CBS Hawaii Five-0
 

I just now seen a cut off commercial for Hawaii 50 on CBS Monday night.
Has anyone heard anything about it? It was one of my favorite shows as a kid, I dont know why but it was/is. I just checked my guide and there is nothing, but the music caught my ear immediately and I looked and it was cut off like an accidental slip to play the commercial right after CBS Sunday Morning News today.

just added this: I looked it up on Google and it's right,
it will air on Monday nights this fall and I think it is going to be good because it is recreated by the New Star Trek producers and staff. This might make this worth looking at, as I am so turned off by fake drama "reality TV" that seems to hog up prime time space.This maybe a breath of fresh air to old and new television.

I quit watching prime time tv years ago. Nothing on in my opinion. I saw the commercial and am looking forward to the new 5 0.

Yeah but WHERE will they get a Magical Mercury that shifted back 'n' forth from a '68 model to a '74, sometimes even in the same scene ?!?

was that before or after it would go from 2 door to 4 door as it did in the pre '74 seasons? with the 68 you had to love it it when it would lite the tires up already rolling they didnt fake that part. I always liked how hard on the brakes he was as he would just miss pedestrians walking along.

On the Mercury portion,, my parents had a 66 Monterey when the show first aired. So I thought it was cool that the show had a similar car. Yes, the bloopers with the cars are great and part of what makes the show even more worth watching now.

I found the credit opening I have to say it isnt like the original looks a bit like the CSI Miami format but looks like they didn't forget everything those are familiar pieces here and there.

I watch lots of 5-0, one of my favorite shows to watch on an early color set. Watching the opening on an early color set is great. I hope they keep the original theme song. There was a radio station back when I lived in Los Angeles that went under after a year or so (1260 AM) that occasionally played that, at the time I was driving a '72 Impala 4dr, couldn't imagine anything more fitting to be listening to, although I was usually stuck in traffic when it came on so I couldn't burn the tires.

...An' do they even still make the stuff that Jack wore on his hair ?!? Shit could deflect most small arms fire, I'm sure...(grin)

LOL sandy true he could go through a firestorm and that hair was perfect on most occasions, Adam I agree I do not like the new theme at all compared to the original, but it still based on the original and I suppose it would turn off the techy computer imaging directors if they had to play that old record for a new hi tech show

At least they made it similar to the original, I posted before I watched it, and had expected them to change it totally.

You can watch some of the original Hawaii 5-0 here: http://www.cbs.com/classics/hawaii_five_0/video/
What I do is just plug a computer into a modulator so I can still watch it on a regular tv.

I honestly even wonder if Hollywood/the music industry is CAPABLE of producing orchestrations or music to the same level as it was before they had all these gee-whiz doo-dads to play with...

I almost hope they redo that opening music or at least play the original at the end without all the modern afterbeat sounds

Ahh HATES Vocorders...Or WHATEVER you call them infernal things...An' "Syn-clapping"...An' electric drums...Grrrrrrr....

After looking into the original more, CBS Productions claimed that many of the additional viewers to the successful 12 year run were lured by just the theme opening itself and they eventually ended up fans of the show.

I think a big part of the shows success is due to the incredible music that opened it. I can't imagine topping that sound. I like the intro and it's music in every way. The best part is when the helicopter camera zooms in to the penthouse balcony to find Jack Lord turning around at the same moment always ready for the perfect close-up.
Does anybody know the name of that hotel? I bet it is still there.
