Even if I had cable/satellite, which I don’t, I would pass on “Magnum, P. C.”

I have the DVDs of the original, why watch a poor imitation?

With the current social and cultural norms I’m expecting a reboot of Mr Rogers for the below 50 audience.

Taking the Lord’s Name in vain is more than serious. Hollywood is so far gone . . .no one probably noticed it. God is in charge and in control of everything. . .including everyone’s next breath. . .including mine.

Time will tell if Generation Buttercup embraces the show.

I challenge the Buttercups to watch the two part Magnum episode called "Did You See The Sunrise?" then we'll talk.

“Hollywood has no one left who can write..”

Which is why I like old movies. Well written.

A Mr. Rogers remake today would have a transsexual hermaphrodite in the titular role.

But, that would have taken imagination.

"isn't exactly A name you'd associate with...

Could have called it El Torro PI.

I really like the way Ray Starmann turns a phrase here about some size 2 bimbo in "yoga pants":
"a character who looks like a vegan chick shopping at Whole Foods with a Bernie Sanders bumper sticker on her Prius."
Too funny! Perfect!

And if this “Magnum” debacle isn’t bad enough, CBS is reportedly working on a reboot of Gunsmoke.

No, Hollywood's been out of original ideas for decades. That's why we get crappy remakes of good shows and movies.

Just think, this is only the second worst “reboot” on CBS this season.

I’m not going to watch it, but I sure enjoyed reading this writer ripping on it!

A Gunsmoke “reboot”? Seriously?

I bet it lasts longer than the Murphy brown reboot

El Torro PI....lol.

What someone should do early in the season....dub it into Spanish, with everyone having a Latino name. Too bad Luis de Alba is not in his 50s...he’d be perfect for Higgens.
