 As for Selleck, he dated a friend's sister and she was really hot. He was a man about town back then, but not the lothario/playboy people thought he was.

Little trivia....
The lady whose bikini bottom Magnum takes a quick stare at in the opening credits is North Shore regular Shirley Rogers who is/was often seen shooting surfing photos many of which made it onto the top mags. Shirley appears in the opening title sequence of every Magnum P.I. episode. Where Magnum is shown teaching her how to snorkel. The iconic image of Shirley cradled in Magnum's arms as he sneaks a peek at her rear end is quite possibly the most recognized scene from the series. The scene is originally from the episode Magnum, P.I.: Three Minus Two (1982).

There's no actor I know of who had Tom Selleck's panache in that role...none. And there never will be. Just stop.

Also watch the new show, McGarret and Dano play well off each other. I have a bad habit of picking out logical mistakes in the multitude of cop shows we DVR. Unfortunately the new H50 has a lot of them... but the bikini's make up for it They also get some great cameo's

I made it through season 3 on Netflix before they dropped it.
Why'd they drop it? This new one will be crap. The new magnum looks like the new Higgins compared to the original Tom Seleck. Girly man.

What we all remember as the theme for Magnum.
What the theme was originally. I remember as a lad, ripping around Honolulu with my buddies playing the Magnum theme song on our cassette players.

If you wouldn't have watched Gilligan playing Thomas Magnum in the original, then you won't watch the new reboot Magnum pi.

I think they would stick Zoe Saldana in the role of Rockford. Has to be completely different you know. Just keep the name so it sounds familiar.
Kind of like serving a steak but one made out of fruit and soy.

Again....you will never find another actor like Tom Selleck or James Garner - they are unicorns....
Which is why the series' did so well and are so unique. The big picture is we are in a different time now. Our civilization has devolved. Much is relied upon through machinery and gizmos...not by human endeavour and character. It's just the way it is. Some actors will never be 'duplicated' or 'replaced' or even simulated. Think Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, and Tom Hanks. Newcomers are Chris Pine and Chris Pratt. There are others but regardless the TV shows" will never have the same quality because we are in a different time. Hell...even the cars they make now suck.....that alone makes a huge difference. YMMV....

Hollywood has ruined battlestar galactica, Star Wars, alien and most of the rest of my childhood.
I live in terror that they will remake big trouble in little China.

So, they will remake African Queen but it will be set on an airliner and the plot will involve a casino heist and it won't be missionaries but ex-cons.
Gone With the Wind will be a gay couple in LA in the 80s. Big Tourble in Little China will have Shia LaBeouf as the main character set in San Antonio near the Mexican market.

This is the demolition of Robin's Nest.
It's sad to watch this come to an end. I've been to the location a few times and glad to have seen it before this took place. |

I'm not even going to bother looking up a Magnum PI reboot.
The A team reboot movie already showed us the reality : It don't work.
