I liked the idea of last year's attempt better. Magnum's daughter taking over the business...

I am not sure how this one will fly because what made it special was Tom Selleck!
Yeah they had his daughter in one version of it. That would of left the door open for Selleck to return. If it were done today, it would probably be a lot more serious and darker and not as fun. Like I keep saying with other reboots and remakes, what made them great, special and nostalgic was the era they were in and the style and tone.
