He's Magnum and I'm Not


So, I’ll admit it, I loved Magnum P.I. when I was a kid. The cool Ferrari, Doberman’s named Apollo and Zeus and a friend with a chopper…..oh yeah…I almost forgot all the hot babes….You see, Magnum put the P.I in P.I.M.P…..Ok, so maybe that was really lame but not as lame as what Selleck said last night about the upcoming movie remake of his old show.

“I tell you what worries me - because I love Magnum & we have loyal fans - is they take these TV show titles, & they buy them & they spend $100 million on special effects, & then they make fun of them & trivialize it. Then they try & get the actor who used to be in it to do some ridiculous cameo to prove to the audience that it's OK. & I will not do that."

Ummmmmm…..Yeah, Tom……how much more trivialized can you make a private eye in a half-buttoned, Hawaiian shirt who in every episode makes sexy-time with some bimbo in his basement and then 10 minutes later is abusing his butler with a dorky one-liner and then running away from the doberman’s that wanna rip his asshole out?

I guess I could say I didn’t want my penis trivialized by having my life story reenacted by a porn star, too but everyone knows that, just like your TV show, a bigger, better version is probably fine with everyone. Especially my wife. God bless her. Because no one ever called me “Magnum”. Mostly, my past dates just stood there and giggled. And now you know why I am so angry.
