I've been waiting two years to see Novel Connection, because I recorded Murder, She Wrote's Magnum on Ice (a continuation, well sort of if you kind of ignore the syndicated ending of Novel Connection) back in March 2021 when the world was in shutdown. I thought it appropriate to watch Magnum on Ice only after seeing Novel Connection, so finally.
The crossover with Murder, She Wrote is kind of a metaphor for Magnum, P. I.'s mid-life stage, with the doting Jessica Fletcher being the one to amplify this.
I would have loved for acclaimed British-Indian actor Victor Banerjee to make a guest appearance, as in real life Angela Lansbury and Victor crossed paths at one of the Oscar ceremonies back in the 80s.
I saw the syndication ending, where Magnum wins the day. But the follow-up Magnum on Ice follows up on the original run ending of Novel Connection, where Magnum is in fact arrested. It's confusing quite for sure, and I'm thankful to be able to reconstruct the events from the imdb user reviews. Also the Magnum on Ice recap at the beginning thankfully has the original run ending.
I must admit the crossover with Murder, She Wrote was kind of clumsy, but I guess Magnum producers wanted to appeal to the 70 age group demographic.
