In other news, Hollywood is still bereft of original ideas

In keeping with today's sensibilities they're using this guy to play Magnum.

I don’t mind material inspired by the old show but. I am tired of remakes. that said why do they always have to change the sex of at least one of the characters....years ago it was Starbuck in the remake of battlestar Galactica. now its Higgins from the show magnum P.I. Like I said its great to be inspired by the material but if you are going to make a great change like the sex of a major character why mot just retool everything.

An ending scene that will *not* be replicated in the reboot:

"Ivan, did you see the sunrise...?"

As long as the female Higgins has big breasts and looks great in a bikini.

” it will consist of three men and a woman, “

I knew that would happen before I read the article. When I watched the first episode of “Hawaii Five-0” and saw that they’d replaced a male character — Kono, I think — with a girl, I never watched another episode. Isn’t having a black T.C. enough to fulfill the PC requirements of “Magnum”?

Why is Hollywood paying writers good money if they.cannot come up with original ideas?

Are people really that much more stupid these days?

When will the new “team member” a Black lesbian be introduced? They could have a recurring story line where La Shandra be hitting on “ Higgins.” And a cliffhanger ending for the first season could have La Shandra handing Higgins flowers and squeezing her hand suggestively. UGH!!

Good luck with that one. Some things just cannot be copied. Magnum PI, Charlie’s Angels and Rockford Files being 3 examples. :-)

IIRC, Magnum was killed off at the end of the MPI series.

No. And I’m not impressed with the new Hawaii 5-O, either.

Yes, I don’t believe that they can recapture the ‘feel’ of the original. I’ll enjoy my classic Magnum PI on my dvds. I will say that I thought the re-boot of the 1979-80 Battlestar Galactica was well done. But that is the ONLY re-boot that I’ve seen that has been worth watching beyond the first one or two episodes.
