Why Was ‘Magnum P.I.’ Canceled? CBS Boss Explains
CBS canceled Magnum P.I. after four seasons on May 12. And according to CBS Entertainment president Kelly Kahl, they did not make that decision lightly.
The reboot, starring Jay Hernandez, is one of the few network dramas to feature a Latino lead. Its cancellation was reportedly due to licensing fee disagreements between CBS and Universal Television, per Deadline. Despite the show’s popularity (it ranked No. 9 out of CBS’s 14 network dramas, per TVLine), CBS and Universal Television reportedly could not reach an agreement.
Universal and CBS’s other shows, the FBI franchise and The Equalizer, were renewed. As were CSI: Vegas and S.W.A.T., which had less viewership than Magnum P.I. Kahl said the licensing disagreement was one of the contributing factors behind the cancelation.
“You have some tough decisions to make and you have lots of factors — and I’m not going to rule [the licensing fee] out as one of them,” she told TVLine. “It was a great team to work with, and one of the tougher decisions we had to make.”
Good Sam, How We Roll, United States of Al, and B Positive also got the axe from CBS last week. Over at NBC, Mr. Mayor, The Endgame, Ordinary Joe, and Kenan all got cut. According to data from TV Series Finale, Magnum P.I., The Endgame, Mr. Mayor, B Positive, and United States of Al were some the highest-rated series to get canceled ahead of the 2022–2023 season.
The Amazing Race, Blue Bloods, Bob ♥ Abishola, CSI: Vegas, FBI, FBI: International, FBI: Most Wanted, Ghosts, NCIS, NCIS: Hawai’i, NCIS: Los Angeles, The Neighborhood, Secret Celebrity Renovation, Survivor, S.W.A.T., The Equalizer , Tough as Nails, and Young Sheldon will all return to CBS this Fall.

It’s a great Friday night show and shouldn’t have been canceled. Over 6M viewers every week not including a huge global audience. Needs to be shopped around if CBS doesn’t want it

I think it stinks they canceled magnum pi. One of the few shows on regular TV worth watching. Would be awesome if someone else picked it up.

This can't be happening! Now that they (Thomas and Higgins) finally get together they are ending the show!!!! I faithfully watched this from the beginning. Just frustrating to find a show, get hooked immediately and now it gets canceled???? Unbelievable! Dumping the show is a mistake!

A poor decision to cancel a show with a diverse cast and valuable storylines, including a celebration of veterans. Magnum P.I. helped to anchor Friday nights for CBS and millions of fans are now left hanging. The cast and crew were blindsided as well, which is part of the reason there is such a huge backlash. That's not how people should be treated. I'm extremely disappointed and hope that someone else will pick up the show to let it finish its run. A true shame. This was a comfort show to many and a boost to the Hawaiian economy.

Magnum was never advertised properly like the CBS shows. I always saw other shows having the next episode trailers on several times before they aired, however Magnum rarely was, and I watch a lot of CBS shows. Despite this Magnum's ratings were pretty good, and always got more viewers in their time slot than the other shows with the same time slot. Another dumb decision by CBS. I expect to see more so called reality or contest shows in its place which I will not watch. Once in a while listen to the viewers and not some executive who has a kid who likes these shows. I hope Magnum gets picked up by another service who will give it a fair shot.

Absolute mistake cancelling Magnum PI. No interest in investing any time in whatever else CBS is offering up and have fingers crossed some other network or streaming platform will pick up Magnum and it’s remarkable cast and characters so that the millions of fans invested in the show can see the stories continue.

G
Totally agree with all the comments. All the money CBS has and they cancel a highly rated show and can’t find a way to keep it on the air??!! So many reasons s to keep it… show with Hispanic actor which is rare, about veterans and life of country, love the story lines and the show is not offensive with language, overt sexuality etc. I’m not getting into any new show replacements! Terribly disappointed!!

I totally agree. This is a great show with great characters with great actors. This cancelation really makes me sad.

