Summary: Five-0 rocks!
Comment: I only recently discovered this show, but I quickly fell in love with Hawaii Five-O!
beautifiul locations, good writing, loathsome bad guys, and some seriously cool good guys (anyone who can have a hairdo like Steve McGarrett's and still command respect the way he does has GOT to be cool) makes for an exciting, adrenaline-laden cop show that's clean enough for anyone to watch.
I watch this with my little brothers all the time, Five-O is responsible for my 7 year old brother going around saying things like "groovy", "dig", and "chickie baby." Oh well. He missed out on the 70's, I guess one little part of it in his vocabulary isn't going to hurt anything.
but regardless, this is a seriously fun show for anyone who likes a good cop drama!
Some of my favorite season 4 episodes inclue Skinhead and Highest Castle, Deepest Grave. I think they're all good though.
Highly recommended!

Summary: Hawaii Five-O - 4th Season
Comment: The old shows are just great, and Hawaii 5-0 is a wonderful series. I am looking forward to more. Yes, life did exist without cell phones, and crimes were being solved.

Summary: THIS IS ***NOT*** A COMPLETE COLLECTION
Comment: This is not a review of the series, which in my opinion is the greatest Crime Drama ever made. As for the VERY long-awaited DVD release, I've been Very disappointed. Stated in the fine print on the boxes, unfortunately Paramount/CBS decided to offer us an INCOMPLETE (missing episode(s)) and EDITED set. In addition, it's NOT-SO-SHARPLY "remastered". Compared to broadcast recordings, it doesn't appear to be remastered at all to me. I'm sure that Jack Lord, being the perfectionist he was about this show, would NOT approve.
If I like a show enough to want to collect it and to pay hundreds of $$$ for it, I expect a few minimum basic qualities. Those are: EVERY EPISODE, UNEDITED, and digitally remastered at least to the resolution at which it is noticeably clearer than my own recordings. This set is missing all of those essential qualities. So it seems VERY expensive to shell-out ($36 x 12 Seasons == $432) for it when I can record the same thing free. It's kind-of insulting for Paramount to offer an INCOMPLETE SET at that price.
Unless you don't get re-runs (you'd have to live in Mongolia) and you just can't wait to see the edited episodes they chose to include, it may be well worth just waiting another 2 years or so for the inevitable boxed set. Of course, a series this popular, will be offered in a boxed set (and for Half that price) after they've exhausted all the individual season sales, as we've seen every Christmas with even less popular series. Those always include "Previously Unreleased Episodes", "(Complete) Director's Cuts", and "High Resolution Digital Remastering", etc. to compel even those who paid $432 for the individual sets to buy it - Exactly what they're withholding from this set. And they always come packaged in some collectible tin or box. Maybe a die-cast Mercury in this case.

Summary: Hawaii Five-O
Comment: So, who would not enjoy the fun of Steve McGarret catching the bad guys, and the Hawaiian Islands? Campy? Yah... But I love it just the same! I was a fan then, and I am a fan now! :-).

Editorial Reviews:

Filmed entirely on location in Hawaii, the show followed Jack Lord as he played Steve McGarrett, head of an elite state police unit investigating "organized crime, murder, assassination attempts, foreign agents, felonies of every type." James MacArthur played his second-in-command Danny ("Danno") Williams, with local actors playing members of the Five-O team.
