Looks like they are portraying Magnum as some kind of superhero,thats not what it should be,he was pretty an everyman.No one can play him like Tom Selleck,an iconic role.

Got to meet him in 1981 while on our honeymoon in Honolulu,in those days you could pretty much just stroll onto the set.Caught him coming out of his trailer,very gracious,he stopped and chatted and posed for a picture with my wife.

I tend to agree with you, Steve.  Used to watch both the original Magnum and Five-0.  Some roles are so appropriately cast with a particular actor, they become almost definitive.

Posted by plasticjunkie on Monday, September 24, 2018 2:09 PM

I saw previews of the new show and give this version of the original series maybe one season before it goes belly up. The cast is not even close to the origal idea, specially casting Higgins as a female, really?

I followed Magnum PI from the first to the last show in the late 80's and was not impressed by this "new" version. I found the original series to be entertaining and placing attention on the Viet Nam veterans since TM had been a SEAL himself during that war. "Did You See the Sunrise" is my favorite episode showing TM dealing with Ivan in the best possible way. Justice took a while but it finally came for Ivan.

The 'new' Hawaii Five O is another one I saw and one episode did it for me. What's next, an I love Lucy reboot? Hollywood is lacking some serius amounts of imagination.
