This is one of my favorite shows and I was surprised and saddened to hear Caan is leaving, but Tom Selleck could heat things up!

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Tom Selleck, who reigned in Hawaii as "Magnum, P.I.," is getting ready to take over "Las Vegas."

Selleck will join the cast of the NBC drama next season, playing a billionaire with a mysterious past who becomes the new owner of the show's centerpiece hotel, the Montecito Resort & Casino, the network said Wednesday.

Selleck is coming to the series at the same time that James Caan, who starred as the casino's chief executive, is departing. Caan, who had previously announced he would leave after the season finale in March, will be back for the premiere next season, NBC said.

Selleck played the brawny but easygoing detective Thomas Magnum on the hit CBS drama from 1980-88. He appeared on NBC's "Friends" as boyfriend to Monica (Courteney Cox) and has starred in a number of TV movies, including "Ike: Countdown to D-Day" and the "Jesse Stone" films.

His films include "3 Men and a Baby," "In & Out" and "Quigley Down Under."

I really liked this show in its first season, but they lost me during the second season. I don't know how they can do the show without James Caan, though. Of course, he's no dreamboat like Danny.
