Watched Monday night. Not impressed. Ended up keeping up with the Q drops on Free Republic before the show was 20 minutes old.
Don’t like the new Magnum, didn’t care for the new TC, Higgins has crazy eyes and the Fast and Furious stupid car chase scenes were just that - stupid.
When they first started talking about a Magnum reboot a couple years ago, it was about Magnum’s daughter Lily coming back to Hawaii and being the “Magnum”. So many more opportunities to tie it back to the old show, the old characters and still be up-to-date.
I guess on Monday nights I’ll just put an old Magnum PI in the DVD and watch that.
Having read all of the Jack Reacher books...I feel the same way about Tom Cruise playing that role....there is a pussification of men going in in Hollywood. I’ll watch John Wayne reruns.
“...I would hate to see a remake of My Three Sons’, bet they would screw that up in 1 minute...”
Even worse...I can’t bear to imagine it....SeeBS makes a remake of GUNSMOKE.
Yeah, the owner is a front for Obama.
The location isn’t great though. It was beautiful but right next to the main highway, so security would be a nightmare, either for Obama or the road constantly being blocked.
Having watched this now on the CBS site, I just rolled my eyes. The new Magnum is a small, overweight pudgy Hispanic guy who disguises his weight by wearing too large white tent shirts. Political correctness everywhere, they have to pointedly state right at the beginning that he was once considering getting married (to send the signal he’s not gay).
My guess is they are actually going to make the new She Higgins the primary actor in the series and Magnum will end up being her helper.
P.C. ruins all that it touches.
He’s really taking a hit for the team.
Just his recounting of the characters and plot made me ill.
Pathetic pandering.
