CBS chose not to renew “Magnum, P.I.” for another season, and the network’s entertainment president told TheWrap saying goodbye to the series was a tough call.“Every year, there’s a couple of tough ones, and this was one of them,” he said. “There’s rarely a single factor. More often than not has to do with how is the complete schedule affected by what we do? Can we find room for new shows? Where can we maybe find some growth?
