Who’s watching tonight?
Who’s watching the reboot premiere tonight?
My essay "In Country: Place and Historical Connection in Magnum PI", about the importance of the Honolulu/Vietnam connection in the show:

Re: Who’s watching tonight?
In my position as Majordomo of this site and sometime radio & TV guest as the Magnum, P.I. Superfan, I feel I have an obligation to watch it so I can tear it apart intelligently.
Were I not the bearer of such heavy burdens I would prefer watching a fish tank.

Re: Who’s watching tonight?
I was going to post a similar thread.
I'll watch, maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow via Hulu or cbs.com.
I don't expect much. I expect to hate it. I expect that it's going to be ridiculously overdone, requiring tremendous levels of suspension of disbelief. I expect it to be completely PC.
Hopefully I'm surprised. We'll know before long.

Re: Who’s watching tonight?
Of course I will watch!
Have you ever passed a car crash on the road without slowing down to take a look?
I'm predicting that in spirit it will be very much like Five-Zero. Lenkov will just do lots of copy-and-paste from that show to this show. At least one thing I can count on is some beautiful scenery in HD. That's about the only plus I can think of. That's the only thing Five-Zero has going for it.
So yes, I will watch at least the pilot and then scoff... "Tomas-Hernandez, you are just short schoolboy using schoolboy tricks. I had you pegged as impostor for 3 months and still you crack jokes."

I will be watching, hoping against all hope that it is not as bad as I expect it to be. But I am prepared to be disappointed.

Still undecided at 6:34pm.
Magnum jumping from orbit in a space suit?
Oh My God!

Knocking my rubber chicken or my sloppy habits is within the rules, but you're attacking my character. I would like to think you don't mean that.
Re: Who’s watching tonight?
I'll be watching with low expectations but an open mind.
Re: Who’s watching tonight?
Nope. I am however watching the original (And ONLY) Magnum PI every Thursday night as I have the entire 8 seasons

I'm thinking about it. Being on the Left Coast, I was hoping to get the input from the Ultimate Magnum Fan, or the Maniacs further to the east.

So far, the vibe I was expecting. Man, Higgins is hot! (Never thought I'd write that)
