Like it...hate....or anything in between....am glad they are keeping a record of it happening:

Still waiting for the insurance co. to find an exact replacement for the "iconic" 308GTS!

I think the upcoming season WILL be better than the first, (at least I have hopes), but it's still just a gut reaction when Jay says, "I'm Thomas Magnum"...to say in my head...."No you're not." Not sure that will ever go away.

If it lasts the 8 seasons that the original did, and has anywhere near the following it does, in 20 or 30 years somebody seeing a rerun OF the original, will say the same thing when TS says it!

After all, everything IS a matter of perspective....at one level.

You'd think in a beau coup expensive production they could have sprung for an iron and ironing board. The cop especially looks disheveled.
Not even Scrung-o looked so cruddy when he was in his prison cell. Perdita's line in this scene is "Next to you lot the Bowery Boys look
like Beau Brummel."

Linen suits look like that - particularly when worn for some minutes

Now that's a wine cellar!!!!!!!! It puts the original wine cellar to shame -WOW!
You come down the stairs to a landing with a few comfy chairs and some wine followed by at least three gated rooms FULL of wine.....my guess is the deeper you go into the cellar and the more gates you walk through, the more expensive the wine gets. They did a nice job on that set.....the gates, stonework, lighting -well done. The first two sets of gates might have R and M on them......I caught a quick glimpse of what looks to be a M on the right side of each set, so I'm guessing the left ones have R.....too dark down there to confirm.

Higgins wearing a trench/rain coat in Hawaii to go to London in was stupid......no need for it, plus it was sunny in that scene.

The Higgins/Magnum relationship is starting to blossom....even the lawyer lady can see it in Juliette's eyes.

Magnum popping a wheelie on the motorbike at high speed and then letting the bike land into the get away van while landing on his feet is taking it too far again....keep more real and not so over the top.

I would like to see a few episodes with Higgins doing MI6 work and Magnum coming to her aid.....it looks as though she is going to moonlight with Magnum though. Speaking of Moonlighting.....Magnum and Higgins back and forth remind me a bit of Willis and Shepherd in Moonlighting. Does anyone else see it or is it just me?

German Free TV have started airing Season 2 last Wednesday.
We have 2 episodes every Wednesday here.

I haven‘t watched Season one here in german but what stroke me is that Magnum and Higgins are now on „informal terms“ in german.

In german language, you can address a person in two ways:

1. Formally - which you are usually using for strangers and higher ranking people and clients in business.
You properly address them with „Mr./Mrs XX“, but when it‘s getting more relaxed, you use the first name, but still in the formal language

2. Informally, where we are using the eqivilent of „you“ and use the first name only.

The original dubbing, Magnum and Higgins where on formal terms, but left away the „Mr“
Season 2 of the reboot, Magnum and friends are on informal terms, are calling each other only on first names and „you“ which is very strange in my eyes because parts of the magic (Original and Reboot) lays in a kind of formal distance between Magnum and Higgins.

I don‘t really like that they have been crossing that line with the german dubbing
