In an interview with Closer Weekly, Tom Selleck admitted that he got tired with Magnum P.I. “Magnum, P.I. went to 163 shows and we still had ground to cover, and I wasn’t tired of it. I was tired from it because I was in every shot,” the lead actor explained. In contrast to this, Selleck said that his work in Blue Bloods was more ideal as he didn’t have to work every single day.

Aside from getting overworked, there was something else that he wanted that the show could not provide. “I quit Magnum to have a family,” Selleck mentioned. “It took a long time to get off the train, but I try very hard to have balance.” He couldn’t do that while he was working on Magnum P.I. since it had a very busy shooting schedule. He thus quit his role. The sacrifice was made and he hasn’t looked back since.
