Perdita Weeks To Star As Juliet Higgins

[Snip] It wasn’t as solid of a night for CBS, though. The premiere of the final season of “The Big Bang Theory” scored only a 2.4 in the demo, down around 40% from its premiere last year and from the 2.7 average of its previous season. “Young Sheldon” (1.7) suffered an even greater year-to-year drop, falling 2.1 points from its series premiere and also down from its first season average (2.2).
The series premiere of “Magnum P.I.” fell 0.5 from its “Young Sheldon” lead-in, and scored a low 1.2 in the 9 p.m. hour, while “Bull” returned to a 0.9 – also down from its previous season premiere (1.3) and average (1.2).

Die, CBS, Die!
In an interview, Jay Hernandez who plays Magnum, mentioned that there could be a romantic plot in the show between Magnum and Higgins.
That’s when I knew the show was doomed.
Tom Seleck IS Magnum............AND JIM WEST IS NOT BLACK!!!!
I caught last half of Manifest and it was pretty cool....and I'm hard to please, as I have not followed ANY TV series in a long time.....perhaps since 24's Jack Bauer.
Manifest sounds interesting.
No dice on the new Magnum.
I saw the pilot at CBS studios last February, and everyone in the room HATED IT. Yes, I was in the same room where product pilots are shot and they invite only Tv producers who are in the game.
Then the producer has to “explain” the pilot while the rest of us stood silent without giving a vibe. Moonves was not in the room (or by sat feed) which was a sign it was not going to work. plus the star is a homo. (Some of the guys in the room knew it)
Are you serious????? I’m glad I missed it. When I heard a remake was coming out I knew it could never be as great as the original.
The lead of Magnum PI is gay.
Perfect.
Magnum carries a leafblower and the musical intro has an oom-pah-pah background beat to it, including “Ai..!” interjections.
The Ferrari dash features a fluorescent Jesus figurine.
Watched it … was OK. Started episode driving a Lada 5 thru the NK jungle being chased by baddies that were firing semi autos at him from a Chinese deuce, so he spun the car around and pumped 3-4 shots with a handgun into the transport and it exploded. Totaled 2 Ferrari’s over the course of the episode, had some bad guys that were seemingly smarter and stronger than anyone they came against (how did they know Magnum would park a car that was not his and which he had not driven before where he did so they could ambush him … and how did they follow him when he went out on the boat). Remember and liked the original … maybe I am just old, but the plot holes are significant … just like every other show on TV today. The new Higgins will be much more watchable than the old one however. :)
Big Bang Theory was awful last night. It had been slowly going downhill but to have a season premiere be so unfunny was a disaster, IMO. With scripts like that, now wonder Parsons decided that this season will be his last, effectively ending the series altogether.
Young Sheldon was mostly mediocre. Last year, that was the only new sitcom that got on my watch list, but if this season doesn’t improve quickly, I’ll dump it.
I thought season premieres for both 9 1 1 and The Resident were both very good.
It has sort if a Twilight Zone vibe so far, with a touch of Field of Dreams, so we will see how it plays out.
As long as they don't go full LIBTARD I'll give it a shot.
I never watch any Network Dramas, so this is an outlier for me.
HOW would one EVER guess..?!
Why don't they tone things down and have him strut around in Daisey Dukes..?
Higgins was buggering Magnum all along. Why do you think he had some guy with an absurd mustache living in his “guest” house and wearing shorts around the pool.
They will.
I remember discovering the original Magnum on a Thursday night in December 1981. And then the following Friday night, I’d watch The Dukes of Hazzard. With this PC tripe posing as “Magnum”, it seems even more long ago when I watched shows like the above on CBS (not to mention Bob Barker still giving away fur coats on The Price is Right, lol).
“Big Bang Theory was awful last night”
Time to euthanize that mess. Glad it’s the last season. The Sheldon character has been too tedious to watch for a couple of years now.
