What do you think of bringing back tv shows like Magnum PI vs airing new original shows?

Ok, watching 60 Minutes and saw ad for Magnum PI show coming this fall. Can't tv producers come up with new original ideas anymore? Sure Magnum PI was a great show but come on, have we become so dumb-downed that we can't produce original shows that aren't reality or sequels?

@LT COL JOHN Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen If no one will watch the current trash on TV, of course they will piggyback on earlier successes. I simply record re-runs of the original shows from the 1960s/70s and enjoy them again!

Pretty much what I do as well. Kind of laugh, this used to be the time of the year where you used to scope out new tv shows and start thinking about what you wanted to watch in the fall. So far I haven't seen one that even sounds interesting. Fortunately cable has lots of stations that carry old shows.

I agree, John! It's the same thing with movies. No creativity. Sure moneymakers are the goal. Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen

I kinda like some of them. I was really skeptical of Hawaii Five O but it turned out to be a great show and we watch it every week. Have to see Magnum PI to judge but I think enough time has passed from the originals that remakes will be ok.

Funny, that was the first show I thought of as well. Loved it until they took all the supposedly Hawaiian characters off. Haven't watched this season at all.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - Iread somewhere they left the show because they weren't getting as much money as the lead characters. If you remember the original, it was full of hauolies as well versus Hawaiians. I do like the characters Kamekona and flipper. They add a good flavor.

Ya, actors tend to get swelled heads in the money area after a couple good seasons. Heard that's why Abby left NCIS as well. Concept that we who were in the military just can't grasp I guess.
