BoloOfEarth Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 That would have been pretty awesome but very unlikely since they were on different networks (NBC vs CBS). I know multi-network crossovers have happened more recently with shows like Flash and Supergirl but CBS owns a chunk of CW. NBC and CBS had little imagination or incentive to work together on such a neat idea back in the day. HM That's kinda why I wanted it to be a movie, rather than a show episode. I heard that Bellisario tried to have Sam leap into Magnum during the actual TV series, but it didn't happen for some reason. Edit: Well, also because a movie would allow them to cover both halves (Magnum working with Al, and Sam working with Magnum's pals) without it feeling rushed.

Burrito Boy Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 There was a good two part Simon & Simon/Magnum P.I. crossover that played out over one episode of each show. Matt the Bruins 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjack Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 I always wanted to see a Quantum Leap movie where Sam leaps into Thomas Magnum (of Magnum PI), imagining it as Magnum helping Al solve a murder or other crime at the Quantum Leap facility while Sam works with Rick, TC, and Higgins to solve a crime in Hawaii. Since both series were created by Donald Bellisario, I thought it would be a natural pairing of shows. There was one in planning before QL was cancelled. Sam would have leapt into Tom Selleck during the filming of a Magnum P.I. episode. Also the character Selleck played on two episodes of The Rockford Files, the annoyingly perfect Lance White was a major help for him later landing the role of Magnum.

zslane Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 I guess I'm the only one who feels that 99% of crossovers (from different franchises) are poorly conceived, and, 99% of the time poorly executed. The only way to make a crossover like that work is to lampshade the entire thing on some level. One of the best examples I can think of is the crossover issue where Cerebus the Aardvark encountered the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Needless to say Cerebus was not amused by the whole affair, and it only really worked because he essentially had the same attitude that the readers did (and were expected to have).

Old Man Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 You're not the only one. The majority of crossovers are stunt writing that ultimately detracts from both properties. In real life, however, crossovers entertain the masses, and they also appeal to risk-averse executives who see such works as having two built-in fan bases. I have other things upon which to expend my outrage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 That's kinda why I wanted it to be a movie, rather than a show episode. I heard that Bellisario tried to have Sam leap into Magnum during the actual TV series, but it didn't happen for some reason. But who would he be? Having him turn into Magnum would be awesome, since it would give Selleck a great chance to show off his acting chops (better than he's given credit for). I mean I guess he could jump into Higgins, which would be hilarious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattern Ghost Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 Or he could jump into Zeus or Apollo. Hyper-Man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt the Bruins Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 In addition to the haircut, they made him look quite a bit leaner and longer-necked than he has in the Avengers films. Maybe they also changed up the vocal mix on Hulk? (IIRC, it combined Ruffalo, Lou Ferrigno, and a couple of other people.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Shadow Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 On the negative side Spider-man Homecoming only took in 22 million, That brings its total domestic box office a bit over $250 million with the vast majority of that coming in the first week. No legs on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 I think after the last two Spider-Man movies, people are a bit leery about going to see another one in the theater. People are kind of leery about seeing anything in a theater these days, with ticket and concession prices what they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
