Oh really? What can I do for you?

Hi RC...I checked the HAB web page to see if there were more pictures but came up empty..So what I'd like you to do....

After the beach pics there are a series of pics from the picnic,if you start with 1st pic and count to 8,you'll see a guy..blue shirt and blue hat with a camera.........I want you to find his pictures..If anyone can do it..you can

Ha, he looks a bit like the man on the grassy knoll. I'd suspect everything has been covered up by now, sorry.

Ah..come on..give it a shot ha

One thing I did notice..In the first picture after the beach pics..The gray haired lady with her back turned to the camera talking to the guy in the pink shirt..Looks like Eve Anderson.

A quote from the second link: "There’s tennis court in there and then there is a whole huge area to do your barbeque with electricity and everything..." I wonder if that electricity was put in for filming the show.

It certainly is possible that the electricity was installed for the show..But do you remember seeing anything but lawn on the grounds..

Man o man give me an hour on the estate and I'll have it figured out.

FYI..For the past two years,a local station has been showing Hawaii Five-O and one thing I've learned about the estate.The side door on the driveway side doesn't open into the house.It goes under the lanai to the front door.

Well that area under the tree in the pictures wasn't seen very much in the show, it's possible at least that they would have been able to keep the outlet structure out of shots, or at least not be obvious.

And I've been meaning to see the Hawaii Five-0 episodes which include the Anderson Estate. Is there a list of these episodes anywhere? I've watched the show from time to time but I don't remember seeing the estate.

A Magnum fan (Pete) recently informed me that the Anderson Estate shows up in two Season 2 Hawaii Five-O episodes - "Forty Feet High and It Kills" and "Sweet Terror". Season 2 of HFO was recently released on DVD. The estate is also used in the series finale "Woe to Wo Fat", and possibly others.

Pete wrote:"Sweet Terror" has what appears to be, actual shots from the interior of the home, most notably, the entryway. There is also a good scene from the boathouse (guesthouse), as well. Overall, there are also a few shots that give a good indication of how the grounds are laid out, compared to the confusing way portrayed on Magnum.

Oh, great! NOW we have to go buy HFO-2 just to see Robin's Nest!

Does it never end . . . . . ?

HI RC...James has given you 3 and I'll add 2 more.

From season 4..While You're at it.Bring in the Moon...

From season 5..You Don't Have to Kill to get Rich,But it Helps..In this episode the grounds,tidal pool and house were used..William Shatner and Al Harrington can be seen climbing up a trellis to the second floor small balcony on the ocean side,to a bedroom.I don't believe the bedroom scene was at the estate.

I know there are 3 or 4 more episodes and I'll to recall them.

William Shatner's at the estate!? It doesn't get much better than that!

Yeah..The house has a long history..I also think it was used in Jake and the Fatman or One West Waikiki.

James..I'm trying to do some screen captures..actually digital camera shots from the TV.I have a few.Can I email them to you to see what you think..As you can imagine the quality is not great.

OOPS..the pics are interior shots of the estate.

Sam,

If you happen to have WinDVD as the program for playing DVDs on your computer, you can do "Captures," or screenshots, while the show is playing. Just check the Help file and it'll tell you how to do it. If you can't find it, let me know, and I'll try to give you some instructions. Then you can upload the photos to a free photo hosting site like www.dropshots.com or the like and from there get the "Properties" of the picture and cut and paste into images that will post in a thread. Those are pretty abbreviated instructions. PM me if you can get the screenshots in the first place and then we can give you better step-by-step instructions if you need them.

Thanks Golf...I've filed your info for future reference.

Unfortunately that won't work in this case.I'm trying to get screen captures from the last episode of Hawaii Five-O from the DVR.

golfmobile · #28 Post by **golfmobile** » Tue Jan 08, 2008 2:42 pm

Sam,

AH! Yes, that is difficult unless you have really expensive hardware to get the show from the DVR to the computer. I have the Dazzle 80 hardware, but it captures the video at 320 resolution, which really s**ks, so you're right: It's a better picture when you simply take a snapshot of the TV screen while the show is playing.

Unless, of course, you have a DVD recorder hooked up to your DVR, so you can record the show/movie to DVD, then play it on the computer, THEN capture the screenshots. We have the DVR hooked up to a DVD/VCR combination recorder/player (which I guarantee you was under $200, or Larry wouldn't have let me get it!). Now that I've learned how to record the DVD from the DVR (the trick is to "finalize" it) so it will play on another player, I'm having a ball getting these screenshots.

That's what I finally did with The Chinese Connection.

And, hey, DVD recorder prices have really dropped recently, I think you can get one for about $50 now.

By the way, on what channel is H50 playing? I can trying DVR'ing it and can get pictures. Just tell me what channel, when, where, which episode, etc. I have DirecTV so if the channel is not in its line-up, then we're back to Square One, Option Two (buy the DVD recorder)

Golf,

Looks like I'll need to invest in a DVD/recorder to get the screencaps.Maybe I'll head to Best Buy this weekend and see what's available.

Thank you for your offer to DVR H50 but unfortunately it is shown on a local independent station.

If anyone gets a chance to get a screen cap (or better yet, a video clip) of William Shatner (as Texas P.I. Sam Tolliver) running loose on the estate in H50's "You Don't Have to Kill to Get Rich, But It Helps" (S5), please do so! I simply MUST see this!
