I think Blue Bloods has potential but what I couldn't get over was how a native New Yorker like TS's character is supposed to be doesn't have a NY accent. But Wahlberg's character does?!

It didn't make sense. We'll see what happens. It's great to see TS on TV again every week but I hope this show gets better. Won't be around long if it doesn't.

Just my $.02,

Bill

Blue Bloods will definitely be a must watch TV in our household. But honestly, I think TS will be a background character, with the majority of episodes concentrating on his "children".

He is on Letterman tonight 11:30.

What westerns was Selleck in? I think I only know of one.

Great clips!!! I remember an interview Charlie Rose did with Selleck years ago and recall seeing the clip of Tom dunking his head in the tank of water. I have always wondered what that was all about and now I know. By the way, I caught TS on Letterman last night and was a bit upset on what I thought was a surly attitude by Letterman and the shortness of the interview. Interesting how much Letterman has changed from those Late night days to now.............

Thank you ConchRepublican. I appreciate it, I will look them up and find out where I can see some of them.

This may have already been mentioned here, but Turner Classic Movies will be airing Daughters of Satan tonight at 4:00am. (Well, technically, tomorrow morning!)

Meanwhile, in case anyone missed it, Terminal Island was recently given a spiffy new treatment on dvd.

Who says Selleck didn't have a thriving career before Magnum?!

Great collection of Selleck clips TM! Thanks!

Shermy, good to see you again. I missed Daughters of Satan, but thanks for the "heads up". I'm not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing that I missed it.

Awesome list of youtube clips! I think these deserve a thread of their own. It's really great to have them laid out with the brief explanation.

Thanks TM!

I agree with Styles. How about connecting it to the Magnum Mania home page under CAST: Selleck's work/achievements. That is a great list!
Sorry James!
