Several people on here predicted this when the pilot orders were announced last week.

Hollywood is now literally saying “Whites Need Not Apply” to several of their lead roles. Why not allow actors of all races and ethnicities to audition and pick the best actor for the role? Had these rules been in place in the past, most of the classic TV series would have had very different casts.

If they cast Selleck as Higgins, I’d watch at least on episode.

Is everything a reboot?
No wonder nobody watches ABC/CBS/NBC anymore.

Wait a minute! You mean Cagney and Lacey are not gonna be a couple of lesbos?

Hollywood has officially run out of ideas.
If it was being rebooted today, Hawaii 5-0 would make McGarrett a lesbian and Danno a trannie.
But for the most part this whole knock-off, prequel, sequel, reboot, and relaunch trend just shows creativity is all but dead. Movies *and* TV.

Or that the creative people just don't belong to the union.

Magnum P.U. more likely. Will they have his chopper flying buddy be a white gay transexual. Plot for an early episode has Magnum fighting for his gay buddy’s right to use the little girls room at Target.

They are eliminating white people in the ads, too. Every white person has a black child

“ABCs The Greatest American Hero is re-imagining Steven J. Cannells 1981 cult classic, in which the unlikely (super)hero at the center Ralph Hinkley was played by William Katt. In the reboot, it is Meera, an Indian American woman.”
Oh, for crying out loud. They have to ruin everything.

Cagney was married to a Black Hispanic guy from
Roots.
Or maybe it was Lacey.
I don't think they referred to that in the show.

This must be because 80% of the US population is black, 50% are gay, and 60% are trannies.
Of course.

You can expect the new Higgins to be even more flamboyantly gay than the last one.

I wonder how African Americans will feel about a black Magnum working as a servant on a large estate for a white Robin Master?
