Yeah, I was surprised that he was older than he looked too.

Amen to that.

Interesting, will put in my list to watch.

So Jeff McKay played three roles in MPI...Ski the Marine gate guard, Mac, and Jim. Gillian Dobb also played two characters during the series run...was there any other recurring actors that played multiple characters? I guess Kathleen Lloyd as Carol Baldwin and the woman trying to get her late fathe...

Yeah, agree on the Spenser reboot. There were some funny bits in it, but overall, it is something we've seen over and over many times before, and definitely not Urich's Spenser. So now I'm thinking about other more obscure shows from the 80s that fit this mold. A big one that comes to mind is Sting...

That is absolutely correct, Edward Woodward will always be The Equalizer. Loved the show so I bought the DVD, even if some of the original music was replaced.

Just like the FIVE-O reboot which actually ran for 10 seasons but is pretty much forgotten now (not that people talked about it when it was on). Now, if Jay Hernandez becomes some kind of a break-out star (a la Will Smith or something) and embarks on a major movie career then maybe his version of M...

I don't think Magnum PI will ever be surpassed by the original. I'm in the thought that although the reboot has the same named characters and setting, it's a different show. There is a different feel to it, but they tried to replicate in in the first season.

One of the aspects that I always liked was the implication of the supernatural in the show once in a while. Wasn't this one of the few times there was a continuity in the show. Almost feels like a three ...

You guys are right. It was better when they had a purpose to find his son and deal with the Black Dragons. I have to look for The Exile. Never heard of it. Thanks for that.

Yeah, only Tom and Larry left. RIP Roger.

Thanks for posting this. So sorry to hear about Roger E. Mosley's passing.

I liked how the Magnum/Higgins dynamic evolved from the beginning to the end of the series. I liked the later seasons when Higgins was more helpful to Magnum.

As great having pristine colors of the bluray set, I'm going have to stay with the dvd set. Ed [/quote] Totally understand...I have all the original season DVD sets, and even if I do end up getting the Blu-ray set at some point, I’ll always still keep my DVDs...for various reasons. :wink: [/quote] S...
