Cagney & Lacey, Magnum P.I. Rebooting At CBS With Pilots!

January 26, 2018 by RenewCancelTV 10 Comments

Cagney & Lacey Rebooted

CBS is reaching deep into the TV afterlife to reboot two ’80s classics in the shape of Cagney & Lacey and Magnum P.I.

Per THR:

Cagney and Lacey is being written by Carpenter and described as a reboot of the iconic series about two female police detectives and friends who keep the streets of L.A. safe. The reboot is a co-production with CBS Television Studios and MGM Television. Cagney and Lacey continues CBS’ big push for female characters and writers this season under new network leaders Kelly Kahl and Thom Sherman.

Per Deadline:

Co-written by Lenkov and fellow Hawaii Five-0 executive producer/co-showrunner Eric Guggenheim, Magnum P.I. will feature the same central quartet of characters as the original but, instead of four guys, it will consist of three men and a woman, with Higgins (played by John Hillerman) reconceived as Juliet Higgins. CBS/CBS Studios took a similar approach with Sherlock Holmes’ sidekick Watson on Elementary, who became Joan Watson.

The new Magnum P.I. follows Thomas Magnum, a decorated ex-Navy SEAL who, upon returning home from Afghanistan, repurposes his military skills to become a private investigator. With help from fellow vets Theodore “TC” Calvin and Orville “Rick” Wright, as well as that of disavowed former MI:6 agent Juliet Higgins, Magnum takes on the cases no one else will, helping those who have no one else to turn to. Action, adventure and comedy aside, Magnum P.I. will also explore a brotherhood forged by the trauma of combat, what it means to return home an ex-soldier, and a commitment to continuing to serve while in the private sector.

The original Cagney & Lacey starred Tyne Daly and Sharon Gless, surviving seven seasons on CBS from 1981 to 1988.

The original Magnum P.I. starred Tom Selleck, surviving eight seasons on CBS from 1980 to 1988.

Are you happy with the planned reboots of Cagney & Lacey and Magnum P.I., or should CBS leave well alone?

    They ran out of ideas 2 years ago with they rebooted MacGyver and other 80s shows.. this is just more shit development of the same. No new stories and even the formulas are running thin.. so reuse old stories with the same formulaic theme. It’s not the networks’ fault. It’s the Idiocracy that watches this crap. We are.. a nation of retards!

      MacG is at least funny. The moment it becomes political, anti-capitalism, feministic, and homosexual agenda. You know the Social Justice not really Warriors BS. Then it gets dropped. I hope Magnum-PI turn out good. If not then forget about it.

    They should leave well enough alone. They obviously don’t want to pay writers to come up with something new. Just the reality crap that is unscripted…….
