There's just something about the new Magnum that I don't like. He just seems really smarmy from the commercials. I need to watch a few of the old eps to see if the "lovable rogue" that I remember from my childhood is really just a cocky asshole. Which I fear.

Procedurals 1: Anything You Say Can and Will Be Used Against You.
This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]
Selleck (and Magnum) had charisma by the bucket. You could even see it when he was playing Lance White on Rochford. Mini-Magnum doesn't charis at all. The supporting cast is good, though, especially Weeks.
Ugh. I am so tired of watching (or not watching) shows where the lead is trash, but the supporting case is good.
Ok, I'm only a quarter into season 6 of Elementary, but I am really enjoying Joan's suits.
The Lance White eps are amomg my faves.
Did anyone watch The Rookie?
I did! I liked it, but it was a pretty standard procedural. I was hoping for more.
I fell asleep watching The Rookie. Twice. I liked what I saw well enough, but obviously it didn't keep my attention. (To be fair, both attempts to watch happened too late at night).
I was hoping for more, too. I have a feeling this is just going to be a "Sure he's old, but look at that devilish charm" series.
I also don't know exactly how old NF. My apologies if he is 40 +/- a couple of years, but I'm not buying him as 40. On screen, he reads as late 40s/early 50s.
Did you watch it, Tom? What did you think?
He's 47 according to IMDB. His romantic lead is 30 also according to IMDB.
Do they treat his age (or his character's) realistically, or did the show just borrow some of those old Ryan Caulfield: Year One scripts from when Sean Maher got his start and throw in a few old age jokes while having NF chase down crooks like he's twentysomething?
