When the A-Team movie came out a few years ago -- I swear to you -- the first thing that told me this was not going to be a successful reboot was when the iconic (and I'm not just saying that because I owned one) A-Team van was destroyed in one of the first scenes of the movie. In the trailer for the new Magnum reboot, we see the iconic (sadly didn't own one) Ferrari smashed into a million pieces. We also see Higgins wearing a sports bra and yoga pants. > > FBI (Tues. 9)--Dick Wolf leaves Chicago to follow the New York G-persons > (which makes this series unconnected with the Efrem Zimbalist-Quinn Martin > series and the unsuccessful 1981 series "Today's FBI"), Jeremy Sisto and > Connie Nielsen's the names that jump out in the cast.
