Hawaii 5-0 was an okay series in the 60s. But really I watched it for the fantastic opening credit sequence! Of course I was only a kid.

There has never been anything that approached the sheer energy and excitement in a brief 1 minute sequence. Miami Vice came close. But Jan Hammer's music was too dated. You hear it now and think 80s! The Ventures theme still holds up. You hear it and think COOL!

I wonder if this series will actually be better than the 60s version... you know a man wearing a wool suit on a tropical island and never one bead of sweat.

I would expect this to be better than CSI: Hawaii. Viewers clearly want police procedurals, but CBS has been doing too much of the investigative stuff... perhaps we'll get more field action, this way.

I think this will be a good show.

The originial Hawaii 5-0 had deep partiotic themes sadly lacking in today's programs.

Another remake , JFG . I can just imagine Steve McGarrett JR and DANO JR. <lol>
The old series was mediocre to okay.I hope it's nothing like CSI Miami which makes me puke now.

This could work... (or bomb ) think about it and think about who (current actors, film or TV) you would like to see playing the original characters...

When they show the hula dancer pelvic action, it almost looks like a youtube studdering. I guess when the show first started the jet plane service the Hawaii was new.

You can be sure if they do that this time that the PTC will bitch about it. :rant:

The project, from CBS Studios, scored a sizable commitment when it landed at CBS in October.

It is described as an updated take on the original series that is centered on an elite branch of the Hawaii State Police headed by Steve McGarrett and answerable only to the governor.

I'll be watching for sure.

 

[mike123abc]

It will definitely make the DVR list. I hope it is good enough to stay on the list.

Same here, never missed the original... (Retitled thread)

Can't wait.

A lot of familiar faces from shows we really liked (Moonlight, Lost, BSG) so I am looking forward to it.
