And Magnum had some seriously dark moments.Any good show has some funny with some bad, because that's more representative of life.Miami Vice the movie wasn't THAT far from the TV show in theme and darkness, with the exception of 20 years of experience behind the director/writer and the fact that they weren't looking to do a serial TV series and did not have to worry about ratings, in comparission of the TV medium.S&H was NOTHING like the show other then the use of the names and the Torino.As a fan who grew up watching Magnum and has the DVDs, I would be more interested in seeing a 20 years later thing with Tom Sellek. But I respect that Sellek has said that he'll have nothing to do with the film or Magnum, that it is in his past and he's onto other things in his life. That's cool. Just so long as he's doen with that three-men-and-a-wombwart crap.Sellek's portrayl of Eisenhower a few years back was amazing.As for Magnum, I will hope for the best and expect the absolute worst.</blockquote>
