Mrs. Olsen: Summer movies, bah! They're all sequels anymore. And sequels of sequels. If they make them any shorter and closer together, It'll be...Frazz: 1980s TV? Mrs. Olsen: Ohh! I'm fine with that if they bring back Magnum Selleck!
Another joy of 1980s TV (well, most of it anyway) — this was the pre-cable glut era, so you had a choice of THREE (count them — THREE) major networks and perhaps three or four other local stations.Fortunately, there were plenty of VCRs out there and for a few bucks you could hit the video store and rent some movies (be kind, please rewind).
“They’re all sequels anymore.” Mrs. Olsen, a teacher, using bad grammar! Substitute ‘these days’ for ‘anymore,’ or add a negative, as in, ‘There aren’t any new movies anymore’ and she would would have had it right.

Mrs Olsen hasn’t been paying attention: Magnum’s already back… he trimmed his mustache and went undercover in the NYPD

Tom Selleck …I’m totally on board with Mrs. Olsen.

Well, at least we had “Mash” until 1983.

I have to agree about the Selleck part.
