:down:

The title music is the same, but now feels dirty.
TC's helicopter is the same colour.
Higgins is still English but female.

The only plus side is Thomas Magnum, no tash, now looks like Barem Kayal:-

There is no sign of Gary Dicker.

Given that Tom Selleck is now the New York City Police Commissioner he was unavailable to reprise his role

You can never go back.

I've always said that... *cough MURRAY cough*

But I never watched Magnum first time round. I is too young you see..


Still won't watch it though.

Murray is a slightly different case. He came back yes, but not as a 28 year old.

To be fair....never been a fan of the re-make...reeks of talentless TV people with no new idea's!
However....quite like the new Hawaii Five-0!

Re-makes Ive bothered to look at..!

Battlestar Galactica (TV series) - Shit
V (TV Series) - Distincly average
A-Team (Film)...truely awful!
Incredible Hulk (Film)...pathetic

They only need to **** up a new Knight Rider and Airwolf and its pretty much a full house!

A remake of Blakes 7 would be great if it was done right......IE...not by the BBC

I'm assuming Gary Dicker is waiting for The Rockford Files, remake.

Looks very much like Five - 0 in style from the trailer - & I see they are set to do a few crossover episodes as well.
Carl Weathers & Cyndi Lauper have guest starred so far, & reviews are mixed by the looks of it. Will give it a go - but doubt it will surpass the original for me.

Technical stuff here.
Whilst living in Spain certain channels (Antena 3 if I recall) played both the original and Spanish soundtrack. Basically it was left and right on stereo TV's and you could select which one you wanted.
Magnum PI was one of only a few programmes in English and so I think I have watched every episode ever.

The remake of Lethal Weapon is very popular!

My son enjoyed the first one so we watched the second.
The episode with Carl Weathers and most importantly also the episode where the Tash question was dealt with.
