EXCLUSIVE: Tom Selleck is negotiating to return to episodic TV in the first hour-long drama he has headlined since Magnum, P.I. And he’s back with CBS. I’m told that Selleck is close to a deal to star in Reagan’s Law, a drama about three generations of a stories New York cop family. Len Cariou will play the family patriarch, an ex-chief of police. Selleck will play his son Michael, a handsome widower who is the current NYPD chief of police. Donnie Wahlberg will play his son, a detective who returned to the force after a tumultuous stint as a captain in Iraq. The series is casting up quickly — Flex Alexander and Bridget Moynihan seem likely to get roles — and Michael Cuesta will direct a pilot that’ll shoot later this month for CBS Television. Studios Leonard Goldberg, Mitchell Burgess & Robin Green are the exec producers.
Selleck hasn’t headlined an hour-long drama since ending his signature role on Magnum, P.I., which ran from 1980-1988. Selleck most recently played a recurring character on Las Vegas, and has done multi-episode arcs on Las Vegas, Boston Legal and Friends, and starred in the half-hour sitcom The Closer. He has also played lawman Jesse Stone in periodic telepics based on the mystery series by the late author Robert B. Parker.

Reagan’s Law?
Sounds like they’re trying to catch the attention of mid-west conservatives who think Hollywood is just liberal claptrap.
“Ma…put down the shotgun! There’s a show on the television called Reagan’s Law! You think it’s about Ronald Reagan? Or maybe he acts like Ronald Reagan? Well, we GOTS to watch that!”
Funny… that’s real original. Do you have a nose ring too?
Only a cliche could be so cliche.
Does New York ring a bell or are we missing breakfast today toots?
Cutting-edge put-down of conservatives! Do you have your own theater in Branson?
Thanks for confirming the liberal claptrap thing.
What is the new movie thats comeing on May 9th called
Its from the Jesse Stone seres?
I have all of them except this one on DVD
This is interesting and all, but I’m disappointed to see that the hot Gossip Girl ad on the upper right has been replaced by an Adobe Acrobat ad. Is there anything less sexy than Adobe Acrobat?
You mean that ad with three hot chicks and two homosexual men? It’s still on my screen.
A gun toting Republican playing a character named Reagan. Seriously?
WHO REALLY CARES ABOUT TOM SELLECK ANYMORE? i take the under 8 episode bet for $1000
People that made NCSI a top tv ratings winner for CBS. Those people that love to watch Mark Harmon will love Tom Selleck.
your joking right? blink blink (. .)
Tom Selleck is still HOT!!!
Tom Selleck was always a good performer who has matured into a terrific actor (i.e. Jesse Stone, etc). Looks like he’ll be surrounded by some top people as well. Looking forward to this new show.
The lone Republican actor in Hollywood and CBS is calling the show “Reagan’s Law”? They could be more obvious I suppose, could have physically hammered the audience over the head…
…well i read that the counter programming for all of the democrat environmentalist minions slumming in hollywood to enjoy is going to be called “Clinton’s Stud Farm, We Cater to ALL Species…”
I’ll bet the name gets changed.
It’s just plain stupid to give a series a name that’s going to piss off half the country before they even run it.
And we haven’t even heard from Nancy yet. If she doesn’t want it, it’s dead!
Maybe they should call it Obama Law?
Yes Obama Law. And the character who plays Obama can read is lines off of the teleprompter.
I’m POSITIVE Nancy will have something to say to Moonves.
hmmmmmm…. I wonder what that conversation will sound like…
Maybe she would, however, I’m guessing Moonves would just write it off as “pillow talk” and go back to sleep.
“Obama Law” – that’s stupid!! The geniuses at CBS could do soooo much better……oh wait
If you attract half the country, who cares about the other half. That’s a big slice of the pie! I take half of 300 million people.
Where is it to be shot? SAG or AFTRA? Hmm…
Just what our country needs, a CBS series titled “Reagan’s Law” – I hope Oblama’s health plan includes coverage for “nitwitted-Title-Creatoritis”
There’s only one of Reagan’s laws Tom Selleck should have followed: trust but verify. Then he might have actually read the scripts for Her Alibi, Folks! and Christopher Columbus: The Discovery before filming them.
Tom Selleck was actually an opening credits lead on the final season of the goofy, guilty-pleasure series Las Vegas, a casualty of Ben Silverman’s Reign of Error. Whose unresolved cliffhanger finale could easily be resolved with one of NBC Uni’s handy-dandy direct-to-DVD movies ala the trashy American Pie sequels — to hit the stands the same week that Selleck’s show would premiere?
Change the title and put it on a cable network. Being on CBS will cause this show to die.
I’m surprised he’s still acting! I would think his fans would be in Washington boycotting Obama rather than in front of their tube.
i guess you have never heard of TiVO???
thats ok, no need to apologize. we luv u in spite of yourself.
cheers my sporty friend
If you go by the polls, more than half the country does not approve of Obama’s performance in office.
