They renewed it

Having read the posts, I must ask this simple question: Is the state of network programming so bad, that the current television line up is made to look good? I heard put another way: Is this the best worst option that we have?

Thanks to the internet there are enough books, movies, old tv shows, and older radio shows out there that there is zero excuse to watch network tv. Network tv is garbage. It has been garbage, with a few exceptions, since it was created.

Instead of "hate watching" a crappy rehash of Magnum or some mindless sitcom, why not try to find A) something new and original or B) watch a classic show that you haven't watched in years?

There are tons of interesting old shows available on dvd and illegal pirate trackers. There are countless free books legally available via Project Guttenberg. Free music on Youtube. Free radio shows on the Internet Archive.

Too many options to worry about watching Mini-Mag, reality tv, or a Tim Allen sitcom.

Agree with this. It's an embarrassment of riches for people looking for stories in all kinds of media. Life's too short for hate watching, or even dislike watching.

It's winter. The hate keeps me warm at night.

Well, it is cold lately. Go on, then.

Not surprised at all. They need a show in Hawaii, and 5-0 can´t stay on forever.

I hate everything about miniMagnum, it's wooden, uninteresting, horribly acted... PC, a perfect show in 21st Century Scumerica.

When miniMagnum got started and there were a few episodes to mull over I was curious what the critics were saying, true-to-form, an author of one opinion piece concluded the show is pretty bad and an opportunity was missed by not spending more time on miniMagnum's Hispanic heritage. I kinda like the sound of George Lopez, P.I.. Yeah, we don't spend enough time on the tone of one's skin already. I can't remember the last time one's level of melanin has been primary in our public discourse.

I don't know anything obout miniMagnum... after reading his Twitter feed he seems like a DDIIKK. He'll likely have a long and lustrous career in WhollyWeird.

Agreed.

Yes, this bugs me. WAY off topic but wife was watching Grammys last night. I kept hearing it's time to "break down the barriers" in music. Umm, when I was a kid MJ, Lionel Richie, Prince, Whitney Houston won ALL the Grammys. I just don't get it I guess.

He is a real peach.

If it was Good 'Ol George, all of the 'bad guys' would be white, and he would keep a tally at the end of the show of how many he killed.

Still trying to understand why Ariana Grande complains about being objectified.

Do a YouTube search for Ariana Grande and Bill Clinton .

Hmm, I guess you won't be watching next week?

I think you are conflating the show with the actor a bit. I have yet to see Jay Hernandez's Twitter feed, but I doubt that's related to whether or not the show is "wooden, uninteresting, horribly acted." Unless, that is, he's taking an active role behind the scenes or in the writing room. You may be right about his having a long career in showbiz, though.

Also, presenting someone with Hispanic heritage doesn't equal making melanin the primary aspect. There are lots of people who are both Hispanic and white. Skin colour could be part of a storyline if necessary, but my guess is that it would be more interesting to focus on cultural elements.

These reboot forum pages are remarkable for the strong feelings they are provoking. It's rare to go to see a fan site for a show and see 9/10 comments ripping on it. Obviously this site wasn't meant for the reboot, but it shares the name (minus a comma), so there are bound to be some folks who show up here after watching the reboot. They may be in for a surprise.
