“Apparently, there are no other US special operations units except the SEALs. Delta who?”

That’s how you tell a Delta op from a SEAL op. As part of the mission order, a SEAL unit assigns book and movie rights.

Thanks. originally from Evergreen Park, Southsider!

I just watched a trailer. “Magnum’s” pal T.C. is supposed to be an “ex-Marine chopper pilot” — but he’s later shown in dress blues with staff sergeant chevrons. sheesh! Yeah, it looks pretty awful.

“...Magnum, played by Latino actor Jay Hernandez...”

I still think they should have gone all-in and called it “Magnum P.R.”

Lighten up Francis...

Political correctness destroys creativity, imagination, freedom of thought, innovation, depth of character, confrontation with truth, and humananity. No wonder these shows are so pathetic.

Underneath the video, read the comments on Youtube about the "reboot" of Magnum.

The hoi polloi are ripping CBS a new one!

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

Fixed- no pun intended

And he is probably renamed to "T.G." for transgender.

The Abomination of Desperation.

I watched the trailer and nearly puked. I showed it to my husband and he cursed through the whole thing. And we both picked apart how totally unbelievable and unrealistic it was. Needless to say, we won't be watching.

All my favorite male characters from old shows are now women in the reboots. What the hell?

I don’t watch anything but the local news on the NBC affiliate, One America News, TCM and Military History. So I’ll never even see the commercials for it.

It has to be a real-life version of "The Producers", there has to be money in producing flops.

[Scrambler Bob]

CBS is reportedly working on a reboot of Gunsmoke.

Oh?

Reminds me of when Mae West was asked if she smoked after sex.

[TomGuy]

I bet it lasts longer than the Murphy brown reboot

The irony is that these 'reboots' would seemingly have more appeal for those age 50+; those who remember the originals.

Yet, that demographic is beyond the coveted 18-49 age group.

Reboots and remakes seem to have a difficult time lasting beyond a season 2.

You may want to check out the Abomination Desolation . . . that is definitely not one to lighten up about.

According to Fox the only ones fighting in the Middle East are Navy Seals. Not a day goes by that they don’t interview a “Seal.” When I was on active duty Seals were a small part of Special Operations. And they certainly were not on TV every 5 minutes being interviewed. When was the last time you heard a soldier from the 10th Mountain Division, the most deployed unit in the Army since 9/11 interviewed? Never. They’re too busy getting deployed time and again and fighting the bad guys. If Fox News ever called one for an interview he would tell em, “no time for interviews, we’ve got a job to do.”

Wondering what the show's quota for "same-sex kisses per episode" will be.

No thanks!

The new “Magnum” is all of 5-9 (a stretch) inches tall. A full 7 inches shorter than Tom Selleck. Higgins is played by a woman. Rick is probably a drag queen.
