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"
Thursday nights Magnum PI got me through years of depression. It seriously played a big part in saving my life.
kyle d u must be over 50 years old
I'm glad this show was able to help you
I'm glad you made it to the other side Bro.
@hartono dyx
I’m over 50 and I loved Magnum P.I.!!!
Thursday night lineup: Magnum PI, Simon and Simon, and Hill Street Blues. :)
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.
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.😊💕
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.
this comment I wish I could frame because it's PERFECT!
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 .
That magnum pi intro is still the best thing ever.
It is epic!
Oh, yes. You can't beat a good Mike Post theme song.
With all the classic Tom moves...
Always get goose bumps
@jack torrence me too.
Tom Selleck is the one and only Magnum, his relationship with Higgins is the best
I loved the constant mini battles between magnum and Higgins !!
@@greenbaritos
Yes. BTW
New Magnum has a love interest called Hannah. And that charecter well we almost never get to see. th-cam.com/video/G2cAPEVfzis/w-d-xo.html
And John Hillerman is the only Higgins.
True
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
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.
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
Myvintageiron7512 Zaza
The new Magnum is nothing like the original. Tom is the best
Myvintageiron7512
Overrated
Tom Selleck is - and will ALWAYS be the ONLY Magnum!
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.
Hallmark channel been playing reruns. I been DVRing them and binge watching 😜🥰
Tom Selleck is the one and only Magnum P I - and dont forget it .
I won't
No, not any more. The Mexican guy is Magnum , p.i. Lol.
Mr. Snow I won’t, was my favorite show. Um, are you TC?
Damn right! The new sh&$ SUCKS!!! Too politically correct - is Disney involved?!?!?!
True
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"
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 ;-)
There are a lot of current Hollywood "stars" that could learn a lot from Tom Selleck on honor and character. This dude has been and is a class act
Now he's pushing reverse mortgages.
That's not honorable 😭😭😭
Yes,,he is also gay. Watch movie In and Out.
@@sudipjharealtor963 Thomas Magnum is the man.
My tube, playing a part as an actor doesn’t remotely mean you’re gay.
Apparently you need to learn the difference between reality and make believe.
@@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!
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!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👑👑👑
Tom Selleck is an honorable man for honoring his contract. He's a good guy!
Love magnum pi. To reboot this show would be awful. Only one magnum. And that's this man
Sylvia S Too late! the trailer for the reboot launched today! it's terrible!
Big Sonny yeah, i saw the trailer. Terrible!
They could've done a movie or tv reunion show with the original cast,but with the passing of John Hillerman it's doubtful in my opinion.
Saw the pilot........it was a flop.
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.
Rest in peace Higgie baby!!
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!
Tom is the John Wayne of our time.
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.
Could you imagine Ford doing Magnum PI ?
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.
agreed . If things woked ok Tom would have hot Indinan Jones and Magnum PI
*****
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.
+quintus yeah,... if it meant losing any Mangnum....no deal.
What a show!
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!!
The best episodes were always when Magnum and Higgie Baby would get on each others nerves.
I can't believe they think anyone else can fill this role. Only one magnum is right.
That was great. Tom ages so well. He hardly seems a day older than in his Magnum days.
Thanks for the clip!
I love Tom Selleck. He reminds me of my late Dad, who was a fan too.
Magnum PI was a great show and I love the Jesse Stone telefilms too.
Me too
Funny my Dad didn`t like it but i DID lol
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...
I want to be remembered like Tom Selleck is being honored to this day. I used to watch Magnum PI as a little young man.
Man, what a bunch of great tv shows we had back in the days. I remember I never missed Magnum P.I.
No one can be tom selleck .this tv show magnum people will see again again and again through ages it has already been immortalised.
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.
And any and all of the westerns.
👍
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
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 has always reminded me as a larger later edition of Clark Gable.
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.
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.
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
Such an honorable guy
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.
I would have loved to watch Tom Selleck do a western with The Duke, John Wayne. That would have been great!
So sad when this show ended...my favorite show without a doubt.
they should have road that wave on the surf ski forever
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!!!
Magnum, Ferrari, Hawai, hairy chest, tennis short. Best ever!!
He was the perfect Magnum...a classic TV detective!
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. :)
My wife and I watch the new magnum series one time, we thought it was horrible!
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.
Of course you did, he drove a ferrari, hehe!
I agree. He was kind of a slicker version of Rockford.
@Dalton Jones Your Mom just yelled down "supper's ready"!
C L actually, if it isn’t a Porsche, I wouldn’t turn my head to see it.
@Dalton Jones Did she also serve Aunt Jemima maple syrup?
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.
Both men are class acts and excellent actors!
Tom Sellck : one of the most charismatic man in the history of hollywood
Magnum P.I. for ever!!!
Every Thursday night at 8:00/9:00 central. I was there!
