Magnum Mania!

Who’s watching the reboot premiere tonight?

In my position as Majordomo of this site and sometime radio & TV guest as the Magnum, P.I. Superfan, I feel I have an obligation to watch it so I can tear it apart intelligently.

Were I not the bearer of such heavy burdens I would prefer watching a fish tank.

I was going to post a similar thread.

I'll watch, maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow via Hulu or cbs.com.

I don't expect much. I expect to hate it. I expect that it's going to be ridiculously overdone, requiring tremendous levels of suspension of disbelief. I expect it to be completely PC.

Hopefully I'm surprised. We'll know before long.

Of course I will watch!

Have you ever passed a car crash on the road without slowing down to take a look?

I'm predicting that in spirit it will be very much like Five-Zero. Lenkov will just do lots of copy-and-paste from that show to this show. At least one thing I can count on is some beautiful scenery in HD. That's about the only plus I can think of. That's the only thing Five-Zero has going for it.

So yes, I will watch at least the pilot and then scoff... "Tomas-Hernandez, you are just short schoolboy using schoolboy tricks. I had you pegged as impostor for 3 months and still you crack jokes."

I will be watching, hoping against all hope that it is not as bad as I expect it to be. But I am prepared to be disappointed.

Still undecided at 6:34pm.

Magnum jumping from orbit in a space suit?

Oh My God!

I'll be watching with low expectations but an open mind.

Nope. I am however watching the original (And ONLY) Magnum PI every Thursday night as I have the entire 8 seasons

Im looking forward to it !

This.

5 minutes to the premier and I'm all in........How about a letter grade by everyone when it is done............

Sounds good to me. T minus 2 minutes and counting.

Here we go...

I'm thinking about it. Being on the Left Coast, I was hoping to get the input from the Ultimate Magnum Fan, or the Maniacs further to the east.

So far, the vibe I was expecting. Man, Higgins is hot! (Never thought I'd write that)
