Tom Selleck always has been and will always be the only actor I would care to sit down and talk to face to face. From what I've learned about his background, he sounds as if he's part of my family. I'm 69 now, but growing up watching Magnum, it was like watching my brother Mark. I can't bring myself to watch the "new" Magnum P.I"
This is man that made Thomas Sullivan Magnum. No other person could capture the character as well as he did. Thank you Tom Selleck for giving us such wonderful entertainment.😊💕
@@greenbaritos Yes. BTW New Magnum has a love interest called Hannah. And that charecter well we almost never get to see. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-G2cAPEVfzis.html
I have always loved Magnum P.I., never missed an episode when they were new. Still watch it a lot in reruns. This showed one of my favorite scenes with Bo Svenson as Ivan. Perfect. Pure Magnum. I have only seen the trailers for the new show, my reaction is pure Higgins in the attitude he always meant it, "Oh My God". Never quit Tom!
Just got box set ! Sad looking back ...all thoes years everthing golden ✨️ seems like its fading but with fading the love of my children moving foward....
That’s what made the show so great, each episode wasn’t a “reset” like many tv shows are. Past story lines were acknowledged and characters were developed rather than playing the same role each week.
For me the reason why I like him so much is because the world needs people like him with strong values and honest . We just need more people like him . Yes I'am a Tom Selleck fan and Iloved the Magnum PI show .
He was and is Magnum. I watched the show every week in the 80’s and now the reruns on Hallmark channel have gotten me through Covid lockdown and given me something to look forward to daily
The original, and only, Magnum was special because it reached into your soul. A lead character who drove a borrowed Ferrari, had money issues and had incredible good looks but was terrible and unpolished with women was such a great touch of humility that made him like the rest of us. The new Magnum is nothing more then a superficial adrenalin rush that nobody will be talking about in 30 years....guaranteed. Magnum PI and Raiders of the Lost Ark got me through teenage depression and probably saved my life. I'm glad we had our very own Magnum PI and when it was done we where done. We ALL moved on together.
Tom Selleck: Truly a good person who is a class act. Not many “Hollywood” people have his integrity. This was and is still my favorite show of all time. The theme music was so catchy and just got you ready for a great episode.
I was a senior in high school when Magnum P.I. came out. Everyone that I knew, loved that show. If it was played in reruns today I would watch them all over again.
Yes! Tom Selleck you are that great! Thanks for westerns; Sackets, Sackett Brand, Quigley down under, Jesse Stone, Blue Bloods & I still have my Magnum P.I. Posters! Thank you for all!
Love Tom selleck!! Magnum pi is a classic, old school drama, classics no rubbish like on today's shows, just how it was back in the days, all good fun to watch and easy on the eye thanks to Tom ;-)
I cannot see another actor as Magnum P.I. or playing this role!Handsome,nice friend,sometimes woodface man!Before,Always and for ever Thomas Sullivan Magnum will be Mr. Tom Selleck!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👑👑👑
@@mytube-vm3ft you also forgot that he successfully sued The enquirer when I tried to come out with a story that he's gay! If there was any truth to the story, It would have come out! Pun intended! It was liable pure and simple! His wife of over 30 years his daughter are not a 'beard'! And you don't help matters spreading this kind of stuff!
Tom Selleck is such a good actor that you just can't picture anybody else in his roles. He's Magnum, Jessie Stone, and of course any cowboy movie that he's ever done. Need I say more. I think they could have redone Magnum with Tom as an aging PI.
Tom Selleck is a great human being,and a great actor. I got to shake his hand the day I explained my signing an older womans politely requested "Tom Selleck" autograph. With a BB cap,sunglasses,and my moustache,she was sure she had a winner. Tom just said "Thanks for making her day"
Without a doubt Magnum PI was one of the best TV shows of all time I'm so glad it worked out for Tom Selleck who is also one of the best actors of all time
They made the new Higgins a woman. Bye-bye to that fun dynamic! Jonathan Quail Higgins, a fun mystery that slowly unraveled as the series evolved. I watched the promo and gave it a lackluster, meh.
Tom is so awesome! His acting is very believable and that is what marks him as a great actor. The life he has led off the screen makes him a great man. I know he has flaws, but they are small and few. He has done a lot of good, for many people and is a great role model for the younger actors to follow. Yea Tom!!
Magnum P.I. is just you of those show you have to love... I have most of the season's on DVD, been watching them again this past week. What is cool that I have been to Ohau many times & when you watch the show, you know most of the places by name where they are shotting the scenes in the show. Makes me want to go back for another holiday to the islands. There will never be another show like Magnum PI, best show of the 1980's... Like they say, the only Thomas Magnum is Tom Selleck...
