Another great DVD set, another great season! |
Another great season of Five-0, with excellent stories, terrific actors, crisp and clean visuals and fantastic soundtrack. TV at its best, with stories that resonate today, plus lots of scenery and eye candy. Pig in a Blanket and The Child Stealers are especially powerful and emotional episodes. The Vashon Trilogy is the TV equivalent of the Godfather trilogy. My only gripe is how long it is taking Paramount to release the series - why not 4 seasons per year, or multiple seasons at a time? l'll be there for Season 6 and beyond...
PS Happy Birthday to James MacArthur on Dec08! |

Hawaii Five-O - No music changes |
For all of the people who were flipping out ahead of the release of Hawaii Five-O season 5 based on what CBS did to The Fugitive - relax! I've watched most of my new season 5 episodes (thank God for DVD releases!) and all the original music seems to be intact.
Picture quality is great, as in each of the previous 4 seasons, and the show itself is better than ever - this is my favorite season so far. Great writing, interesting stories, top-notch acting from pretty much everyone, including most of the guest stars, and of course the beautiful scenery, funky '70's clothes, and the awesome, unflappable Steve McGarrett, which all combine to make this one of the most iconic cop shows in TV history.
I just hope CBS releases ALL 12 seasons! They've done a great job so far.
5 stars - book 'em, Danno! |

Book 'em Danno! |

Possibly the finest season in the show's twelve year run, at last, season five is here in all it remastered glory! Quality of the actual DVDs themselves is, in the main, very good - superb in some episodes; if you take into consideration the print quality of other shows from this era - colours are generally vibrant and rich. The soundtrack is intact and as broadcast - so any fears over tinkering similar to that of "The Fugitive" can be laid to rest. Subsequent seasons never bettered this one, but some tried and season 6 came close. Seasons 7 & 8 weren't too bad either and of course, "Nine Dragons" - the opening episode to season 9 is rightly regarded as classic. Highly recommended - roll on the next release and let us relive one of the very best 5-0 episodes - "Hookman". |

Hawaii Five-0 Continues to Be a Great Buy!!! |
|
It has been marvelous seeing this series come out on dvd. This series never loses its edge in the stories. The beauty of Hawaii mingles in with the drama. I hope that Paramount continues to bring out the rest of the series. The shows on this dvd include: the "V for Vashon" trilogy; "Thanks for the Honeymoon", "Journey into Limbo", and "The Child Stealers." |

Best Cop Show ... EVER |
|
I know that a lot of people like to throw the label "classic" around a lot, especially to television shows of the past. Hawaii Five-O is the definition of classic television. Jack Lord playing the hard-nosed cop, Steve McGarrett, about as well as anyone could. No smut, either. Let's see one of today's cop shows do that. Anyway, I have purchased all 5 seasons so far, and I will continue to buy them all, as long as we are lucky enough to have the opportunity. I highly recommend HFO to anyone looking for excellent entertainment value. Keep 'em coming! |
