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?
I like it much more than the replacement , McGuyver…I don’t like it at all…Bring back Magnum Pi
Magnum PI is the best show there is. This is even better than the original version and that one was excellent. I’d hate for this show to be cancelled. It’s actually the only show I look forward to and watch like clockwork.
I love this show. I watch it ever Friday night. Hope it gets renewed.
Please do not cancel Magnum PI! It’s a great show.
If Magnum gets cancelled I’ll be pissed.
I look forward to watching the show. I really hope this show doesn’t get canceled.
This is a good show and falls right into making Friday nights enjoyable for those of us who don’t go out!!!
Will be very sad if they cancel this show!
Magnum PI should be renewed—I recently watched sone old episodes of the original show—-this reboot is far better. Bring it back on Friday nights, please.
Love this show!
I really enjoy Magnum PI and am terribly disappointed that no 2020 return date has been set. I do hope it gets renewed. On another note, when I found out that McGuyver was replacing Magnum, I was totally disgusted. I don’t like McGuyver at all and I’ll watch anything but that.
I liked the series and hope it comes back. I don’t like Macgyver taking it’s place.
My favorite show. Hope it is renewed
I like the show a lot and look forward to it every Friday night. Hope it is renewed.
Love the show , You need to renew it , Love Thomas an. Higgins. Show is great. An very well. Written , Please renew it !!!
I look forward to this show
So much better than many of the other shows on CBS
If they are going to cancel shows, They should consider the “un-funny “ sit coms instead of Magnum PI
This is a very entertaining show and the the characters mesh extremely well . I look forward to watching Magnum every week.
CBS ….. We enjoy Magnum PI so much and look forward to every episode …. Please bring it back as soon as possible…..Please!!!!!
