Thanks for posting that, Sophia. I listened to the interview on their web site, too bad it was so short. Interesting how he just found about the cancellation of "Las Vegas" last Wednesday via his agent and a courtesy call from the Producer......

MY PLOT for a MAGNUM MOVIE
Ok well here is my idea for a Magnum Movie. A bit long, bear with me.
TS returned to Va after Rick's wedding. Frank has died and he lives with his Mother so Lily can be raised around family and he took a desk job, so he would no longer be involved in danger, putting Lily at risk of being orphaned.
Lily has finished college and she and TS, who has just retired, return to hawaii for the first time since they left. Robin Masters has passed away and left the estate to Tom and named him executer. He finds the place abandoned and run down, much as it appears today. Higgins is not there, he has disappeared. TS walks around forthe first time and has flashbacks of old times on the estate (flashbacks from old shows) In the process of trying to find Higgins, he discovers Higgins and Robin are half brothers. Thus explaining why he thought Higgins was Robin.
A subplot with Lily, she is being stalked and TS fears it has something to do with the people who murdered Michelle. I don't know why Higgins has disappeared but it will be serious, complicated and dangerous.
I haven't got many details yet, but it would end up with Higgins found, TS and Lily and his mother moving onto the estate, and TS killing the person stalking Lily who turns out just to be a crazy guy.
Maybe Higgins and Catherine become involved? Maybe Karen Teal comes back into TS life (she was my favorite most beleivable romantic interest), maybe Lily hooks up with Rick and Cleo's son?
As the show ends TS walk by a pet store and two tiny Dobie pups in the window catch his eye. You just know they are going home with him.
What do you guys think?

thanks guys! couldn't resist the idea of higgins and robin being half brothers. i just think the plot should relate back to old story lines but be enjoyable too for those who may have never followed the show! and it needs to be intense, some of the shopws i enjoyed the most were the rerally intense ones.

eeyore,
With your sketched-out plotline, please don't be offended if I make a little attempt to refine it a tad.
Firstly, one cannot be both the heir and the executor, so TM can't be the executor and inherit the estate. So what if we make the story that Higgins has inherited the estate when Robin Masters died, but then HIGGINS dies (I think it's pretty much of a "given" that John Hillerman doesn't want to do any more acting, so we must respect his wishes and leave him out of the cast) and HE leaves the estate to Thomas upon his death. When Thomas comes over, with Lily, he starts investigating Higgins' death and determines that Higgins was murdered, so he has to solve that murder. He brings in TC and Rick to help him, as he usually does.
With Higgins dead, it would make for a perfect reason for lots of flashbacks of him from the show, with different scenes of his interacting in the original show with all the other three regulars from MPI (and even Lily!). So maybe we can have Josh Duhamel as Rick's son, James Lesure as TC's son, and the girl who plays Piper on Las Vegas as Lily (gotta respect those dimples!), and they do a lot of the legwork and mystery solving, with advice and support from the older guys. Maybe we could make a little twist that Rick's son is the helicopter pilot from military service and TC's son is the weapons specialist. They both fall in love with Lily (not seriously, but the way Rick always fell in love with every pretty woman he ever met on the show -- this could even be mentioned), so we appeal to the younger generation for a little light-hearted romantic comedy inserted in the plot -- so we have the usual MPI plot of humor and action. But then at the end, light-heartedly, Lily's REAL fiance shows up (who can we cast here?? Steve Carell as his usual nerdy self for some more humor, but then he does something really smart and clever and wins everyone over so you see why Lily loves him) and the two "sons" fly off into the sunset looking for more adventure as the old fogey fathers exchange looks and just shake their heads.
How's this, to use eeyore's original idea and just play with it a little?

eeyore, oh, of course! That can come out when TM is advised he has inherited Robin's Nest because Higgins is dead and Higgins has the right to bequeath the property because he had inherited it upon Robin's death and "Robin had left Robin's Nest to his half-brother, Jonathan Quayle Higgins." That could produce a quick double-take from TM and then a major eyebrow rise!

http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stori ... 810&EDATE=VIDEO from Medialink and the Smithsonian Institution: Hollywood's Leading Actors and Actresses Star in New Public Service Ads for the National Portrait Gallery's 40th Anniversary
NEW YORK, March 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Actors who have portrayed major
historical figures on the big screen have teamed up to create a public
service announcement.
See video from the Smithsonian Institution at:
http://media.medialink.com/WebNR.aspx?story=34776
Lynn Whitfield who played the role of Josephine Baker in "The Josephine
Baker Story," Beau Bridges who played both P.T. Barnum and Richard Nixon in
"P.T. Barnum" and "Kissinger and Nixon" respectively, Tom Selleck who
played Dwight D. Eisenhower in "Ike," and Gary Sinise who played Harry
Truman in "Truman" are encouraging people to visit the National Portrait
Gallery as it brings visitors face to face with the array of personalities
who've shaped our national identity.
Featuring all of the names listed above, in addition to thousands of
other Americans both great and small, the National Portrait Gallery has
been called the nation's Facebook. It is a place where Americans can
continue the conversation about ourselves, our heritage and our hopes.
The celebrities urge visitors to get to know the historical figures
they portrayed and the many others who have influenced American culture --
from victors and villains to poets and presidents. Some of the major
exhibits opening in 2008 include: RECOGNIZE! Hip Hop and Contemporary
Portraiture; Herblock's Presidents: Puncturing Pomposity; and Ballyhoo!
Posters as Portraiture.

maggiepoole --
You beat me to it! Stumbled across this article at lunch time, but can't do forums and message boards at work, so I had planned to post it here tonight. I had no problem accessing the video. Clicked right on the link imbedded in the article in your post and the TS spot came right on!
