Based on the plot Magnum will probably wear a gshock for first season before series getting cancelled.

Cagney & Lacey? really?

TV has jumped the shark with all these reboots

[meganfox17]

Why Not?Agents Mulder & Scully are back too

No way! I wanna say this is great news but how are you going to replace that perfect original cast. Can’t be done. Love the concept but yea I can’t picture this. The original hit perfectly.

Get ready! Can you still fit into your old police uniform ? The producers might just promote you to Captain this time round....

Agree, hard to imagine this without Tom Selleck,

[raclaims]

Oh man I loved magnum !! Let's hope it's not a disgrace

[THC]

they are also rebooting Murphy Brown ... they ought to make Magnum one of her secretary’s..

[Brenngun]

Speaks to the lack of imagination in regular TV network programming. I liked the original series but please network dumbasses please stop doing this right now. Can someone name me a series re-spin that ended up being as good or as successful as the original one? Some could argue the Star Treks but that depends on what you consider good.

[goin camping]

Noooo, My prediction is...

The new Magnum will drive a Prius and check the time on his cell phone while righting social justice wrongs.

^^^^^This. Hawaii 5-0, MacGyver, and now Magnum PI and Murphy Brown?

Other viable candidates: Mission: Impossible, The Rockford Files et al.

On the other hand, a remake of 'Leave It to Beaver' (but with a different theme/concept) might be entertaining.

Oh! I thought they were doing it with Selleck! If not, I’m out!! I don’t like change!!

A post Robin Masters 'Magnum PI' starring Tom Selleck might work as a periodic 'Made for TV' series but Tom Selleck has commitments to Bluebloods and time constraints may not allow for this option.

To bring in some punk/Millennial actor to portray Thomas Magnum is an abomination as the fictional Thomas Magnum had a noteworthy (Viet Nam era) U.S. Navy military career prior to becoming a private investigator in Hawaii. The same could be said of his associates.

A tattooed Magnum in a 'hoodie' riding a skateboard (in lieu of the Ferrari) while listening to hip-hop music on his iPhone wouldn't quite cut it. Then again, anything is possible as there is no accounting for taste and/or TV viewership.

Married with Children ... Modern Family (sort of).

Married with Children is in a league of its own. Al Bundy was a 'working class' hero and a long-suffering husband/father. A fictional and dysfunctional scenario portrayed at its worst/best.

Modern Family is 'Yuppie-Ville' and their pressing issues are trivial at best. It's kind of hard to feel sorry for a wealthy old fart married to Sofia Vergara or Phil's ongoing neurosis. They can afford to be 'troubled'. Al Bundy had real problems (i.e. a lack of finances, insensitive wife, lousy job/car, questionable offspring and no hope for the future).

Ironically, Ed O'Neill is now on Modern Family.

Thought 'The Office' was a pretty funny show, though it may have been considered an 'adaptation' rather than a reboot.

X3 There was a magic with the first show, IMHO mostly due to the genuineness of Tom Selleck, I am extremely skeptical that can be recreated and am afraid they will try using a millennial as BC describes.

I was a big fan of the Office. Unfortunately they are rebooting this series as well.

I hope the new Magnum doesn't wear short shorts.

Were you actually in the original series or am I missing some inside joke?

I don’t know. They could make Magnum an Iraq/Afghanistan veteran, which could really work.

We don’t all fit your description above.

He was Bas, as an extra in a police station. If I remember correctly, Gaijin was a cop in Honolulu at the time and appeared in a couple episodes as.... a Honolulu cop
