I understand what you're saying, and agree that for most I'm sure a gig is a gig, and like Selleck said, he knows how hard it is to make it in the business.Laohu wrote:I really don’t expect a guest spot from TS and to tell you the truth unless it was at the end of the series and we got all the surviving members of both cast for the send off then I don’t think it is worth it . I really don’t think there is this big grudge about them rebooting his show if so Larry would not be coming on next season and Roger would not have already done a guest spot . These guys are pros they have all been at it a long time they understand the bussiness aspect of it . I think they have made peace with it and are enjoying the rebirth of something they were apart of I can understand wanting to create this artificial drama and friction but these guys are actors they are well paid for there talents and they understand that is the way the TV bussiness goes .
Whenever Magnum get’s rebooted for 3rd time interviewers will be coming to Jay to ask him about it and I am sure he will have a polished answer for them as well . Both Actors know that Magnum was a big break for them and are respectful of that .
That said, considering his previous positions regarding Magnum, P.I., and how protective he has been regarding the show, it seems to me, reading between the lines, that he wasn't happy with the idea but appreciated the courtesy and respect given him. I see it almost like the person being fired being given the opportunity to announce their resignation. At the end of the day, blocking it would reflect badly on his character and the reputation he has built for himself.
I'm just going by the years and years of his taking a different position regarding anything Magnum, P.I. not including him and the original cast.
