Tom Selleck Starred In A Forgotten '90s Sitcom That Shares A Name With A Popular Drama
The '90s were something of a transitional period for the onetime Thomas Magnum, as indicated by this series that didn't even finish its first season.
Tom Selleck once starred in a forgotten 1990s sitcom named "The Closer," sharing the title with the popular 2005 drama starring Kyra Sedgwick. However, Selleck's version of the show was short-lived, as it only aired 10 episodes before being canceled by CBS in May 1998. The sitcom followed Selleck's character, a self-centered advertising executive striving to open his own agency, and earned Selleck praise for playing a flawed yet compelling character.
Despite his failed attempt at a "The Closer" sitcom, Selleck is known for his successful career in crime dramas, most notably as Thomas Magnum in the long-running series "Magnum, P.I." which earned him an Emmy in 1984. His most recent crime drama role is as New York City Police Commissioner Frank Reagan in "Blue Bloods," which concluded its 14-season run in 2024.