Yep and I avoided The Cosby Show because I wanted to watch Magnum PI I don't feel bad about my decision now
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.
There is only one Magnum PI, I feel this new show doesn't do justice to the original. He is the best actor in everything he does.
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
Don't touch " Magnum PI and Miami Vice " ...
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.
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!
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 clip they show.....with Ivan.....was the best 2 part episode hands down. It had it all. Mac was killed, and Magnum avenges him.
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!!!
Absolutely right, only ONE Magnum!!! Sigh...
You might as well cancel magnum PI. should have brought back Tom Selleck
And now Blue Bloods. No stoppin' him. I don't foresee the Magnum re-make lasting. The original is just too good.
I thought one of his best movie roles was Quigley Down Under. I just really liked him in that!
Yep, Selleck did a couple of really good western type movies. And, I agree with you on Quigley, that was one of his best.
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.
Shane Anderson mj
Great movie. Alan Rickman was excellent in it as well
I was subjected to that movie over and over by my late husband. He LOVED it!
My favorite show as a young teenager. Good times...
Tom Selleck doesn't seem like a big shot actor to me. I seems more like he is the kind of guy I'd want go bowling with.
you have to have old dusseldorf beer if you want him to go bowling
magnum pi and miami vice was just the best shows of 80s and 90s !!!!! and still is i think...
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,
Ramon Fernandez yeah , he should retire in Javea or Denia jejejej
NAVY! not ARMY
One Magnum, that is Tom Selleck and only one Indiana Jones, Harrison Ford
Ll
Also one Columbo, Peter Falk, One Rockford, James Garner, One Jessica Fletcher, Angela Lansbury and one Perry Mason, Raymond Burr.
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 !😉😃🇺🇸🙏✝️
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.
Female Higgins... Haha ...what a joke. Leftist agenda is killing everything.
@@freyaaldrnari6086 I suppose you don't like women in the services too?
@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.
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.
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.
Higgins ,TC Rick Carol all the supporting cast were brilliant .
you ave to watch out for the lads zeus and Apollo ,they are pretty sneaky
there wont ever be a show like that.it was a once in a life time ..just Forever in time
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.
Tom Selleck was my first little girl crush. My husband has a moustache, and I won't let him ever shave it off!
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 don't understand why they make new series when 100% of the people would be happy to see the old one…
The sexist and classy....TOM SELLECK. THE BEST
The knid of man Gillette no longer wants as a man!!!
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 can see the Magnum bounce flicker every once in awhile in the Jesse Stone movies!
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...
He is still Beautiful
He was great in Runaway (1984). He and Gene Simmons were a perfect hero vs villian tandem.
He can not be replaced ever
i dont know how I got here, but I'm glad I watched it.. Thanks for posting..
"is that you Roy ?"
Quigly Lives!!!#
3:00 How was Magnum "the private investigator for the yuppie generation" while being full of Viet Nam and military references?
Yeah, we called them queers back then.
+Marvin Harrison Smith II You don't know what you are saying.
Marvin Harrison Smith II
HAHA! You win the best comment on the internet!
I thought the same thing
@American Patriot
What is snowflakes?
I watched the new one and I do not know.
th-cam.com/video/G2cAPEVfzis/w-d-xo.html
A man of integrity.
Emmy Award Winner Tom Selleck🏆
great show !!
If they do another "Indiana Jones" film, Tom Selleck should have a role. Hell, he could be a good villain.
My mom had a major crush on Tom when I was growing up I remember sitting as a little kid in the 80s sitting on the living room floor waiting for Magnum to start on a Saturday night. I am 45 now and still watch everything he as been in from crappy movies to great ones I have followed Tom's career all my life. So as my mom lol. P. S I refuse to watch the new Magnum
It's the same with most iconic shows.
David Hasselhoff will always be Michael Knight.
Richard Dean Anderson will always be MacGyver.
Jean-Michael Vincent will always be Stringfellow Hawk.
Mr.T will always be B.A Baraccus.
I could go on but you get my point.:P
Damn I miss the good "old" tv-shows, they were actually awesome.
The funniest episode was when he and Higgins played practical jokes on each other. The best episode overall was when he wasted Ivan!
Thank you Mr selleck, I grew up watching magnum pi and have many fond memories watching your show with my parents. It was a great show! Thank you.
If there ever is a Magnum Pi Movie led by Tom obviously, they would do well by paying tribute to John Hillerman and the Higgy-Baby character.
Larry hit the nail on the head, it was the chemistry of cast..the "new" show refuse to watch (saw preview) due to messing with perfection..higgins recast woman!? SERIOUSLY ?!??! Destroy car?!?!? Please..STOP MESSING WITH CLASSICS!!😠
,
If I had to select the greatest male figure in recent history I'd vote for Tom Selleck.
