Re: Is the reboot cancelled again?
Well, hopefully for the people that actually like and watch it they get can take some solace in knowing it's actually ending. The original's ending couldn't have been more perfect and is still in the top five most watched television events ever. Really? I never knew the original MPI's finale was a ...

Re: Magnum Reboot CANCELED
Peacock has streaming rights to the episodes that aired on NBC, Paramount has streaming rights to the episodes that aired on CBS. Both of those streaming services' parent companies have passed on paying for new episodes. A third streaming service would not only have to buy new episodes, but in orde...

Re: Magnum Reboot CANCELED
It could have continued another 5 years and I wouldn’t have given it much thought. I’m a “mature mature adult” afterall. 🤣 Is that why you throw darts at Jay Hernandez pinned on your wall? :lol: That only lasted a year. Then I just viewed it as bad cheesy modern fan fiction. :lol: It’s like what Di...

Re: Magnum Reboot CANCELED
I gave up on the reboot after the first few episodes, but still don’t understand the seeming joy by many on the forum at its cancellation. It didn’t like it, but apparently many did, including members of this forum. It seems a bit inconsiderate to post such glee in its cancellation. Honestly? Peopl...

Re: Magnum Reboot CANCELED
Wow, I'm late lol. Can't say I'm surprised. NBC seemed to have very little confidence in it and barely promoted it. Makes you wonder what the point was of bringing it back in the first place.

Is the reboot cancelled again?
I recently saw something interesting. Idk how true it is but it appears that the reboot got cancelled again on NBC this time. If it's true then I can't say I'm surprised because they barely even promoted the thing and they didn't seem to have much confidence in it anyways with the ten episode order ...

Re: Should the reboot have gone the way of Poker Face?
I saw a commercial for a new "CBS Original" show MATLOCK starring Cathy Bates. I never watched Andy Griffith's Matlock, but again, another iconic character reimagined...the Hollywood writers are currently on strike, but it should be the audience as they have nothing original to offer. Oh, don't get...

Re: Should the reboot have gone the way of Poker Face?
I've not seen Poker Face, so not familiar with it at all, but I think I get what you are saying. I was thinking a couple weeks ago that the reboot of Magnum might have been better if the did a reboot of Hawaiian Eye instead. Unlike Magnum, don't recreate/reimagine all of the characters, but new nam...

Should the reboot have gone the way of Poker Face?
The success of the Columboesque Poker Face kinda proves what everyone who destests this trend have been saying. They managed to create a show that was in the spirit of Columbo and the main character is very much like a female Columbo but without actually making her a female Columbo. Instead of doing...

Re: Sexism
Have to be honest I don't see the point of this point other than to perhaps troll? Because let's be real here Magnum is a guy's show. It has always been a guy's show very much like The A Team, Knight Rider etc. There's certain aspects that only the male audience would appreciate and there's nothing ...

Re: FINALLY: Magnum PI Reunion on Blue Bloods
Blue Bloods is an excellent show. I was very happy to see Larry Manetti getting a guest role on the show. I know it wont happen because TS said as much, but I'd like to see him do a cameo on the new MPI...maybe as an old war buddy of "The Kid". They can talk Tigers baseball or something...maybe Fer...

Re: Tom is Awesome: A Story
This is dope! Tom is a lot like James Garner, both genuinely cool dudes of which will never be duplicated. Stars with that much talent and class just don't grow on trees.

Re: Magnum and Burn Notice connection?
I'm a huge Burn Notice fan as I am a Magnum fan and I can't help but see the similarities and have to wonder if Matt Nix is a big Magnum fan as well because there are definite similarities. The voice overs, a perfectly balanced light and dark tone with great quirky humor and heavy drama with great ...

Re: Magnum and Burn Notice connection?
I really enjoyed Burn Notice too! As far as a Magnum connection, I do agree that the friendship/team work vibe is very similar on both shows. The beautiful location and cool/unique living arraignments of the main characters are also very similar. I do think the narration is very different between t...
