What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the CBS television network, Magnum PI stars Jay Hernandez, Perdita Weeks, Zachary Knighton, Stephen Hill, Tim Kang, and Amy Hill. This reboot of the 1980s TV show follows Thomas Magnum (Hernandez), a decorated former Navy SEAL who repurposes his military skills to become a private investigator. He lives in a guest cottage on Robin’s Nest, the luxurious estate where he works as a security consultant to supplement his P.I. business. The “majordomo” of the property is Juliet Higgins (Weeks), a beautiful and commanding disavowed MI:6 agent who keeps Magnum in line. When Magnum needs back-up on a job, he turns to his trusted buddies and fellow POW survivors, chopper pilot Theodore “TC” Calvin (Hill) and Orville “Rick” Wright (Knighton), a former Marine door-gunner who now runs a nightclub. Magnum frequently has run-ins with police detective Gordon Katsumoto (Kang) and the two are more alike than either cares to admit. Teuila “Kumu” Tuileta (Hill) is one of Magnum’s biggest fans and is also the unofficial “House Mom” and cultural curator of Robin’s Nest.

What do you think? Are you glad that the Magnum PI TV show was renewed for a third season? How would you feel if CBS cancelled this TV series, instead?
There is nothing not to like about Magnum PI. We have been watching this show faithfully and then WHAM-O it’s gone. Sadly, we missed the ReBoot on March 11th and wonder if it will be re-shown soon. Too bad the Reboot was not done on Friday at the usual time!
I would like to see Magnum P.I. renewed.
Of course, no show could replace Tom Selleck’s Magnum, but this is fun. Loved the crossover with Hawaii Five-O, which is so serious. Bring it back!
I had been a fan of “Hawaii Five-O” for years, but too much violence on it now. I like the new
Magnum P.I., but I do think the female lead is a bit difficult to understand. I hope that it is NOT cancelled. And the reissue of “MacGyver” is a real disappointment! I’m not sure why, but it just doesn’t resonate with me as it once did.
Please renew. So few decent shows on tv; magnum p i is enjoyable and not X or R rated. That’s why we watch it
Really enjoyed the new Magnum PI. Stayed home on Friday nights to watch it. Hope it is renewed.
I enjoy the show very much and hope it gets renewed. I’ve missed it.
Please renew Magnum P I! It is one of our favorites.
Thanks,
Mary & Greg Rodriguez
We look forward to the show. Even if you move it to another night. But Friday was our favorite night to watch. I’m sure you can find another night for MacGyver.
I would like to see Magnum P.I. renewed.
Please renew Magnum PI! It’s one of our favorite programs.
Change it to different night. Monday -Thursday. Friday night is not a goodnight.
look forward to the show
This show should stay on, it’s sure better than what has replaced it on Friday nights
We look forward every week to see the show. We would be so disappointed if they didn’t renew. It’s one of the best shows on tv.
