Why in the world did Magnum, P.I. end?

Would a Magnum, P.I. reunion disappoint people?
Magnum, P.I. aired from 1980-1988 and is considered one of the most influential TV shows ever on pop culture. Although no original episodes have been shot since, it has remained a regular feature on many station's schedules. But Selleck said he's not sure if Magnum, P.I. would work today. “I don't want to see old Magnum,” he told a journalist (Selleck turned 79 in January). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” he added.
Still hoping for a Magnum, P.I. movie?
In a recent interview, Tom Selleck said he can't imagine a Magnum, P.I. reunion hitting the big screen. “I'd rather people go, ‘Oh, please! Please!’ than ‘I can't believe you did that. It was horrible.’”
What about a Magnum, P.I. reboot?
Recasting Magnum, P.I. for a modern reboot. Hollywood is known for remaking remakes of films or tv series and the studios might think it would be great to bring the story back with a new set of characters.
