Hello, all.
The voice-over was intrusive in both
"Magnum, P.I." and "Spenser: For Hire." On "Magnum," however,
I think it was intentionally intrusive.
(e.g. "I know what you're thinking, and you're right...") It
was meant to reflect Magnum's laid-back everyman
nature.
On "Spenser," the voice-over was often used
to quote poetry or show that Spenser was thinking "profound
thoughts." In effect it made him sound pretentious, something
Spenser of the books was not.
Eliminating the voice-over was one of the
most effective choices made for A&E's SMALL VICES.
