mac's spirit having one last laugh in "Mac's Back" episode.

Let's hope this dies a swift death like the proposed "Rockford Files" remake from a few years back.

Hear Hear.
 
One thing the old series had, along with most dramas back in the 70/80's was a sense of humor, even if it was subtle. Everything today is Uber serious and the main characters have absolutely no character. They're formulaic and boring. I imagine the new Magnum will also have the required command center with glass screens and holograms.

I watched just a few episodes of the new Five-O and never watched again. Why remake and reboot all the time? I think the new Five-O would have been great if the new McGarrett was a grandson of the original McGarrett. It could've had a life all its own with new characters and no comparisons. It was done right the first time, just like the original Magnum.
 
Let me guess: magnum will be playes by a black female actress.....

They should have consulted me. If they were determined to have a Latino for the role I would have recommended this guy:

I have doubts that El Diablo has the charisma to pull of Magnum.
But, we'll see, I guess...
If the Magnum reboot is anything like the Hawaii 5-O reboot, color me disinterested.

CBS had been looking to add a twist to the classic character played by Tom Selleck in the original series, which had been conceived as diverse in the reboot, with the network setting out to find a non-white actor for the role.
Well at least they didn't make him a girl.

The reboot follows Thomas Magnum (Hernandez), a decorated ex-Navy SEAL who, upon returning home from Afghanistan, repurposes his military skills to become a private investigator...as well as that of disavowed former MI:6 agent Juliet Higgins...

Oh :facepalm
 
Yeah... I wonder how close to the original set up they're going to follow; i.e. the whole Robin Masters schtick was a pretty big part of the show that helped explained the mansion, the Ferrari, etc. not to mention the comedic tension between Magnum and Higgins....

Now that Higgins is a woman, you can count on sexual tension instead.