If CBS had the licensing rights Magnum P.I. would have gotten renewed?! Plus it was one the highest rated shows to get canceled? I wish I bought what CBS is saying. 🙄🤦♀️

Yes me too!!!!!!! Guess I will put CBS on the back burner for future seasons. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

His whole explanation stinks, in my opinion. I think he was just looking for an excuse to cancel the series. It had one of the most diverse casts on television, not to mention a Hispanic lead. Here's hoping Jay Hernandez (& the rest of the cast) move on to even greater things because they deserve it after this debacle. It was just all handled so poorly.

This is unacceptable! If a well liked, successful show, that is usually ranked in the TV Guide Top 25, can’t stay on the air, what hope does any other broadcast show have of making it. As usual, it all comes down to money. I assure you, the average fan, or television watcher does not care about licensing. If that is the deciding factor, may I suggest the powers that be, get their priorities straight. What a sad sacrifice and a huge loss for CBS, just for the sake of the almighty, greedy dollar and the pocket of the fat cat it goes into! 😡

Magnum was a great show with a wonderful cast. They definitely made a mistake canceling it when they should have cancelled CSI, which used to be a great show but not anymore. They should definitely reconsider Magnum’s fate.

G
Cancel Survivor. I am so sick of those kind of shows.
13

P
CBS will NEVER cancel Survivor because it costs so little for the network to produce. Quality doesn't matter anymore. That's why ABC is airing FOUR hours a week of Bachelor In Paradise next fall. It's ridiculous.

Bad decision

According to Deadline, Magnum basically got canceled because of CBS going through rough negotiations with Universal for The FBIs and The Equalizer. CBS liked Magnum but wasn't going to kill themselves to bring it back and were willing to walk away since they felt they had enough pilots to pick from to replace it on the schedule.

Just heard the sad news that Magnum PI renewal decision was reversed, and CBS has now canceled my favorite show. CBS is such a disappointing network.
Great cast, can't say they were not diverse enough. AND so encouraging with military Vets having storylines that were important and relevant. Positive relationships, an uplifting show people could enjoy.
Really hope another network will pick up the show.

Another reason to not tune in to anything CBS presents

I hope some other network picks it up because it’s a great show and this makes me want to completely quit watching other shows with this network. Good Sam and The Endgame are both good shows that we really enjoyed. Will be looking at other networks shows.

Unbelievable one of the best shows on TV. Yet all the stupid reality shows and terrible sitcoms that CBS airs were renewed. I hope another network picks it up.

This sucks big-time. This is the only show I enjoyed watching on CBS. I may never watch a program on that network again.

I hope Universal shops Magnum PI around. It was a great show. Usually 18 to 49 year olds are going out on Friday evenings, so if another network picks it up and moves it to a Tuesday night or wednesday night, the viewership should go up. This would be a great pickup for another network.

Too Bad, I'm hoping we can watch it on other station, because I will follow it wherever it goes. Great Show!!

How can you cancel Magnum???

CBS had better figure out how to get Magnum P.l. back on air. This was/is a great show
6

Once again another bad mistake made by CBS. 1st they pulled the seal team off and stuck it on the Paramount plus platform, They have few shows left that are worth watching if I was being honest. The show had everything Including great story lines ,racial diversity, great storylines, storyline, for veteran issues. Once again CBS you've dropped the ball. Also makes no sense when you already have a show based in Hawaii with NCIS Hawaii to cut one of your shows from that area you can use the same production teams and offices to help alleviate cost.

We always looked forward to watching Magnum on Friday nights. We’re going to miss them. Now I wonder what they’re going to replace Magnum with? Probably won’t be worth watching!

I think I’m not going to watch CBS that much next season I love Magnum P.I. I did watch a lot of shows on CBS but this is ridiculous!!!!!

Out of all the shows to cancel, magnum wasn't one of them. That was a great show along with talented actors.
5

B
I think it’s absolutely criminal that they are canceling Magnum PI over some stupid licensing agreement. Yet, we have to put up with those ridiculous reality shows. If I wanted reality I would just look at my life. I watch TV to get away from reality. I won’t even watch CBS on Wednesdays because of the stupid reality shows. Who needs to watch people eating bugs!?
5

Let another network pick it up?

