Post by Wolfgang WildebloodPost by DuggyPost by BradNo, I'm still saying Magnum PI followed Hawaii 5-0. I'm just saying
that "1980" doesn't say other way.
I mean, Magnum PI could have been started at the beginning of the 1980
- 1981 season and Hawaii 5-0 could have been cancelled at the
beginning of the that same season...
If, however, hypthetically, someone said that Hawaii 5-0's final
episode was in April 1980 and the first episode of Magnum PI was
December 1980 that would be different.
You asked what came AFTER Hawaii Five-0, I said Magnum. Even though it
was in the same year, it was still After.
Yes, and I gave you 4 points for it (you lost a point for not getting
the name wrong).
I realise that a show can end in 1980 before one begins in 1980, I'm
just saying a statement that one began in 1980 and another ended in
1980 doesn't say for sure that one followed the other. If, however,
someone did a bit of research and said that Hawaii 5-0's last episode
was say APRIL 1980 and Magnum PI was DECEMBER 1980 then that would be
different. But no one has said that.
Oh, wait someone did. In a post you replied to.

No Dugster, you claimed there was a show created to re-use the sets
and crew from Hawaii Five-0, and asked us to name it. No sets from
Hawaii Five-0 were used in Magnum PI. That answer is wrong. I doubt
the existence of such a show.
Alright, not the sets, but the production facilities and film crews,
although this reference doesn't rule out the sets if you consider them
as part of the facilities.
From Wiki
"The Hawaiian-based television show Magnum, P.I. was created after
Hawaii Five-O ended its run, in order to make further use of the
expensive production facilities created there for Five-O. The first
few Magnum P.I. episodes made direct references to Five-O, suggesting
that it takes place in the same fictional universe. (A few attempts
were made by Magnum's producers to coax Jack Lord out of retirement to
do a cameo appearance, but he refused.)"
