The pilot began with Magnum conducting a HALO (High Altitude Low Opening) parachute jump from the International Space Station into North Korea, where he rescues a doctor and his family after a chase a la Fast and Furious.
I hope this is satire.

Magnum without Tom Selleck is like 24 without keifer sutherland. Why even try? I know there’s a lot of drug use in hollyweird but still...

If they did a remake of My Three Sons surely one of the boys would have to be a homosexual and Dad and Step-mom would be approving of him. I’m so glad I do not believe in watching remakes of movies or television series.

I thought the same thing. Sloppy writing? Lol
Could have been camp but the rest of the show wasn’t much better.

...why do you need the stealth of doing a HALO jump (from spaaaaaaaace!) when you have a helicopter just a couple miles away to provide support and escape? Because it's COOL!

They seem to reside in a sanitized estate that looks more like the Ritz Carlton Diamond Head, then than someones house.There, fixed it!

Original opening sequence. It lasted only for four or five episodes, and was replaced by the more dramatic “Helicopter” opening.

The concept of Hernandez sporting the name Magnum is about as asinine as Denzel playing the Red Baron, or Fernando Lamas starring in an off Broadway hit as Winston Churchill; but hey, its 2018 and were all supposed to swallow diversity, regardless of how stupid it looks and sounds.
George P. Bush? William Blaine "Bill" Richardson III?
Heck -- Cruz, Rubio and Beto O'Rourke?
Not to mention South Americans like Bernardo O'Higgins, Jorge Edwards, Eduardo Hughes (Galeano).
There's been a lot of mixing going on.
The show may be garbage, but you can't always tell by a name who's coming to dinner.

“It had the credibility of Mr. Ed.”
i take it that means you didn’t think Mr. Ed was really talking ...

“I would hate to see a remake of My Three Sons, bet they would screw that up in 1 minute...”
yeah, the three “sons” would probably all be chicks that had sex change operations ...

I never liked the early opening. Been watching interviews on You Tube about the ep “Did You See The Sunrise?” One of the best that they did.

Another TV show I won’t be watching. Thank God for “SpongeBob Square Pants”.

The #1 reason I used to watch Magnum was for the eye candy...

Tom Selleck is Magnum. When the series ended the show was over. There will never be a new Magnum.
Oddly I do not have a problem with a new series set in Hawaii with cops, bad guys, good guys and many that are also bad and good. That is what Magnum PI was. The old Magnum PI series was actually a morality play much like our old western movies but moved into present time but in Hawaii. It was a brilliant series.
DO NOT CALL IT MAGNUM PI. It is not!

Forgot to add this, Higgins the Englishman in reality was from Texas and in interviews sounded very Texas. He was a great actor as was Tom Sellick.

The problem was inspecting anything good to come out of the old broadcast networks.
Sometimes Fox has something watchable on. CBS, never.
And when was a TV remake actually better than the original?
The original version of a show may have been awful, but there was a conviction and an authenticity to it that a remake won't have.
