    Tom Selleck is old and fat, but I'd still rather see him in the lead role of a remake.  This guy looks like a wuss!

    He's only "73". :)
    Blue Bloods is about the only show on CBS that I can stomach!
    Their re-boots suck! I couldn't stand the original Hawaii 50, every bad guy was a demented Viet Nam vet!!

    Looks more like a cheap comedy rip-off and a cast of girly men. I'd rather watch SIX on the History Channel. It reminds me of that Lethal Weapon TV series.

    I'll reserve further judgement until I actually watch this fiasco! :D

    Here's the cast:

    Oh, I'll give it a whirl but I'm keeping my expectations low and hoping it'll surprise me. ;)

    Leathal Weapon just didn't cut it for me.

    It looks like they might be resurrecting the Nuzzo character from the season three episode, "Did you see the sunrise?"

    If it's done right, they'll have something to carry the story forward. If they turn it into a comedy, they're sunk!

    its sad that hollywood/media has no balls left.  They only want the "sure bet" and then those executives are so out of touch with today and what the everyday joe watches they have no idea.

    clueless idiots with alot of $$

    I hope they don't turn it into a slapstick comedy.

    The guy from lethal weapon who played Riggs got fired.  Difficult to work with or something.  Gonna replace him.

    Considering the original Magnum PI ran from 1980 to 1988 and won 10 major awards with 32 nominations:

    This new generation will have huge shoes to fill.

    That's why I'll keep my expectations low and hope it surprises me. :#

    I didn't even watch the vid in the OP. Saw it elsewhere tonite. Didn't seem too bad until the stoopid Ferrari/ truck/ jump to helicopter CGI crap.........  All of that ignorant over the top/unrealistic crap just is just a cover up for poor plot/writing.

    Yup.

    Over-the-top, unrealistic stunts work great in Sci-Fi and Comedies and in Sci-Fi/Comedies (and Bond movies, it's a tradition) but if you wish to be taken even remotely serious, leave the expensive unrealistic stunts on the cutting room floor.

    If you do, you would be spot on for the remake of Cannon.


    What with that receding hairline and all.
