Top notch response.
Kinda ballsy of that guy to say they can do a better job than the original show, something I seriously doubt. I would like to see them to beat episodes like: Did You The Sunrise? Home by the Sea, Echoes of the Mind, Little Girl Who? Death and Taxes, Solo Flight, Laura and Limbo. Episodes that were quite dark and showed more guts then anything else on TV at the time. Magnum PI dared to go where MacGyver stays clear from most of the time. Maybe Magnum was at least in his second half of the run aiming at an older audience. Of course we have our episodes like Kill Zone and Lesson In Evil. Then again, two different shows but they're so good because they're so opposites. MacGyver is neat, decent and is the guy you go to when you have problems. Magnum is sloppy, unorganized and needs favors from his friends, instead of the other way around.
I don't know about Lenkov yet. I still need to catch up on the show. I just wonder how they really feel about it. They probably know they can't do anything about it. But there's no one ever saying: "hands off." Don't you think producers and actors should have a say in this to protect their product? If a show had his run, it has had his run. MacGyver had 7 great seasons, Magnum had 8 great seasons. When it's done, it's done.
On the other side, I think it's interesting to see how shows from back in those days would work now. Though they can never beat the original.
I think the poison that was used was applied to this knife, passed to the mutton when it was cut and then activated by the wine. - MacGyver. Sometimes you just have to die a little inside to be reborn and rise again as a stronger and wiser version of you. It's better to be a little sad than to be fake content.

Having 2 Shows filming in Hawaii, I can't really fault them for doing that. Also, it's not a real cross over, probably just the Magnum Team eating at Kamekona's Food truck or something. And now that I recall, I think I've read on SpoilerTV a while ago (or after the Upfronts) that Dr. Noelani (played by Kimee Balmilero) will be in Pilot Episode. I haven't kept up with the new Season, but as far as I know she's a minor lab character (similarly to Jill in the MacGyver Reboot).
I think it's more to get H50 fans on board as early as possible. If the show was on after H50 on Fridays, that would be easy to achieve, but now they have to get H50 fans to tune in on Mondays too; especially with the competition on other channels on Monday.
Ratings for H50 are still good, but who knows? H50 might be done in a few years (if the main actors decide to quit), but the fans could stay for Magnum instead of flocking to other Shows first. So they have to get them to check out the Show now.
That's always a sign you might be in trouble if your dashboard is on fire... Currently blogging about the MacGyver Reboot on Dashboard On Fire