Tom Selleck as Indiana Jones sounds like a good idea, but I would miss him as Magnum, and Harrison Ford did a good job on it anyway. I guess things happen for a reason after all.
After watching A Clear and Present Danger, maybe, though Selleck was already casted, so I'd rather have him play Indiana Jones to make a name for himself. He played that role pretty well.
***** TS will always be Magnum. I start my day in Hawaii with a cup of coffee watching Tom playing Mag PI every morning. Great TV series, right up there with The Andy Griffith Show. My 2 all time favorites.
Loved Magnum, P.I.; Jesse Stone movies, and love Blue Bloods. Tome Selleck is perfect in those parts, he has a great sense of humor, I like his politics, and he's easy to look at too - the whole package.
He is phenomenol on Blue Blues on CBS. It one of the few really good cop shows on today. I love the whole thing about generations of an Irish American family in the NYPD.
Agreed. Tom is THE ONLY Magnum!!! People in Hollywood need to be MORE creative and quite making a living on other people's genius. No More remakes PERIOD!!!
Tom Selleck is a one of a kind class act. So much better in every way than Harrison Ford. How many hollyweirdos you think would've actually done the show because honoring his contract was the right thing to do? I like the fact that integrity actually figured into his great success - the polar opposite of basically every other celebrity ever.
Magnum was very funny for me. I loved Higgy Babe and those bloody naughty Dogs too (all 20 or so of them lol). Even though it wasn't overtly comedic, every episode had many well scripted, and performed gags. You just had to keep coming back. Tom would have made a fine, fine Indiana Jones. Harrison Ford was of course absolutely great but I reckon Tom would have been even funnier as Indiana because he has this hilarious energy that was obvious on Magnum and would have bought other qualities to the role.
Magnum PI was successful because of its sense of humour and sense of humanity. No competent drama can be complete without these. Shakespeare knew that and it is true today. Please, please, don't remake this. It's just fine as it is.
Tom my father met u back in the eighties on ur ranch in Montana his name is erv fairbanks he says hi I love it show I wish there were more men like u today God bless uI hope our paths cross one ur one day ur one of a kind it would be a honor
Tom Selleck is awesome. Magnum PI is Selleck's role forever. Indiana Jones is not Selleck. There is a quality Selleck has that is absolutely Magnum - sexy, daredevil, humor, guff.
He was PERFECT as Magnum PI. As mentioned so many key elements worked well together. Which is more than I can say for the reboot..which looks to be on shaky ground. What other show EVER does a few episodes then disappears for a few weeks and returns. Then isn't around for another few weeks...into March 2020. Even the Hawaii FIVE-O reboot has been consistent. They've been around every week. It's like they have a different team behind the show....better writers. The new Magnum PI reboot--too many aspects work against it. The characters aren't well written. Every one is "combat ready". No one really is showing any vulnerability..which Selleck's Magnum did. He 'd look into the camera and grin. :) Something never done. Worked. :) He was also one of the taller cast members as it should be. I think Selleck is 6'4...looks great in a navy uniform. In the reboot the new Magnum is the shortest guy...never a good move. The hero should be the most outstanding (as is the case in casing for the Man of Steel...bad move there...being shorter than Batman-Afleck)> The original show had well written characters. Johnathan Higgins...bumbling "major domo" of the estate but loyal. Not combat ready. Had his famous one liner "O MY GOD!!" :) The "lads" were characters. :) Oddly the "lads" disappeared I think in the 1st season of the reboot. Also missing were the helicopter fly-bys. Good flying and camera work...rememinecent of Tog Gun I thought. So many first and aspects WORKED in the original. Missing in the reboot. Where does the cast keep getting so well armed in almost every episode?? :) In the original all they had was Magnum and his 1911 (Colt 45) and Johnathan's shotgun. Thats it. Every cast member had their function. Not every one was combat ready or able. Had Agatha Chumley. The lieutenant's character was original too I felt. Didn't h ave to be a tough rugged street cop to play that role. Was a baseball fan. :)
oh this brings back such good memories. i watched magnum PI when i was in highschool and it was my favorite. i loved higgins when he always talked about his old war stories.
Interesting how Tom's not alone in disliking the reboot of his show with the way Richard Dean Anderson feels about the new MacGyver, and I'm sure if any of the cast of the real Hawaii Five-O were alive they'd probably be the same way. Tom Selleck defined that role and only he is truly the one who anybody is gonna remember. He just WAS that character in the charm, toughness, goofy sense of humor yet intelligence and sharpness. They don't make men like Selleck or Magnum anymore
Of course, Jeff Mackay returned, this time as the weaselly Jim Bonnick, who would remind Magnum P.I. viewers of the equally weaselly Angel Martin on The Rockford Files. Higgins didn't care for Jim and T.C., at one time, deposited him in the drink at the end of one episode!!!
