Selleck also had an interview with Closer Weekly, describing why he had to eventually leave Magnum P.I. “Magnum P.I. went to 163 shows and we still had ground to cover, and I wasn’t tired of it,” he said. “I was tired of it because I was in every shot.” His current role in Blue Bloods is ideal for him since he doesn’t have to be in every shot, therefore not having to work every day.

Not The Only Reason
That was just only one of reasons to drop the series, though. “I quit Magnum to have a family.” Selleck continues. “It took a long time to get off the train, but I try very hard to have balance.” He made such a big sacrifice to be with his family, and has not looked back ever since.
