And my point is...if he's not a has-been in your circle...or mine...or the many people who just plain like Tom Selleck and the many, many people watch Jesse Stone movies...WHY DOESN'T ANYBODY LISTEN TO US??? :lol: for one..........people don't pay to watch Jesse Stone..........so you have to bring ...

it was silly to have an exact look a like be a non-relative. The episode he was introduced seemed to leave us hanging for a while as we watched Magnum try to deduce the Mac resurrection........but the payoff was a downer of sorts as Mac was not alive, and having him be some street urchin con man see...

tv might be more realistic..................if say an average movie ticket is $8.00..........do you realize how many need to be sold to make the movie a worthwhile venture? Not knowing the production costs......let's just say a $50,000,000 box office take (gross)for the movie would put them in the b...

lol......didn't see the comments a few posts above my last that also mentioend the website.

Magnum PI is generally considered a show that did NOT jump the shark. There was a site dedicated to this label (jumptheshark.com).......I think it's defunct now.

yes........

maybe this helps Selleck's case........MacGyver is coming to the big screen with Richard Dean Anderson.

i would not watch it with out the o.g cast. do we really need another spooff like starky & hutch? boy that was a upgrade.. :roll: no, but at least there was the payoff at the end seeing the originals.....and in seeing them........it was clear they couldn't pull off a story on their own.......David ...

I have to concur...............direction of a movie or tv version won't be put in the hands of anyone but a uber-qualified individual..................and therein lies the catch 22...........it costs money to get those people. everything still comes back to whether or not studio suits 'believe' a ge...

it's ALWAYS been about the studio having control over the rights..........and their collective opinion on whether or not Tom Selleck could be a big screen success with Magnum. As the years have gone by........that opinion has no doubt lessened as his age becomes a factor. Studio execs will have a ha...

TV does suck for the most part these days, and I enjoyed watching Magnum on Slueth even though I have most of the seasons. I hope they bring it back eventually. Maybe they could run CHiPs as well. Another show I remember watching from my youth. ah yes CHiPS...........the weekly shine off Estrada's ...

I had to look twice to make sure the ship firing the guns wasn't stock footage from Buck Rodgers or battlestar Galactica....

Nice spot on Grady Walker at the wedding Artie . ...what I HATED about it was the lack of the Thomas Magnum voiceover........to me that was an essential piece of the show. Was there a more classic line than "I know what you're thinking" ? The lack of the voiceover left me then with a feeling of sec...

In my opinion, seasons 7 & 8 were the worst seasons. The show became a characature of itself with an obvious "how do we wrap this thing up so Selleck can go and do movies" feel . (I will admit there were some great epis in seasons 7 & 8, however) I liked the seasons in this order: 4 5 6 3 2 1 7 8 M...

I am positive the Wiki page for Magnum was at one time a lot more detailed than it is now......it seems to have shrunk over the past 1-2 years........the background info on the show and characters was more extensive. It seems that as the movie news went stale, so did the interest in maintaining a mo...