Ironically when the subject of Selleck not getting the Indiana Jones role,Harrison Ford was reportedly had said you're disrespecting Tom on his choice of taking the Magnum P.I.role & defended his decision.To Mr.Ford's credit he was very happy for Tom & his success onward.
One of my favorite western lines Quigly referring to a pistol; "I said I didn't much use for them. Never said I didn't know how." Marsden was also one of my favorite Allen Rickman characters.
I've likedMagnum from the start and no one could compare The samecould be said for Higgens. Most of the girls I know think hes adorable. He is very funny and adds that to the show. I love the the deals TM always has to work out with Higgen to get a favour
There is only one "Magnum P.I.=Tom Selleck".The only movie to make is with the original cast. Tom Selleck is a wonderful actor and has a great sense of humour. Such a gentleman, lots of class.
MPI was a fun show and although I don't know him personally, Selleck's a stand up guy as far as I could ever tell. Watch how he keeps his cool while being interviewed by idiots the caliber of Rosey O'Donnell and Barbara Walters.
The reason Magnum PI went over, I’m thinking, is because he didn’t have all the answers and he wasn’t so macho. We could identify with his problems. I liked him before my wife did.
There’s only one magnum. And the sad part is that a revival of a classic once again is destroyed! Why can’t Hollywood bring back the original magic? Or at least close to it!
Here in Spain only know 3 things of hawai , japanese atack in 41 inffamy day,hawai 5-0 and Magnum pi jajajajajaja I love the way of Thomas ,no responsability , no compromise, a ferrari , have a good friends and a good home whith higgins and 2 doberman,sun and hawai, and ever have a prety girl .......and is a army man,never have wrong ideas , only sorry for my english,
Even when I watch Blue Bloods he'll do a face or do something that reminds me of Magnum I'll say wow that was so Magnum last year he did the line it's funny the things you remember I about fell off my chair I can't believe you actually said that line...
Agree with everthing, and then some. One point. For this generation Tom has created another deffining role. Jesse Stone. More please. As for a Magnum movie, if Tom does his way I will be first in line.
You want to know why? He’s Honest! He is faithful to his family and Loved and Loyal to his family wanted one for so Long He is Not Stupid as Half of Hollywood is .He is Sincere and fiercely Protective of his family and his Close Friends and he always will be! I like him for who he is and what he is! Have a Happy Easter with Your Family and these two elderly Grandparents think you are wonderful on Magnum and we enjoy watching you each day with T.C. ,Rick, and Higgins !😉😃🇺🇸🙏✝️
I liked him as Lance White on Rockford files. However, Tom Selleck was perfect as Magnum PI, and I wish we had another show like this. Does anyone remember the opening credits that came out of the shape of the Navy Cross ring? I thought it was cool. Also, let me say Higgins, T.C., and Rick were great co-stars? And I believe he stills owes them money and use of the tennis courts!!!
wait..wait..don't say it..didn't Higgins agree to a deal about the guest house and other stuff?the intro with the ring shape wAS just several first episodes..they had different music too.i never watched Magnum at all until 1994 ,I missed the whole series .but when I discovered it on reruns it inspired to to fly to Oahu-and the first place I went was robbins nest and yes I did swim in the tidal pool.
I agree. Magnum is one of the most classic shows, in fact it was more than a tv show. The new movie is tragical. WHY?? Money of course. But the fans of the show are not interested.
The re-boot looks action-adventure driven rather than character-driven. The original Magnum P.I. succeeded, I think, because of the character. I'm not certain explosions and a female Higgins are going to work.
@Terry Callow Or maybe the problem isn't having a woman action lead but changing an iconic character just to have the corny will they\won't they thing and to try to appear politically correct. Though ironically what would've been the much better idea was having the show being centered on Magnum's adult daughter with maybe recurring appearances by Tom and the other three guys. Now that actually would've been progressive and win over fans of the original series instead of alienating them.
STILL, my favorite TV show...I was sitting next to a street bum and I told him "I just lost my job," he asked why? I told him "I had to stay home to watch Magnum,"...He said, "why didn't you just tape it?"...I loved that commercial for it too...Moses
I really dug this vid, thank you. And yeah, there is only *one* Magnum. Tom deserves every kudo he gets for the character, because he made Thomas Magnum a real character.
