You underestimate their ability to completely ruin something good.

Place your bets...do they last beyond one season?

I predict they will be quickly canceled.

Meanwhile, I’ll be watching the real Magnum on DVD. Why watch a pale imitation when you can view the original?

"The Greatest American Hero is re-imagining Steven J. Cannell’s 1981 cult classic, in which the unlikely (super)hero at the center Ralph Hinkley was played by William Katt."

He was only Ralph Hinkley for a few episodes after the show debuted. Right after the assassination attempt on Reagan by John Hinckley, the character's name was changed to Ralph Hanley. In any event, Robert Culp made the show. It would have bombed without him then, and it will do so with the remake.

The “Lads” will recast as a pair of cats.

Of course, “inclusiveness” doesn’t include straight white males — or conservatives of any gender, race, or orientation.

“The Greatest American Hero is re-imagining ... In the reboot, it is Meera, an Indian American woman.”

Some of these Indian women on TV today are ridiculously hot ... if she’s hot and in a form fitting spandex outfit, that’ll work for me ;-)!

But the perps will never be minorities. No diversity there.

Rule for all cop shows: A minority can be a suspect, but in the end it will turn out that they were being profiled and stereotyped and they were not only innocent, but also a genius and a hero.

Nope

When the author of the Broadway musical “Hamilton” said he wanted a cast that looked like America, he had to go on to explain he meant, “no whites”.

They aren’t even pretending anymore.

I noticed this on some of the shows I’ve watched recently.

Hollywood is as inept as it is morally corrupt!

The lack of imagination is astounding as it is imagination that is the fuel for the entertainment industry.

Magnum PI was successful because of the cast, the writing and the era it was shown.
A quirky, unconventional private detective surrounded by his equally unconventional friends worked after following multiple P.I shows of conventional characters who always got the big badie in the end.

Changing the skin color of the lead won’t recreate the atmosphere of the late seventies and early eighties.

It will fail.

What-ever gave you the idea that Robin Masters is white?

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

Bwaaa-haaa-Haaa! :)

If you’re still watching TV, what’s wrong with you?

These retreads are going to be boring as can get. No SJW show can use innuendoes or risky script lines and get away with it. No interest in these shows whatsoever.

If it was being rebooted today, Hawaii 5-0 would make McGarrett a lesbian and Danno a trannie.

5-0 HAS been rebooted but the lead isn't a lezbo nor Danno a trannie.

Other than that I cannot say anything further as I could gain any interest in it.

Race hatred controls the entertainment industry.

MAGNUM RELOADED, AND TOTALLY GAY:

TC --> "T.S."

Magnum --> 'Stache, but elsewhere clean shaven

"He was delicious, Mangum..! A PERFECT addition to a threesome..! Striding out of the surf in an overstretched banana-hammock..! Sinewy, rippling, an undeniable adonis..!"

T.S. minces up, flapping his arms around, rolling his eyes:

"You guys gonna STIFF me this time or no..? You steppin' out on me..?!"

(and TONS of other gay stuff)

JUST YOU WAIT..!
