THE SELLECK® Might Return to TV Along With Its Owner, Tom

Tom Selleck is in talks to take the lead of NBC's "Las Vegas," a show I wasn't aware was still on and that I'm pretty sure no one watches. According to The Hollywood Reporter, and a writer that appears to really like this show, Selleck would "play the smart, powerful, fun-loving new owner of Montecito Resort & Casino, a new character designed to fill the void left by the recent departure of the show's star James Caan."
Selleck gracing the casino halls of Vegas would mark his first return to a regular role on a drama since his glorious Magnum, P.I. days. His stint as Richard on "Friends" is my favorite Selleck role (although the episodes in which he'd shaved his moustache are noncanonical in my book), but is the world ready for the return of Selleck, not to mention The Selleck®? I say yes, but not on a show that co-stars that guy from "Win a Date With Tad Hamilton." If you want to really please fans of short shorts and facial hair everywhere, NBC, not to mention finally find that perfect show to air after "Heroes," bring "Magnum" back. Now.

What are you talking about?! I totally watch "Las Vegas." It's like "CSI," but instead of dead bodies, the characters examine lots and lots of silicone each week (most of it found in Nikki Cox, who is also leaving the show. Bummer.) But the addition of the Selleck and his aptly-named facial hair will only make the show that much guiltier. Awesome. Just don't strain our blog partnership by dissing this television masterpiece. That's all I'm saying.
