427Cobra Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Higgins is hot! Magnum shooting a STI Costa Ferrari already shot up and destroyed, and this is the first 15 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I DVR’ed it but I will have a hard time accepting it. Blasphemy if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 You KNOW you're OLD when you still believe that only Tom Selleck can be Magnum. Sarge, you probably also think that Lawrence Welk is The King of Soul, and you must love accordion music. I haven't seen the new show yet, but doubt seriously that they have truly replaced Tom - have to keep my mind open, though, because I'm only 73 years old 427 Cobra, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and accept the possibility that the new Higgins is a very attractive young lady, and not a rickety old stuffy guy ….

OPENB Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I dressed in my Magnum stuff for my Monday match in anticipation of the show. It was OK. I doubt it makes it for long though. I'd honestly rather watch reruns of the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve RA Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I thought it was fairly good, Magnum isn't Tom but, then, Tom isn't the same as he was then either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powder Finger Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 21 hours ago, Sarge said: Her eyes are too far apart but her teeth are awfully nice for a Brit. make sense since Selleck had that line in one western movie about the spacing of some girls eyes. I think he said something like "but your eyes a might far apart" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawaiianShirtShooter Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I enjoyed it more than I expected. Expecting a replacement for Selleck was silly of me. I enjoyed it more when I accepted it as just a PI show set in Hawaii. Overall enjoyable though, I'll watch a few more episodes. @427Cobra thanks for naming the pistol, I was thinking it looked like an STI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HI5-O Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I watched it and it was okay for a remake. Set up for younger viewers, not for those that watched the original Magnum PI. It’s like the new Hawaii Five-O and even had some of their characters so I’m sure they’ll have appearances on each other’s show. Don’t like the way the producers stereo typed the HPD detective with a hokey Japanese name. Some will say at least there is an Asian on the show with a speaking part.....lol I’ll watch it a few more times just for the gun stuff and cars. BTW, Tom Selleck is a shooter.

I love the new Hawaii 5-0 much better than the original. Probably because the original was not nearly as good as the original magnum PI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking about Lt. Tanaka? His character was from the original, so they couldn't re-name him. He wasn't quite the a-hole to Magnum in the original though. I wish they would have made a couple movies with the original cast like they were supposed to, like Star Trek Next Gen did. A dignified ending that would have satisfied. I doubt they cross over to HI50, they already broke the wall by mentioning MPI on the episode with the helicopter ride. They assigned themselves characters from MPI. I looked at the Costa Comp Magnum edition on Dawson's site. Only 4 left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Donald Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Why on all these show everyone is a Navy Seal? I guess with gun shows getting scarce every Seals has to do something else. On the original show Thomas Magnum had been in Navel Intelligence, fits a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPENB Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 He was a SEAL too. When he's in uniform in the last episode, he has the trident on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sasquatch981 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I tried to give it a chance, but after 2.5 episodes, I think I will go back to the original, or Simon and Simon!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full disclosure I haven’t watched the new one. When I saw the hot chick was going to play Higgins I checked out. Nothing against attractive women but the predictable and cliche “sexual tension” that we all know is going to happen is way off course for Magnum. And I had to Wikipedia the navy seal part. I grew up watching the show and I always thought he was navy intelligence. I guess I remember flashbacks of him in combat but was to young to appreciate that wasn’t typical intelligence work. That little bit of info really makes me think the original was quite the trend setter. Every cop/detective/ncis/cis/sitcom/soap opera has a former SEAL or spec ops guy on it. Apparently Magnum was cool before it was cool. On 9/26/2018 at 9:19 PM, HI5-O said: I watched it and it was okay for a remake.

With regards to the stereotype Japanese name, I currently work with the first and only native Hawaiian guy I’ve ever known. And his name is Murakami. Soooo.........LoL I’m guessing they destroyed the Ferrari in the 1st episode so they could put him in something more PC. Like a Tesla?? On a positive note, at least the dogs are still Dobermans. I guess that’s something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasteslikechicken Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 With the original Magnum being my all time favorite show as a kid I just can’t get into the new one yet. I’m not giving up though!!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