So that niche audience is just half the nation. Agreed the title is stupid, but people who don’t like Obama form about 53% of the nation now, so CBS cannot afford to tick them off.
You can’t run the “Brandon Tartikoff” strategy anymore, it’s not the 1980′s, you don’t have the last wave of baby boomers hitting adulthood, and wanting hip stuff and spending lots of money. The country is older, more conservative, and the few young people we have are mostly Mexican-origin/national and live in a separate, Spanish/Univision-Telemundo cultural universe.
The Jessie Stone movies made a lot of money and did good ratings. This project is obviously inspired by it and the CBS formula: Older White guy authority figure leads disparate team to solve crimes. Women love it, that’s who makes up the Crime-Time audience: the CSI’en, Criminal Minds, NCIS, etc.
Look at how “Green Zone” flopped (no word on it on DHD btw). The LAT is alleging (Mike Fleming? Nikki? Care to run a story on this?) that the humungous FLOP of GREEN ZONE pretty much killed the Bourne Franchise.
The film did … LESS than $15 million opening weekend. I’ve seen $130 million production costs, plus another $100 million in re-shooting, promotion, “fixing” the film in the edit bay. Who knows?
But it bombed, BIG TIME, and will cost Universal a bundle if they did not lay off the films risk and upside.
The LAT says that because the film was marketed as “Bourne 4″ and flopped, A LOT, the Bourne movie franchise may be dead, dead, dead.
Its a recession. Money is tight. Consumers can rent a $1 DVD at Redbox, or just watch ones they already own. Folks like Damon can’t afford anymore to tick off more than half the country just to feed their ego. Selleck is conservative, but never talks about it.
But there’s a good reason why Obama has a 53% disapproval rating!
That 53% includes a lot of liberals like me that are massively pissed off at him for selling us out on health care reform!
It’s pretty obvious that he’s in over his head as president.
I’ve taken to calling him a fool from the ivory tower.
While I don’t like most of Selleck’s politics, I’ve always liked his TV shows.
And in his case, I can separate his politics from his acting.
If he’s driving a red Ferrari – I’M IN!!
They could not call it “Family of cops” or “To serve and protect”…
Bit suprised to see Donnie Wahlberg taking a supporting role in a weekly series.
Tom might be a little too old to take off his shirt, but his “son” is hot.
Hollywood: We women want to look at good looking hunks.
I could easily see this series becoming a network franchise! Just add-in Roger E. Mosley as Tom Selleck’s brother-from-another-mother and you’ve got a bonafide hit on your hands.
Just once do something without hair on your face. In a movie he starred on called “Innocent Man” hours of meetings were taken by the brains at Disney “Mustache” on or off. He has cracks in his face that though manly in a manly way, make him look like the side of the Grand Canyon. Selleck has got to be close to 68 would he still be working as a NYC Cop. The patricarch even on the spy side would be at least 90. By most 90 year olds standards keeping soup in his mouth would be tough let alone having exterior scenes in the cold winters of NYC. Was this really thought out or packaged for failure. Of all the stories this is what the geniuses at CBS decide on. The insurance premium alone for these ageing actors would be enough for aanother pilot. But when you got Sumner Redstone bringing up age is like saying the plague broke out in the commissary. Good Luck Les like your CBS Films another one alredy be setup for a toss into the trash can.
I’m sure by the time it reaches the air, it’ll be called “CSI: Reagan”
LOL! More like “CSI: Sunny Acres Retirement Village”
Al little off topic…I heard they are Remaking or rebooting “Gunsmoke” for a theatrical film. I think he would make a good Marshall Matt Dillion. I hope they don’t make that character young and pretty boyish.
Geez…who cares what his personal politics are!? He is an actor.
I don’t boycott Sean Penn for being a combative ass with anyone who looks at him funny.
I won’t boycott Tom Selleck for being a conservative, because I can separate the two issues. And respect the fact that they each have opinions of their own. Because watching stupid people act is rather boring!
Most of the comments I’ve read are made more because of politics and not about his acting ability.
I liked Magnum, Jessie Stone, etc. give the guy a break and wait to judge. You just might like the shore. Life isn’t always about what party you belong to.
OK my previous post shows I can’t spell.
I have been a Republican, Democrat and an Independent! If I had to pick my Movies, TV shows, news broadcast based on party my head would be permanently spinning.
WAKE UP AMERICA. Be what you teach your kids (hopefully). Open minded and let everything present themselves. Seems to me a lot of people have showed us why our kids education is going down hill and Congress decade after decade doesn’t get anything done–They are afraid to be Thoughtful (thinking), Honest and doing what is right. God help us all.! Anybody help us
Sue: Well said!
