Magnum PI season 5 episode 16: One of the best cold opens yet?
Tonight on NBC, you are going to have a chance to see Magnum PI season 5 episode 16 after a week off the rest! We understand the wait has been a long one, but we have a good feeling that it’s going to be worthwhile.
Is there a big case at the heart of this episode, and also a great guest star in Patrick Fabian? Absolutely but, beyond just that, you’re also going to have a chance to see something else that is really fun.
Magnum PI live streams every Monday where we share all the Magnum updates and answer your questions! Join HERE!
For starters, take a look at what the show’s writers’ room had to say on Twitter:
New [Magnum PI] tonight! It’s got one of our favorite cold opens in some time. This ep also has the amazing [Patrick Fabian] and the lovely [Malia Manuel] #WatchLive
We don’t want to give away TOO much here, but we concur with what the writers are saying here — this is a total hoot to watch and it’s one of the best ways to start an episode imaginable. Cold opens are somewhat of a lost art outside of this show and Saturday Night Live — even when they don’t always have to do with anything after the fact, they often tonally just work to set a story up in the right place. Also, they are perfect little clips to watch after the fact.
Ultimately, we can’t wait to see a lot of the reactions to this one — and of course, what lies ahead after the fact. As the writers say, watch live if you can — it is really the only way to ensure that the show has a chance of a revival somewhere down the road. We’re not hearing anything at present on the subject, but we’re continuing to cross our fingers and hope for the best.
