If Tom Selleck guest stars


I think Tom Selleck should guest star Robin Masters. I don't think he was revealed/seen on the original series.

I think it was intended that Orson Welles would eventually appear as Robin Masters but he died.

I know Richard Dean Anderson has panned the MacGyver remake. Has Tom Selleck expressed any public opinion on the Magnum remake?

reply

He seemed warmer to the idea than Richard Dean Anderson did about McGyver.sp . He just just didn't say no...I think.

reply

I'm sure if they let him make another Jesse Stone movie he'd do it.

reply

Both Larry Manetti & Roger Mosely have appeared.
Just waiting for Tom to make the Trifecta.

The only thing that can save the whole premise of this stupid show is if in the final episode it is revealed that Magnum (the REAL Magnum) has been writing a book about his own life and took some liberties with his own character and that of the late Jonathon Higgins. The whole series should be the fictionalized and updated exploits of an elderly Magnum all along. It could end with Magnum, Rick and TC talking about the whole thing and them shaking their heads at him for changing Higgins like that. Then you could see a copy of the book and have it revealed that Magnum has been using the Robin Masters pen name to write it.

With that said, I'd still rather watch my Magnum DVDs than this.

reply

Actually it would make more sense if Rick or TC was writing the book as it would make more sense as to why they turned Higgins into a girl and made her Magnums love interest.

reply

Yes, but Magnum did some writing during the run of the series. I don't recall TC or Rick ever trying to write a book.

reply

True, but given how stupid the series is it would be more logical for it to be from the minds of the worst writers.

reply

Selleck said if they do a tribute to Roger Mosley (Bookie) then he would like to get involved with that. Only 3 or 4 episodes left so I guess that's not happening.

reply

It didn't