Please don't brng in another reality TV show. They are behond pathetic and an insult to people's intelligence. A family TV show just bit the dust again.

Once again, a good show that the majority en;joys is cancelled. C''mon CBS quit cancelling good TV! Maybe try to reach an agreement and bring it back.

Settle the disagreement and bring it back.

With the popularity this show has, it should have never been cancelled. Networks need to be a little more considerate to what the people want and stop being so selfish and money hungry.

I loved Magnum PI , was my favorite show next to SWAT to watch, CBS you need to bring it back
5

G
CBS definitely should of fought harder for two show. Magnum PI and The United States of Al.
I liked The Good Sam as well. But the first two were a big loss for CBS. I wish someone else would pick them up. It would teach them for the mistake they have made.
I don’t know what is going to be on tv next year with all the stuff they are canceling.
5
-
R
I can't believe they are cancelling Magnum when their other shows are just plain boring and old and I mean old like 10-20 years old not to mention duplicated themes. Just shows how out of touch they are. Heck it won't be long they will have a NCIS for every state and survivor 100 year old episode. I think they are in financial trouble after purchasing CBS right before pandemic.

Very disappointed and angry that this show is cancelled. It’s always about the money, isn’t it? People who already have enough want more. They couldn’t agree? So, they just cancel? No regard for Hawaii’s economy, the actors, the viewers. I won’t be watching CBS anymore.
4

C
Disappointed viewer here, Magnum was one of my favorite shows and I am not a huge tv person, but I really liked the writing and the actors, great show. You can have all those reality shows, I have never watched any of them and have no desire to see real people lying, cheating, stealing, and conning other people; I think they are one of the problems not a solution

Bad decision! One of my favorite shows and it gave us a Hawaii fix each week! Friday nights will not be the same now! I love the characters, the story lines and definitely the scenery. Shame on CBS for cancelling such a popular show. We can only hope another network will pick it up!!!

Another poor decision by CBS cancelling one of their highest rated shows. Maybe another outlet can do what CBS can't - come to an agreement on licensing and reboot this show that fans love.

Canceling Magnum PI after what happened in the season finale is just wrong. It should at least be given an abbreviated season, so fans could feel some kind of closure!

Very unhappy Magnum got cancelled. That show made my Fri night. Why would you cancel something everyone enjoyed. You all need to work out problems not cancel because of a licensing fee. You should think how the people feel!

I absolutely can’t believe that they canceled Magnum. This was one of the smartest programs on all of TV. I love the original Magnum, but this program was even better. Always love the Hawaiian scenery, great writing, and valuable values that this program offered. Hopefully somebody can bring this great series back!

I'm going to have to make the difficult business decision to cancel all my cable subscriptions as the networks cannot support good TV, like the Magnum PI series. I'm not saying the licencing fees....err I mean the subsription fees dont play into it, but I'm tired of paying all this money for lousy TV. Cutting the cord I guess..

We are very disappointed that Magnum PI was canceled. It didn’t have much violence and the characters were good at heart. For CBS to keep so many crime shows is a disappointment. They made the wrong call.

I agree with everyone, it should not have been canceled! They keep these stupid shows on and get rid of the good ones! Why because it wasn't showing a bunch of T&A, or other scenarios.
I hope another network picks them up or CBS wakes up and brings it back. We want Mangum P.I.!!!!!!

I love Magnum PI and am totally bummed about the news of its cancellation. Fans finally see Magnum and Higgins get together and they are cancelling the show? CBS needs to come to an agreement and get Magnum back! Or us fans need to get a petition going for it’s return. It doesn’t make sense to cancel a show that was always delivery a high in the ratings!!!!
2
-
O
It is one of my favorites. Carries on the tradition of great plots, camaraderie between great characters. Excellent acting and story lines. Continues the tradition of awesome writing and action in Paradise. Follows the mold of the original of Magnum and Hawaii 50. This show cannot be cancelled. Please pick it up NBC and shame on you CBS.

