Thanks!

I stayed away in droves.

Tom Selleck on Cheers would have been cool since Ted Danson was in an early episode of Magnum P.I. Tom could have played an ex-teammate of Sam's that had a rivalry of some sort with him...maybe over bedding the most women or topping each others practical jokes or maybe both things.

Crash and burn, lame imitators.

Donald Bellisario discusses this episode

Best line from this episode: Buzz Benoit:(talking to Higgins and his nephew, explaining the "improvments" he is planning for Robin's Nest when he takes over)

"Mickey, we'll build a pleasure pool...with a series of love canals!"

I humbly suggest from this point on we refer to this dumpster fire of a reboot as "fake magnum".

I dislike the reboot even more after seeing previews. I am rooting for a quick cancellation.

ENSHealy, too bad this site doesn't have "likes". I enjoyed your post.

Selleck is so gracious. He is the ultimate gentleman. I am so pleased he'll have nothing to do with that ill-conceived travesty.

Speling is harrd!

That's because it's a TV insider term. Programmers are dirty buggers.

The more I saw of the new show the worse it looked to me. I will not be watching. Fast and Furious movies are something I've actively avoided...forcing that style of storytelling into a reboot of a favorite classic show only serves to enrage me. I'm hoping it dies quickly and is soon forgotten.

That is called "hammocking".
