Well, the best reason I can think of is that John Hillerman and Jonathan Harris would be IMPOSSIBLE acts to follow. They were beyond mere character actors in their respective shows, and in fact truly carried their show.

I've read about an 80s or 90s non-sports show with members of the Lost in Space cast present to sign autographs. "Everyone" wanted Jonathan Harris, and the others were "just there", which infuriated them.

I really love the original Magnum P.I., and immensely enjoy Tom Selleck as Magnum, but I'll tell ya this---without John Hillerman an episode dragged and was pretty much a dud. --- Brian Powell