I loved this version of Magnum PI. The chemistry between the actors was really great. I'm sick of cheaply made "reality" shows
2

O
This is the 2nd year that CBS Kelly Kahl has said, "this was a business decision, and this was a tough decision..." Remember: this is EXACTLY what he said last year about NCIS: New Orleans!! I think what he means is, ...we know people love these good, quality shows, but we have an agenda we want to pursue and to he'll with what our audiences want!. We know there were shows with lower ratings that we renewed, but we like to cancel the shows that we know, will upset our viewers the most....! Agenda? Yeah, we know exactly what that agenda is!
2
-
P
I loved Magnum P.I.. The entire cast was fun to watch. I'd rather watch Magnum over NCIS Hawaii since their background music is so loud you can't hardly hear the soft talking people on the show. They're bringing on other stuff and they think they're going to have a big audience more than they would Magnum I doubt it.

You saved the Equalizer and FBI over Magnum? Seriously? Bad programming decision-big time. Here I was waiting for it to return after the Superbowl and come to find out it's been axed! WTH? Very disappointing. Great story lines, diverse cast, the military/veteran connection and the Hawaiian setting. Magnum was one of the only shows my wife would watch together. No wonder network TV is nearing extinction. Hope another network will bring it back. Mahalo

Magnum P.I. was a lot better show than NCIS and NCIS Hawaii. I wonder why the writers for the NCIS shows have written such awful story lines. Not only are they so boring, they are so predictable. Awful stuff! You should have kept Magnum.

I think they made a lot of wrong calls. Many of those shows I watched every week, ia rmakes me mad. Other shows need to be cut, but they are keeping them, geez......

I'm very disturbed about the decision to cancel Magnum PI! I loved that Magnum and Juliet finally expressed their true feelings with that passionate kiss for the finale. I'm sure all the fans were hoping they would eventually fall in love and get married. I also enjoyed the other cast members and their stories as well. The comaraderie between the entire cast was very enjoyable to watch. And now you're leaving us hanging!!! We're all hoping another network picks us this show! I only watched three CBS shows to begin with... Magnum, Bull and NCIS. I understand why Bull was cancelled, but I'm hoping that a Bull spin-off drama will be created for the Fall lineup.

I am very disappointed. I loved the Friday line up when it was MacGyver, Magnum, Blue Bloods..
Heck The Endgame was great as well.
CBS makes so much money, they should have asked the 6 million views what we want.
Hey Hulu, Peacock, HBO Max, Amazon Prime, we need you to pick up some of out TV shows.

I think the crappy excuse that CBS handed us just takes the cake! It was good CLEAN entertainment; and yes, a very diverse cast. “Couldn’t reach an agreement”, equates to Money.

I think they need to get rid of the trashy shows it’s on there and keep the good ones that’s what’s wrong with the TVs now you get nothing but a bunch of crap and who cares we want the good stuff keep it on I don’t know who makes the decisions but they’re pretty stupid
1

B
We watch Shark Tank and Magnum PI on Fridays. We hate Blue Bloods. I don't like Tom Selic since he started lying to people about reverse mortgages. It is a lie that you don't lose the family home. They take advantage of old people. They should get rid of him and Survivor!!!!
Keep The New Magnum PI and the United States of AL!!! That How We Roll was awful!!! Watched 5 minutes of the first one and then changed the channel.

So, they cancelled a series with a Hispanic male lead & replaced it with a series that has a white male lead because we don't have enough of those. Got it. CBS has, apparently, forgotten that diversity is our strength. Prejudiced, much?

The democrats are getting more more un reliable Magnum PI must be like work and it’s typical for democrats to make poor job decisions , so canceling shows like BPositive and Magnum P.I. It’s a monkey see monkey do world the DNC and the Biden administration are so reckless it’s comical and sad so a long as Biden and everyone in the Democratic Party it’s only logical that Hollywood follow the same path also with democrats not being loyal to their voters Hollywood does not care about ratings either

I look at renewals and shudder

boring. The reality shows are junk. Time to cut stations and stream.

If it does get a reboot, they need the dobermans to be featured more prominently, like they were in the original series. that was the only thing that was keeping this show from being as big as the original...we need to see more of the dogs!

