What do you think of the updated Thomas Magnum during the first season of the Magnum PI TV show on CBS? As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like Magnum PI is cancelled or renewed for season two. Unfortunately, most of us do not live in Nielsen households. Because many viewers feel frustration when their viewing habits and opinions aren’t considered, we’d like to offer you the chance to rate all of the season one episodes of Magnum PI below.
A CBS detective drama, Magnum PI is an updated reboot of the 1980s Tom Selleck vehicle. The new action-adventure series stars Jay Hernandez, Perdita Weeks, Zachary Knighton, Stephen Hill, Tim Kang, and Amy Hill. It centers on former Navy SEAL Thomas Magnum (Hernandez), who is back from Afghanistan and working as a private investigator. Magnum lives in a guest cottage on the Robin’s Nest estate in Oahu, where he also serves as a security consultant. With his team at the ready, a vintage Ferrari at his disposal, and his trademark aviator sunglasses, Magnum is always ready to crack the next case.

1/25/19 update: CBS has renewed the Magnum PI TV show for a second season.
I really enjoy this show. Please renew!
My husband, son and I love the new Magnum PI. We would love to see it continue.
Love this show! Please don’t cancel. The endings always touch my heart.
We thoroughly enjoy the new Magnum PI! It is a family show during prime time whereas everyone can enjoy. One of a few shows that my 10 year old grandson can watch w/o any political correctness issues, social issues, propaganda, etc., thrown in our faces.
I love this show brings back good memories Jay Hernandez plays a great magnum love the cast . great story plots . Please keep this show this is the only show that is Great on t.v.
The kids and I love this show. This is the one night I let them stay up and watch.
It is fun, action packed and has great dialogue. the characters are fantastic. We love it and look forward to seeing more. I just wish they would actually show it. Also, I wish we could watch it on line (all access CBS without a subscription) because we would like to watch the episodes again on the weekends.
Awesome …I was a fan of the original, and I also agree with some of the comments from other viewers…it’s refreshing and also nostalgic, the writers are outstanding!. The new actors are doing a great job, adding their own unique attributes further apprising the series; Keep the show!
I so agree with everything you said
I love the new Magnum. It is well written with good action. Love all the. characters. Sure it’s not the old Magnum which was my favorite show, but it stands on its own merit. Please don’t cancel my favorite show.
Yes please keep this show on
you said perfectly
Cancel this! Not even close to the original. Terrible characterization and poor attempt at humor.
Perdita Weeks is a total badass…can not get enough of her role in the new series. This new Magnum must be renewed.
I grew up on the original Magnum PI…..and was worried this reboot wouldn’t work but it does! It’s a great ‘refresh’ and has kept all the great parts of the original format. New and exciting. I’ve been watching eagerly each week….until I didn’t see episode 10. What happened?? Where is the rest of the season!?! We watch this show at the office every Monday evening. And the reboot has brought back the great show that started with Tom Selleck and now handed off to Jay Hernandez. Fingers crossed for more episodes and a season 2…..

I really like the Actor who plays Magnum and I like the two friends. The 2 dogs of course but I am not fond of the English accent woman. She just doesn’t fit plus I don’t like her helping Magnum. I hope it stays on but the woman’schata has to change or get replaced.

Magnum PI was about a real former soldier with real friendships, real danger, real reflection, real tension with Higgins. This show is a soft porn knock off of the original, with worse acting.
Terrible cancel It now. Ruined a classic. Tom Selleck is the only Magnum
I’m really enjoying this reboot. I like the balance of updates to characters and story with the nods to many facets of the original series.
