Re: I can't watch this

I have watched 1 and 1/2 episodes. I just can't watch this. What really lost if for me was the character jumping out of the moving car onto the helicopter. I mean come on. And Higgins was able to tie into some satellite to track the "bad guys". There is action and then there is a level of ridiculou...

Re: I can't watch this

I stopped watching at episode 6. I saw the trailer for episode 7 and it was so far fetched I stopped.

If You Removed Everything about Magnum PI ........

If you removed all references to Magnum PI from this so called show, the character names, locations, imagery, etc, would this show be able to stand up on it's own?

Re: Season 1 Episode 3: The Woman Who Never Died (1.3)

That's a good call. Right now the Higgins/Magnum tension/romance thing is (as others have said) cringe worthy. Also, does Higgins do any thing at the estate besides solve Magnum's cases for him? She is like his sidekick. The show is just bad. Again, Jay can't act and the forced introduction of chara...

Re: Season 1 Episode 2: From The Head Down (1.2)

Once again the actor playing Higgins is the best actor on the show. But Hernandez is a dud. He’s like wallpaper paste. It’s brutal watching him. I don’t know if it’s the writing or the direction, but Rick, T.C. and Magnum are all equally bland and interchangeable. Plus the production values are ide...

Re: The Washington Post DESTROYS the reboot

Actually this is a good description of the full episode :roll: "your pilot episode is an uninspired slop of cornball action and opening misfires. You are strewn with too many characters (that original sense of camaraderie now gives off a smarmy whiff of the bromantic) and preoccupied with checking o...

Re: Season 1 Episode 1: I Saw the Sun Rise - Pilot (1.1)

I watched it. I was not impressed. It seems they tried too hard and just over did everything. Too much of an all action theme. Hernandez tries to be the suave playboy and you can see he's forcing it and you can apply that to the whole show - forced. They do no justice to Rick or TC either. The Tanak...

I vaguely remembered TOTGM from my teen years and watched some of it back then. TCM is showing it now and I've tried to watch it again but for some reason I cannot watch a single entire episode. It's like Baa Baa Black Sheep met Fantasy Island and somehow got caught up in a time warp with flashes of...

Noticed this flub 8) When Magnum catches the Grim Reaper closing the safe after removing the will, he tells him to put it down which he does, on the mantle. The Reaper refuses to move away from the safe and then shortens Magnum's walking stick before knocking him over and leaving the room..............

Another flub.

Whilst Barrymore and Fairbanks are duelling we hear the piano being played by Archer Hayes. As Magnum stands next to the piano talking to Archer he continues playing but the board is raised and we can see inside the piano to the keys which are not moving!

Anyone else notice that Magnum's closet under the steps has a light in it? When he runs into it to hide from Higgins and his scimitar you can see the inside is lit when he opens the door.

Here's a flub...... Ellison shoots Rick and is in turn shot by Magnum. Magnum goes over to check on Rick. Look closely and you will notice that Rick is lying on what appears to be some sort of carpet that has been placed upside down on the grass. Rick is lying on his back with his right leg pulled u...

Here's a flub of sorts..........have'nt seen it mentioned so here goes; When Magnum leaves Agatha Kimball's house (can't remember if it's after the 1st or 2nd visit) it appears that TC's Island Hoppers van is parked outside. You can see the color scheme in a brief blur behind Magnum as he drives past.
