'Hawaii Five-O'

I bought the new 'DVD 1st season boxed set ' today for £30.That is more than I would normally pay for DVDs but I'm making an exception to the rule here because I haven't seen 'Hawaii Five-O' for nearly 10 years since they showed on t.v. a posthumous episode in 1998 when Jack Lord died.
I missed all the episodes they showed on digital t.v. a few years back,because,guess what;I didn't have a digital t.v.
Is anyone else tempted to buy this new DVD release?.I'm not encouraging anyone whatsoever cos It's flippin' expensive-merely stating facts that I have parted with my £££s & will go without food etc.
This package includes the very first/pilot episode: 'Cocoon' that was premiered on t.v. Friday 20th September 1968.
I'll be watching late into the night,tonight on my cinema t.v screen with the beers & snacks."Book 'em Dano."

 

The theme song (by the Ventures) is awesome. Incredible horns.

 

Yes,agreed! I've got the 'Ventures' perfoming 'Hawaii Five-O' on a c.d.
It was actually written by Morton Stevens,which is a surprise because I thought it was written by Lalo Schifrin.It must be one of the finest t.v. theme tunes ever written.The opening sequence of 'H-F-O' especially the speeded up camera zooming in on Steve McGarratt,the watusi dancer etc.;were iconic & as enjoyable to watch as the stories themselves.

A bit of trivia.....Has anyone ever noticed when Jack Lord didn't have a suit on, he wore a long sleeved Hawaiian shirt ?
Reason was he had a lot of ink on his arms, old military days tattoos.
"Now you know the rest of the story".........

 

Better than Hill Street Blues or Kojak?

 

I haven't seen these since they originally aired......

 

Well you can watch it on cable every day on the retro-tv channels :2thumbsup:

Don't have a TV or cable

 

And I just bought a 48” HDTV because my 32 inch screen just isn’t big enough especially with the super bowl being played on Sunday

Go Patriot's :2thumbsup:

See how you are?

 

NO! No freakin' way.

 

For a few years The Bill was a gritty realism show, but after Frank Burnside left it degenerated into a soap with the odd dramatic moment.

Not specifically a cop show was Minder about a dodgy use car dealer who was out to make nice little earner. A blend of comedy and drama that lasted 20 years. Probably a more realistic view of the police service.

 

It was one of those shows that I enjoyed when it was on the box and still find fun nopw>

 

the best for me. i like adam 12 too. :sunny:

 

Hawaii Five O would be the one of the finest show during its 12 years of TV airtime!! I have been watching this show since I was 10 years old. And I’m so proud they still produced a remake of this one. But my heart has been captured d by the original although the remake is good too!! I’ve been a great fan of Jack Lord back them he was the best actor for me and until now I’m still impressed on his versatility as an actor .



For those who haven’t seen the classic original series of this show, I think you’re missing the best thing in life! You should watch this one. As a dedicated fan, I do still watch this show from the DVD collection I bought at yourdvdcorner.com which supplied me and absolutely great quality DVDs. Feels good to relive the great moments of this show and I’m very thankful because the boxset consists all the episodes from the entire seasons. I’m just a dedicated fan of Hawaii Five O and feel awesome to get a chance to watch this show again!

 

I love the original series better.

 

I've watched it a time or two, but really to look at Hawaii, since I lived there from '68 through '75. Loved it.

 

one of my fav shows as a kid
