Actor Tom Selleck recently finished his long stint as Commissioner Frank Reagan on the hit police procedural series Blue Bloods. However, he is also known for playing Thomas Magnum in the 1980s crime-drama series Magnum, P.I. The series caused Selleck to turn down the Indiana Jones franchise despite being the first choice for the title role.

During an interview, Selleck reflected on being offered the role that eventually went to Harrison Ford. The actor recalled having just shot the pilot for the crime-drama series that turned him into a household name, which had him turn down the movie. Selleck revealed the exact moment he realized the first installment was going to be a hit and here is what he had to say about losing out on it.

Tom Selleck revealed the Indiana Jones scene that had him sold on...

Whatever praise we have for Harrison Ford is simply not enough. There are really no words that can describe the level of talent the man has. After all, he is both Indiana Jones and Han Solo! Harrison Ford has a variety of iconic roles in his portfolio but it goes without saying that the fedora-wearing globetrotter will always stand out from the rest. It all began with Raiders of the Lost Ark in 1981 and since then, the legacy has only become more and more valuable with time.

It does make us wonder, would the franchise be as successful as it is today even without Harrison Ford or did his undeniable star power prove to be an added benefit to the films? What if another actor was in the lead role? Say, Tom Selleck?

Some cancellations always hurt more than others. That was certainly the case for the broadcast TV shows in 2024. We are still salty about some of those decisions.

We know that some TV shows have to come to an end. The writing is usually on the wall for some of them. The linear ratings are down, or the show just isn’t getting great reviews. However, this year, there were some cancellations that were completely unjustified. Or we lost great shows that just didn’t have the chance to find their audiences.

We’re taking a look back at 2024 and the TV cancellations that hurt the most. We’re not just sad; we’re salty. This is for broadcast only. There are some streaming cancellations that I absolutely hate!

There are very few comedies on TV now. This year has seen a few hits on NBC, but other networks have struggled.

Tom Selleck and Sam Elliot's 1982 Civil War Western film The Shadow Riders will be streaming for free next month. The movie hits Tubi on Jan. 1, 2025.

When the brothers return home, they find their siblings have been kidnapped, and they set out to rescue their family. Dominique Dunne and Katharine Ross starred alongside Selleck and Elliot in the film. The 96-minute movie premiered in the United States on Sept. 29, 1982, when it aired on CBS, foregoing a traditional theatrical run.

Tom Selleck's Magnum, P.I. was one of the most beloved shows of its time, and those who wish it could return - generic remake notwithstanding - will be delighted to know that Apple TV+ finally has the perfect replacement 36 years after the crime show ended. Selleck's Thomas Magnum was one of the iconic TV characters that defined the 80s, and while it would take quite some doing for the show's modern-day equivalent to leave the same size legacy, that doesn't stop it from being a great spiritual successor.

The very fact that Magnum, P.I. ran for 8 seasons is just one piece of evidence that it was continually received very well. It may not be the greatest show in the world by today's standards, but some of the best procedural TV shows of all time arguably wouldn't exist without Tom Selleck's impressive stint as Thomas Magnum. That being said, the...

Here is a look at Selleck and what might be next for the actor.

Tom Selleck Steps Out Looking Very Different

Tom Selleck spent most of the last decade starring in Blue Bloods. Of course, he played Police Commissioner Frank Reagan. As such, he was always dressed in uniform or at least close to it with a simple yet thick mustache. In a recent photo of the actor, he looked nothing like that.

The 1980s are often viewed as a pop cultural wasteland: a post-disco, style-over-substance hellscape where music videos turned vacuous bands and singers into chart-topping titans, blockbuster-chasing executives drained films of personality and artistic merit, and television pandered to a benumbed viewership with hacky sitcoms, formula dramas, and risible nighttime soaps. This was only half-true.

There was a good bit of dreck polluting the multiplexes and the airwaves throughout the eight-year Reagan era (and the Bush I hangover), but you'd have to be a killjoy to have lived through that time and turned up your nose at the bevy of brilliant artists who were working at their absolute peak.

The disappointed reaction that Tom Selleck had to the impending end of the CBS police procedural drama television series Blue Bloods, in which Selleck has starred as New York City Police Commissioner since the shows 2010 debut, is much different compared to how Selleck felt when his star-making television series Magnum, P.I. ended in 1988 after eight seasons. While Selleck, who will be set to turn 80 when the last episode of Blue Bloods debuts on CBS in December 2024, admitted that hed become exhausted from Magnum, P.I. by the time the series ended, he publicly pleaded with CBS to extend the television life of Blue Bloods for at least one more season.

Tom Selleck wasn't a fan of the title Magnum, P.I., believing it to be "really sh-tty". Selleck almost played Indiana Jones instead of Harrison Ford, but couldn't due to his contract for Magnum, P.I.

Today's television shows just can't match the coolness of an '80s action series. Four decades ago, nothing was more badass than a mustachioed Tom Selleck in the original Magnum P.I., Don Johnson in a white suit on Miami Vice, the chemistry between the A-Team, or the black leather jacket David Hasselhoff wore on Knight Rider. It wasn't enough, however, to have a cool star. An '80s action TV series also needed a vehicle that was just as cool to match them. Thomas Magnum had that sweet red Ferrari, James Crockett had a white Ferrari, the A-Team had a Gmc Vandura driven by B.A. Baracus (Mr. T), and Michael Knight had a jet-black Trans Am named K.I.T.T. that could talk. Throw in the likes of The Dukes of Hazzards' orange Dodge Charger and The Fall Guy's Gmc Sierra, and you have an era where...

Magnum, P.I. was a huge hit in the 1980s, giving star Tom Selleck his big break in Hollywood. Despite enjoying his time on the show, Selleck shared in his new memoir, You Never Know, that he disliked the show's title for one specific reason.

Per TVLine, Selleck wrote in his memoir that the beloved crime drama series, created by Donald P. Bellisario and Glen A. Larson, was originally titled Magnum. At that time, the title character's full name was also different, being Harry Magnum instead of Thomas Magnum. However, over concerns that Magnum and Harry Magnum were too similar to Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry in Magnum Force, CBS and Bellisario opted to re-title the show Magnum, P.I., since Selleck's title character worked as a private investigator. Although a minor change, Selleck thought Magnum, P.I. "was a shitty title" because he knew, from his brief time in Hawaii, that "P.

Steven Spielberg had a great run in the 80s and 90s churning out blockbusters while also venturing into compelling dramas. He entertained audiences with the Indiana Jones franchise that has since become a significant part of pop culture and also made audiences cry with emotionally driven films such as Empire of the Sun and The Color Purple.

The 90s saw some of the best works from the director and Spielberg managed to churn out two of the best films of the 90s in the same year Jurassic Park and Schindler’s List (both 1993).

Tom Selleck's absence from the Magnum P.I. reboot was never a serious plan but rather a light-hearted idea that fans hoped for. Selleck's successful post-Magnum P.I. career made it difficult for him to make a guest appearance on the reboot. The absence of Selleck's Magnum in the reboot is a respectful acknowledgement of his evolving legacy and the complexities of television production.

Magnum P.I. reboot attempted to recapture the magic of the original 1980s series starring Tom Selleck as the suave Hawaii-based private investigator Thomas Magnum. Yet, despite fans' hopes and speculations, a cameo from Selleck never materialized. The brains behind the reboot, Eric Guggenheim, recently provided insight into the matter.
