Magnum Mania!

Thanks Agatha & Sophia. I wondered if they were leaving it open for a future storyline, but I guess not.

There was a Magnum reference on tonight's episode. Frank's secretary (or whatever she is) brought him a "cheeseburger-plain."

it would appear Esposito is done.........they are trying out new partners, but Jennifer keeps running her mouth about how she was treated unfairly. Can't see that ending well.....at least not for now and if they partner Danny with someone the audience likes, buh bye.

That's too bad, I loved the dynamic of the partnership between Espositio and Wahlberg. She oozed Brooklyn/New York attitude and there always seemed to be an incredible chemistry between the two that both held in bay. There could have been some intersting story lines (like when Jennifer went undercover as an escort and Danny saved her at the last minute).

I really like Jennifer Esposito's character on the show. She fit really well with Donnie Wahlberg and their chemistry was excellent. She added a . . . smoldering if you will . . . to the show. She wasn't set up overly sexy, but it came through.

I was concerned initially about her departure and perhaps it had to do with Jennifer herself (she seemed to be in and out of a lot of shows in the past starting with Spin City). Then I heard about the Celiac's and felt bad for her and hoped they could work things out.

Now I read about her comments about the Megan Boone addition/audition ... "CBS got rid of the only minority cast member so they can have an ALL WHITE CAST like CSI.". and I'm back to concerned.

She's of Italian descent According to her Wikipedia page, unless she's talking about the character?

Since I know Wikipedia isn't always the best research resource I went to imdb.com:
Personal Quote: [on her ethnic background] Well, I'm Italian, but my family isn't stereotypical. I mean, I only have one sister and we don't yell or throw pasta at each other. My mother doesn't even have a secret spaghetti sauce recipe

There's something amiss at the Circle K . . .

Since the departure of Esposito I have lost some interest and occasionally miss an episode, however, I highly recommend watching the last twenty seconds of last nights episode (2-8-13). I will not spoil anything other than to say that it shows exactly what I love about Selleck and have said since the Magnum,pi days, he can tear your heart apart without uttering a single word. With the slightest of facial expressions he can do more than many actors would need a page of dialogue to convey.......

New season starts tonight! I remember when Blue Bloods premiered. All the hype was on Hawaii Five-O! Now they have moved it to Friday nights, a led-in for Blue Bloods! Not because Blue Bloods needs help, I believe they did this to try and help Hawaii Five-O!

I DVR'd it to watch later but did catch the first 15 minutes last night. I still think Donnie Wahlberg is one of the best actors on a series right now. It's a shame there are so many good shows on with many great actors causing many performances to get lost in the woods at awards time.............

Anyone see this one? There may be a mention of it elsewhere on the Forums, but I tried here first because he was on the show due to the BB connection. Interesting talk re his new dog, MPI story re Sinatra, a couple of goofy MPI laughs (well, I guess they're really Selleck laughs). But he sure looks physically uncomfortable sitting there, constantly adjusting position, tugging on his clothes -- something sure seemed to be chafing . . . . .

Awesome!

Love this show. I noted the reference to the film classic "Bridge On The River Kwai" by Tom Selleck's character. Interesting it was mentioned in several MPI episodes. We all remember Higgins had a replica of the bridge which he painstakenly constructed and re constructed throughout the series. Its destruction by Magnum in "Paper War" being the most hilariously memorable. My Jesse Stone collection is with a friend at present so I cannot check through these. I seem to recall that Jesse Stone was watching the film during one of the JS episodes. Am I wrong ?

In any event I am just wondering was it a script writer or personal input perhaps by TS that is common to all three series

TFK,

I think you're right about the Tom Selleck input. I have the Jesse Stones and there are so many times where I think "That came from Magnum!"

I haven't watched Blue Bloods... But perhaps I will once I catch up in a few things!

January 17th episode: Karen Allen guest stars. This is something of a "Raiders of the Lost Ark" reunion that could have been! (If TS played the role of Indiana Jones of course!!)

I was thinking what a lucky gal Karen Allen is working with both Tom Selleck and Harrison Ford!

It was another powerfull, emotional episode, they seem to be concentrating more on Wahlberg and Selleck this season. For the life of me I can't understand how this series doesn't garner any recognitition from the Awards Shows (at least to Donnie Wahlberg). Everyone I know loves the show and it even got to the point on a Saturday local call in radio program discusing TV shows where TV the critic had to tell folks enough on the Blue Bloods calls to let other people in to talk about their favorite TV series.
