I think it's Mad Dogs and Englishmen (season 6).

When CBS renewed nu-MacGyver for a fourth season, they only ordered 13 episodes. They also removed it from its usual Friday night spot, to make way for nu-Magnum. CBS have now ordered 9 more episodes of MacGyver to make a full season, and they are removing Magnum from the schedule and putting Macgyv...

I think it's debatable that "the female demographic" was watching the show merely to see Selleck take off his shirt. He was an enormous sex symbol at the time. He was all over magazines and on talk shows. I use "take his shirt off" to mean see a very attractive guy. This is anecdotal for sure, but ...

We've had the reboot in England since the new year. It's on one of the pay channels so I haven't seen the first four episodes, but I watched this one the other night at a friend's house, and I wasn't impressed. The constant jingly jangly music in every scene really got on my nerves. Music is suppose...

Happy Birthday to Mr Selleck, the one and only true Thomas Magnum.

I think it's a given that it will be 'teamy'. I remember reading about an interview with Richard Dean Anderson where he said that, when he was making MacGyver, he was in practically every frame of every scene. His working day was ridiculously long, and I'm sure it must have been the same for Tom Sel...

This, to me, just seems like Lenkov/CBS sticking to their nu-MacGyver formula of a four-person team with a quirky female boss. I can't really see the point of the character, but time will tell I suppose.

Gun fights, car chases, explosions - yep, that's exactly what I expected from Lenkov. You could swap nu-TM, TC, Rick and Juliette with nu-Mac, Bozer, Jack and Riley and no-one would notice.

This article from The Guardian nails it pretty good. Magnum PI, for crying out loud. Is nothing sacred? Sure, on the surface, the original Magnum PI was just one of a glut of post-Vietnam shows about vigilante justice with a charismatic male lead and storylines that wrapped up neatly at the top of ...

I don't see how "disavowed former MI:6 agent Juliet Higgins" can work. One of the main threads in the show is the relationship between Magnum and Higgins - the former soldiers (Vietnam and WW II) and the quasi father figure Higgins provides for Thomas whose father was a pilot who was shot down in K...

Having seen a few episodes of the rebooted MacGyver, I really really hope this doesn't happen. Lenkov is the last person on earth I would want anywhere near a Magnum reboot.

The rebooted MacGyver is going to have a crossover episode with rebooted Hawaii 5-0.

I can't help thinking how much better a Magnum-Original H50 crossover would have been....

A bad episode of Magnum is better than 90% of the current crapola on American tv. I agree. There are some episodes I'm less keen on than others, but even those have something good in them. Very often, it's a scene between Thomas and Higgins, or it might just be Thomas wearing my favourite shirt (th...

This isn't about the crossover episode but last night I saw a 1991 episode of Murder She Wrote with Jameson Parker as a guest star but not as A.J. Simon. Does anyone know if Gerald McRaney ever guest starred on Murder She Wrote??? According to imdb, he was in a 1995 episode called A Quaking in Aspe...

My view is that I'd prefer it if they left well alone and didn't try to make any kind of reboot/re-imagining/sequel. However, if ABC/Universal are so determined to follow the trend and reboot Magnum, then a sequel with Lily is the least of all evils. But if they rebooted Magnum in the same way as th...
