Simon & Simon Revival Ties Fortunes To Magnum Fostered by CBS strategy and luck, Simon & Simon rises from cancellation to hit status as partners with Magnum P.I. reshape schedule and tone.
The series, once nearly canceled in 1982, is praised by CBS executives as a success story after strategic moves including a Thursday slot after Magnum P.I. and crossovers with Selleck's hit show. The revival boosted cast status and funding, with changes toward harder stories, bigger locations, and a richer look. The comeback is framed as a mix of programming savvy and luck.
