HA don't be a hater! I'll get to the reboot after finishing the OG one and follow up with you. But I do like Jay Hernandez, I think he's underrated.

Tom Selleck as Magnum always creeped me out. I think it was those teeny tiny shorts he wore. But I did love the 'aloha shirts', I even have one of his favorites:

LMAO! Yeah I never liked those short shorts and how he was always topless. He also was like a BIG 6'4" giant but had a pretty boy face and the mustache always bothered me too. He also had like a weird gentle voice like so many things that don't match up lol.

As for the reboot without spoilers is it pretty much the same as the OG? Like same navy backstory and Higgins, TC, Rick etc.? Is the owner of the mansion also Robin Masters or did they do something more updated like a tech billionaire instead of an author? LOL

Yes, the Navy story is still there (Hernandez looks hot in his 'whites'), Higgins is a woman (Perdita Weeks), TC is cool, BUT Rick is a HUGE DOPE! Robin Masters owns the property but you never see him. The show wasn't perfect but...?

Haha funny points, yeah I guess Magnum was sorta like America's answer to James Bond. We wanted a classy hero but not too classy so they made him a slob/moocher. Same formula with Bruce Willis in Moonlighting. Or even Remington Steele, except he's a well dressed moocher.

As for the invisible millionaire patron, I guess Charlie's Angels should get credit for that idea, but it was a popular plot device in the 80s with shows like Knight Rider or even Hart to Hart (except in that show they themselves were the millionaries who solved crimes on the side 🤔). I suppose this all reflects the 80s American dream, the Reagan years with big ideas of living the millionaire life without necessarily working for it haha.

I don't remember much about this show, too young to get it, but I remember liking the comedy and the fact that Magnum seemed like an overall decent guy. Like you said, his smooth voice had a lot to do with his likeability. He wasn't a hardened Sam Spade kinda character, he was like your cool uncle.

LMAO! I just came home from the beach it's 102 degrees here in LA right now all week for 2 weeks. So I'm talking to this like 70 year old grandma and guess what she brings up out of no where?????? MAGNUM PI! She says did you know there was a show in the 80's with a hot tall guy who would solve crimes with his shirt off in Hawaii? I was like lady we are literally binging this show as we speak and we even made a thread about it! LOL. She even said the same things I already posted how Magnums face and voice don't match his huge Giant body. She even said that back in the day there was a rumor that Tom was gay. I told her I can see that he was way too handsome and pretty looking at the same time and that mustache was pretty suspect lol.

Oh yeah Higgins is a female this time. Is she hot at least or is she and old boring Brit like the OG Higgins all condescending and all? Rick was a huge dope in the OG version as well? Unless he's even more so worse? What is Robin Masters claim to fame or how did he make his money in the reboot? Is he still an author or did they change it to crypto guy or something? LOL

Yeah I saw a documentary that Tom did not want Magnum to be a lazy copy of James Bond so they made him an all American couch surfing moocher faking it till he make it like the rest of the LA crowd lol. You are absolutely correct. Apparently the producers kept trying to make him suit up and wear a tuxedo and he kept saying no I'm going to be in shorts and shirtless the whole time this is Hawaii not Paris.

Man those are all really good examples and its crazy to see how especially back then if you were a tv star you'd never be a movie star especially in the 80's and early 90's but Bruce Willis was like the only one to break that rule and go from tv star (Moonlighting) to huge action Movie Star. I'm not sure if anyone else was able to even come remotely close to make that successful transition? Not until many moons later like a George Clooney(ER to Movie stardom). Maybe you can argue JohnnyDepp(21 Jumpstreet) but he hated being on the show and sabotaged it to try to get off the show.

