The sacrilege lies not in casting a female Higgins, but in attempting to remake Magnum at all.

Something we have known for quite a while now....Hollywood is out of ideas. So they give classics a makeover for the new generation or try to catch lightening in a bottle with a new specific audience in mind. Oceans 8. Really? Danny Oceans daughter or granddaughter and her 7 female friends knock off a bank or casino? Ugh.

The cameos of the original cast like Bill Murray just made me dislike it even more since they reminded me of how much I liked the original.

I've followed the "saga" of Magnum over the past 20+ years; i.e. bring back as a continuation movie, new series, reimagined movie, etc. At one time, I believe that Tom Selleck tried to procure the rights for Magnum but was turned down. That would have been super cool. The show still holds up well today. Not interested in "re-imagined" anything. |

I watched the original a few times...but I was more of a knight rider.
Wished they would took a new Camaro are re-boot it and had a big busted and short skirted woman driving it--say Pam Anderson, Heidi Klum or some other Angels.

The success of the "new" 2010 Hawaii Five 0, which I do not watch, likely made this inevitable at some point. If not for Blue Bloods maybe Selleck could have been Higgins.

As a Hawaii Five-O fan, I was extremely excited about the reboot. Then, I watched the first 3 or 4 episodes. Each one had McGarrett essentially saving the universe, and apparently he had an unlimited budget for gadgets. The original had the Five-O guys chasing down Hawaii criminals doing regular crimes like bank robberies and stuff. Oh well, another reason I watch ZERO current series on television.
Kinda like the Mission Impossible movies. The show was great. Now, Tom Cruise breaks multiple Olympic records on every film (high jump, long jump, etc). I skip them too.

Was and still am a huge fan of the show Magnum PI. Last I heard, Jay Hernandez was supposed to be the new Magnum. Seriously???
I know things have changed and Tom Selleck in his youth is no longer the look that is "in fashion" , but the guy was THE MAN in the 80s. I don't see Hernandez as THE MAN, ever. I had always hoped they would do a remake or a continuation when all of the main players were still alive and of an age where it would be believable. They just waited too long. Too many of the good supporting characters have died as well. I will watch a new Magnum if it finally gets released, but have a hard time thinking I can accept anything but the original.
