Re: Why not revive Magnum as a mini-series or TV movie?

Have you guys never considered this angle: Lily would be roughly the same age now as Magnum was when the show began. She was born in 1982, so she'd be 34. Magnum was 33. Magnum would be about retirement age now. Maybe he's retired from the Navy, and after the death of Higgy, perhaps the Estate/care ...

Re: Who do you think TM ended up with (romantically)? (SPOIL

What about Cynthia? I mean, there was not a lot of women on the show managing to make Magnum forget about Michelle. Finding a proper naval base in California cannot be this hard, and Cynthia can continue doing her job. But I don't know about her "mom skills" ... I always hoped she'd be the one too....

TM hair question

This is is a screencap from Echoes of the Mind. Excluding any 'Nam era flashback sequences, and his post Echoes of the Mind drinking phase, was TM's hair ever as long as it was here during the show?:

Re: Future of Magnum, P.I. (Aspect Ratio wise?)

Personally, I find it fine to have it zoomed. I don't even notice it and it's just nicer when it fits the whole screen. A remastered version would be very nice to have. Some of the episodes on the DVDs are noticeably dark when it's clearly a sunny day on Oahu. I bet a good cleaning would bring a lo...

Re: Tom with long hair

His wife is pregnant in one photo, his daughter was born in 1989. The pictures are probably from the Quigley Down Under time! The 1993 date could be when the photos were trademarked or registered! Many of the Tux pix say they date from some event for Barbara Sinatra from March 1993. "Tom Selleck du...

Re: Why not revive Magnum as a mini-series or TV movie?

Because they are too old! It would NEVER be the same! They know it, and it's time fans put it to rest! Tom can easily pass for a guy in his 50s and the others don't look too bad. As far as it "wouldn't be the same", the show was moving in a more mature direction the last two years anyway. The show ...

Re: Why not revive Magnum as a mini-series or TV movie?

I agree. I think it would soar. And I also think there's still a very deep, deep well of stories in the Magnum universe. Oh, if only I owned a major television studio! I agree, agree, agree! It definitely would soar. Magnum was huge in its day; to this day, women above 30 consider Tom either an ido...

Tom with long hair

A rare look for Tom, he sported long hair in '93. I don't think in any movies though: http://media.gettyimages.com/photos/tom-selleck-during-bob-hope-birthday-celebration-and-taping-at-nbc-picture-id105859426 http://media.gettyimages.com/photos/tom-selleck-and-jillie-mack-during-barbara-sinatra-rece...

Why not revive Magnum as a mini-series or TV movie?

Let's be honest: I don't think Magnum has enough mainstream appeal to be a motion picture. In 1989, or the early-mid 1990s, definitely. But now? A reboot would not even capture the original series in any way and would just be a lame, horribly done homage/parody (similar to the movie of Starsky and H...

If not for Michelle (spoilers)

If Michelle hadn't been killed, leaving TM as the sole living parent and guardian of Lily, do you think he would ever have re-upped in the Navy? Do you think his life was ultimately headed there and Michelle's death and fatherhood simply hastened it, or was it simply a quick way to provide a stable ...

Who do you think TM ended up with (romantically)? (SPOILERS)

With Michelle dead, Thomas would need a mother for Lily. He realized his parental duties and signed back up for the Navy...Who do you think, out of the women we saw he with, he most likely ended up with?

Why was the finale pushed back to May, 1988?

I was reading when the various seasons/episodes aired. The second to last episode aired in February 1988. Why was the finale delayed until May?

Future of Magnum, P.I. (Aspect Ratio wise?)

I have read that like a lot of shows from the 70s-90s, Magnum was shot on film that was 4:3 in aspect ratio, which accounts for the black bars on the DVDs to look correct on today's 16:9 aspect ratio TVs and PCs. My question is such: Let's say in 30 years, the common aspect ratio is 24:10 or somethi...