I can’t understand why anyone would cancel The Endgame... really good show, very interesting, I guess that’s why it was cancelled..To bad, they always get rid of the good ones..

That's right keep crap on like those reality shows. I watch TV for entertainment not watching other people's problems. Please reconsider!!

It’s great entertainment on Friday night. Great cast. Yet survivor and some other dipshit shoes remain on TV.

All the FBI shows should have gone. And the reality shows, that are fake, not to mention all the competition shows that have zero merit. Don’t forget the stupidity of married at first sight, bachelor, bachelorette and love island plus the behind bars bs. Nice comedic series is what a viewer likes at the end of agonizing work days mixed with a few crime shows such as the original NCIS (not the disgusting NCIS Hawaii) and definitely the mixture of comedy and investigation that is found in Magnum PI.

I think it stinks. Magnum is a good show and it is on a major network. I do not have cable because it is too expensive. I have a $10.00 antenna. It looks like a character from SpongeBob. Thank you xfinity. So please keep the show on network programming.

I think it is awful that MPI was cancelled. People are sick of those stupid reality shows. We know they are cheap to put on but must we have soooooo many now. MPI was they only show I really liked and looked at on Friday nights. They is just nothing on TV on Friday night and now CBS cut this one. Please keep your viewership and bring MPI BACK!!!!!!!

I am so mad at CBS for canceling Magnum PI and that’s a bunch of BS about the TVs in the fighting with each other over not getting their Way people like Magnum PI so we have to suffer because of all you people

I am highly upset that Magnum PI is being canceled and all these stupid reality shows are taking over TV. Why take off the good shows??????
-
G
CBS is steady cutting its shows down to nothing. I only have 3 shows left on CBS.
-
G
Do not cancel magnum pi keep it on
-
C
Stupidity cancelling a high rated show- they need to cancel some of the stupid ones and most are lower rated than magnum
-
O
Shame on CBS
-

It stinks that viewers have so little sayin what gets cancelled. Apparently, ratings don't matter much either. Hopefully, some one else is smarter than CBS and picks up Magnum PI.

CBS is making a BIG mistake Magnum was one of three shows I watch every week.
I can't believe they are going to cancel the best show they had on their network.

I and my wife are so upset. We don’t watch ABC, NBC, or CBS maybe 3days a week anymore. The programming has just gone to pot. If you are willing to watch people scheming to win money these channels suck most of the time. I thought we would quit watching Hallmark once the pandemic was over but we had started watching the FBI night…Magnum, Hawaii 5-o night and Eqaulizer night. NCIS night. You have taken one of the decent nights away. CBS you do not have to call it Magnum PI just bring back the characters and premise. We quit Direct TV because they wouldn’t work with CBS…You are definitely making us question our decision.

I think it is ashame to cancel a show like Magnum P.I. . It is a celebration for the Veterans, CBS should cancel Big Brother and some of the reality TV shows and keep Magnum . Maybe ABC, fox, or NBC will be it up .and start where you left off . Maybe another station will also pick up United States of Al too. Shame on you CBS, what other good show are you canceling

Awful decision. This show is amazing And why would you cancel it now after they finally get together it’s ridiculous
-

Stupid,stupid, stupid mistake CBS!!! This was a great show and I think it’s better than the original! It was just getting good! The chemistry between all the cast members made it my favorite 2022 show. So much better than 20 years of stupid survivor and the other dumbass reality shows!
Well it looks like I’m boycotting CBS! First Madam Secretary and now Magnum. I can see why so many are turning to cable networks. Put Friday nights back together- Swat- Magnum PI- Blue Bloods! CBS fix this problem!!
-
G
My guess would be because it didn't have Tom Selleck, John Hillerman, Roger Moseley and Larry Manetti. You know... the actual cast of Magnum, PI.

The show was boring. It had no substance. Story line jumped all around.

Magnum was a great show and the new storylines were developing well. However, there was way too much effort to promote the military. We've already got too many shows that do that already, we need to downplay military and being promoting progressive peaceful endeavors.

What’s wrong with promoting the military. Better than promoting the murderers
