Reboots:

It looks like ABC is pondering the idea of a revival of Magnum PI. I mean if you think about it, Fox is tackling Lethal Weapon and The Exorcist, CBS - MacGyver... so why not toss your hat into the unoriginal bin with a new Magnum PI? Sure, why not!!!??? It requires very little imagination to tap a title that will catch some older demographic viewers and hopefully gel with the younger, money-spending demo.

Aaand not to be outdone, CBS is working on a S.W.A.T. reboot. It has an interesting creative team behind it, with it being executive produced by Justin Lin (Fast & Furious),  Shawn Ryan (The Shield), Neal H. Moritz (Preacher) and Aaron Rahsaan Thomas (Sleepy Hollow). So it really might not suck. I mean, what the heck, let's toss another shoot-em-up TV show at us.