Good point on the Regan moving on up years! You think that had an effect on Jeffersons, Different Strokes etc? Maybe even Cosby Show having a successful Dr. dad and Lawyer mom?? Wasn't the invisible guy in charge the same way with Get Smart? Or did we ever see the bad guys in that? KAOS? Like the big boss guy did we ever see him? Or am I mixing that up with Inspector Gadget the cartoon? LOL We only see the bad guys arms as he's sitting on his evil lair chair?

Yeah you should re-watch it too, I'm really happy that I did, each episode is a brand new adventure since he takes on all different clients and they all have their own totally different problems and backstory.

Yeah they were saying it was unique since Magnum often narrates the show in his own words and his own voice and it sounds like a normal likable guys guy voice. Almost like a soccer dad or youth pastor that everyone likes. It's nothing like a badarse tough guy voice at all. Like the total opposite of a James Bond Navy seal which he was supposed to be.

I'm a 70-year-old grandma & was part of the demographic they were hoping would watch? I just couldn't get into the show. As for the original Rick, I have no idea if he was a dope since I didn't watch.

Ms. Weeks (Higgins) is British & in my opinion, rather ordinary. She was pretty rude & condescending to Magnum through much of the first 3 seasons & don't get me started about the dogs! She was very thin, funny though she got a boob job sometime between the end of season 3 & the start of season 4. Here's a photo:

Lol at the new implants tho? Does she get implants on the show as well or do they just act like she went up 2 cup sizes out of no where? LOL

Do you know if Robin Masters is still an author in the reboot? Do they even explain his wealth?

I'm a 71-year-old grandma. 👩🏼‍🦳 Nope, no mention of the implants (in the show) but she was very flatchested & then she wasn't, the difference was very noticeable! If you do check out the series, you'll see.

Robin Masters in this reboot was a journalist embedded with Thomas' special operations team in Iraq. The team provided him with stories that he published in a book series and he became a New York Times best-selling author. He rewarded Thomas by hiring him as a live-in security consultant to help with his income as a private eye. Thomas lives at the estate with former MI6 agent Juliet Higgins and Zeus and Apollo. Together they fight the evildoers in Hawaii.

Alright cheers to being a 71 grandma the emoji in you used is what the grandma looked like who randomly Brought up MagnumPi on the beach out of no where lol.

I just finished Season2episode 13 of the OG one and it was the infamous episode where Magnum shoots a nun off a ladder! LMAO!

Awww that makes more sense than the OG version. In the OG version Magnum pretty much gets to crash in the guest house and mooch of Robin just because he was able to break into the mansion as they explained very vaguely in the pilot. Thanks for explaining this for us all!

That's so cool that he insisted on the casual beach look, it really set the show apart. I've been to Hawaii once and didn't see a single tuxedo lol

Man those are all really good examples and its crazy to see how especially back then if you were a tv star you'd never be a movie star especially in the 80's and early 90's but Bruce Willis was like the only one to break that rule and go from tv star (Moonlighting) to huge action Movie Star.

Great observation about how hard it was for 80s tv stars to cross over. I think it's a lot easier these days since the line is blurred between tv/netflix/movies. But yeah there weren't a whole lot who made the transistion back then. Unless you count the cast of SNL? That show was always a launch pad for comedy moviestars. But tv action stars were considered kinda cheesy I suppose (in all fairness, they kinda were).

Good point on the Regan moving on up years! You think that had an effect on Jeffersons, Different Strokes etc? Maybe even Cosby Show having a successful Dr. dad and Lawyer mom??

Oh man Get Smart, now we're getting before my time but it sounds like they were making fun of the 007 villain who was only shown petting a cat (Goldfinger?). Good call about Diffrent Strokes... yeah there's another one about a rich guy who takes in street kids. The 80s really had an obsession with millionaires huh? How about Silver Spoons, sorta like Diffrent Strokes but with a white kid and a smokin hot nanny.

I gotta ask, did they do the obvious love-hate romance between Thomas and Higgins? Seems pretty cringeworthy if they did, but if they managed to avoid the obvious hookup that would be unexpected and cool.
