Proof again that nostalgia ain"t what it used to be?

This has been a month of disappointments in a televisual sense, as I caught up with three remakes from my viewing youth, only to discover that time and technology alone are no guarantee of improvement over the original. First example was Magnum PI, the reboot of which I discovered quite by accident one evening while the ever-gregarious Mrs Simms was out socialising with friends, leaving me flicking through hundreds of TV channels desperately searching for something remotely watchable. Through the 1980s, Magnum was compulsive viewing – consistently ranked in the top 20 television programmes through its original run, and commended for its tackling of topics such as the humanising of veterans returning from the Vietnam war.
