[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).

In Pedowood, you can be both. A guy like that might need a beard.

I thought rehashing Magnum was a bad idea. Selleck was perfect for that role, and played it so all the guys liked him and the gals wanted to do him. His sidekicks were funny and provided contrast.

How do you pull that off in the age of MeToo and SoyBoys?

the dumb networks try to re-image characters with more “politically acceptable” characters - change the race of Magnum!

Glad it’s failing!

Everybody Loves Raymond and Frasier, hilarious and very high quality. Better than Lucy or the Honeymooners or “Married”. I didn’t watch them either when they were current, but I never missed Married with Children. I tuned into Raymond and Frasier on late night reruns, they actually keep me awake laughing. I think they are the last of the quality comedies to exist in post-Constitutional America.

The new Magnum guy does not have a ‘stache.
He fired more bullets in the first 15 minutes then Tom Selleck did in all the years he did the show.

Higgins is a women. Nice looking but a dame.
The voiceover claimed the 3 guys were buddies from the mideast war and were pow’s together.
If so they would have been killed by the enemy.
The photographing is better then the original.

True story here, about Selleck. My friend, who is also a girl on the fringes of being successful, and an agent worked in the Seattle area where Mr Selleck was to come up and do a promo, or shoot some scenes, I cannot remember.

She was a Tom Selleck fanatic, and was constantly trying to meet him. She gave up after some of the people within that “entertainment community” told her one day that he was off in a small fishing boat, and had taken some young men who were part of the “Big Brother” program. They implied strongly that he was molesting them, and it turned her off from him.

For the past 30+ years I have failed to dissuade her from the fact that they were likely haters of his because of his masculinity, and his conservative values which he strongly espoused. In short, they hated him as strongly as antifa hates President Trump.

I never believed the slant that was put on the story, and ended up with a signed Tiger hat that he left for his “former fan”. I sure wish I wouldn’t have worn it out now.

I am still a Magnum/Tom Selleck fan, and will continue to be. The so called LEFT is simply evil.

#42 They use computer programs with generic plot points. Insert a character and location, some plot points and up comes possible scenes and dialog. No real writing involved. Just drag and drop.

Music is like that now too. See / hear ‘bro country’

Magnum P.I. was a bigger bomb than “Fat Man” “Little Boy” or the AZ Diamondbacks

The retarded programming network director unfortunately. He’s a fag homo too and his BF is also the green-light bigwig at NBC. The worst is CW. There are no straight people there, hands down. When I leave the CW building, I have the urge to get an STD test.

“I never watched Magnum, but Seleck is good in Blue Bloods.”

Magnum = Selleck.
Selleck = Magnum.

Selleck in Blue Bloods? It’s like Paul McCartney was in Wings. No... Paul McCartney = Beatles.

People may have tuned in to see the new Magnum, but if they’re like us, won’t be tuning in next week. This new guy is not Thomas Magnum.

Do an image search for "Tom Selleck Magnum."

You might be surprised by the photos you get.

plus the star is a homo.

Yeah, you wish you were that homo.

Google some pictures of Selleck as Magnum.

I love the guy, but people made the same mistake about him as you do about the new guy.

He’s been good in everything. I love him in Blue Bloods, and wished the world worked that way.

The "Lads" had the best lines and did the best acting. One thing they spoiled right away is claiming they knew Robin Masters. One of the fun things from the original was trying to figure out if Higgins was really Masters.

At least the new Higgins looks better in yoga pants than John Hillerman.

Changing Higgins to a woman was a mistake—and the guys no Tom Selik -—Doesn’t look like he could have been a SEAL. BUT, Hawaiian landscape is good, action was well done and the acting good. Still the story was weak—contrived and predictable. Lets see what they do with the show—it will really depend on the scripts and writers.
