re: #196 urbanmeemaw

I’m watching reruns on Encore every night. When I watched it in the 80’s off and on it was mostly for the Tom Selleck eye candy. Now I really appreciate what a great series it was - the variety of plots, relationships between Magnum, Higgins, TC and Rick, the exploration of social issues (PTSD, racism), balance of comedy and drama - I think it’s one of the best series in the history of television. Selleck is a great actor.

There are only a tiny handful of TV shows I can go back to and watch at any time - the ones that hold up and remain entertaining. For me it’s Start Trek, Hogan’s Heroes, Rockford Files, Hill Street Blues & Magnum PI. I’d hate to try and rank them but you are so right about what they did and how they did it on Magnum with a flair rarely matched since.
