I hate the split seasons of shows as well. One way to avoid it is to wait for "Volume 2" of whatever show is released. Amazon.com bundles both volumes into a full season at half the price. That's how I purchased Vega$ The Second Season for under $50 :)
That's true...but I'm too impatient! LOL! :lol: When I hear of a season of a show I like (whether full season or split-volume set) is being released I have to get it, because I can't wait to watch it on digitally remastered DVD's.

Most of the older shows I have on old VHS tapes, taped off syndicated reruns over the years. Now that they're slowly being released to DVD, I love getting each one. However, the split season volumes are kind of annoying. :? But, as long as they finish the show, once they've started releasing it, then I won't complain too much. :wink:

I love "Vega$", and I actually have the complete series on a "homemade" DVD set I got before they decided to start releasing it officially. I also have the first season and Volume 1 of second season of the official sets. I still have to get Volume 2 of season 2. I just hope they release season 3 and finish the show! Superb Robert Urich series, that ended WAY too soon! :)

The plug for Five-O now being officially completely out on DVD was a nice touch, James.

Guess what? Season 3 Volume 1 will be released on May 8th according to http://www.tvshowsondvd.com

I know...I saw yesterday...AWESOME!!! :D I can't wait for May 8th, and I'm thrilled CBS/Paramount is most likely going to finish the show out...as this is Volume 1 of last season. But if they're going to the trouble of doing Volume 1, I can't believe they wouldn't do a Volume 2 sometime later this year.

It's too bad Robert Urich passed away so young. I'd read somewhere that before he was diagnosed with cancer, he was thinking about trying to put together a "Vega$" reunion movie (as he'd done with his "Spenser: For Hire" show), as he'd always felt "Vega$" was cancelled way too soon...the producers cancelling it just because they'd cancelled "Charlie's Angels" the same year. But, sadly the "Vega$" reunion movie never came about.

So, I'll have to get this DVD set when it comes out, and I still have yet to get my last season (season 12) DVD set of "Hawaii Five-0"! I'll have to do that sometime this week. :)

While I was looking for what his role is, I found two other news items. Comedian/talk show host Dennis Miller will guest in a H50 episode in Feb. as a retired talk show host who gets bored with his life and starts a pirate radio station. :lol:
Finally, for May sweeps, H50 and NCIS are going to have a two episode crossover starting on Hawaii and concluding in LA the next night on NCIS. :D 8)
James Caan and Dennis Miller.........I am a big fan of both..........I wonder if Caan will have a recurring role as Danno's Father?
Just saw the preview for next week. James Caan and Dennis Miller on the same episode! :D

Yeah, I'd read a while back that James Caan was going to have a guest-star role in an upcoming episode of the new show, playing Danno's father. Saw tonights episode, and the advertisment for next week...looks awesome and entertaining! :D

I think this next month is when Ed Asner is returning as August March (his character from the original series)...the month being March, of course. :wink: I'm sure that has nothing to do with it. :P

Just stumbled across the ep which has that cameo of Gillian Dubb. (Bird in Had) She does utter a line. The memorable; "Angie! Bye!"

For the classic H50 fans who watched it Monday-Friday on MeTV until they took it off at the beginning of the summer...they're bringing it back! Unfortunately it's only on one day a week, Sundays at 6:00 pm for Eastern/Pacific and 5:00 pm Central/Mountain.

But it gets better...they're airing Black Sheep Squadron with LM and Jeff MacKay right after it! :D

This new fall schedule starts 9/1, so the first day they'll be on is Sunday 9/7.

Eastern/Pacific schedule: http://metvnetwork.com/files/MeTV%20Nat ... %20E-P.pdf

Central/Mountain schedule: http://metvnetwork.com/files/MeTV%20Nat ... %20C-M.pdf

I started watching the new series (the 2010) one in January of 2013 and am absolutely a HUGE fan, love Hawaii Five 0. I think Alex Oloughlin and McGarrett and Scott Caan as Dano are awesome! And the rest of the cast is fantastic as well. I am 35 so I obviously never saw the original series when it aired but I've watched a few on Netflix and it's extremely good! I always liked Jack Lorde since my dad got me hooked on the old Sean Connery James Bond movies and seeing him in Dr. No. Anway, back to the new series great cast, stories, and an awesome show!

I watched an original Hawaii Five-0 episode the other day on Cozi TV. Just flipping (broadcast) channels and stumbled upon it. It was the Season 1 episode "King of the Hill" with a young Yaphet Kotto as a troubled Vietnam Vet. Danno was shot in the abdomen early in the episode and spent the entire episode on the floor before he could get help. Amazing he didn't die from blood loss. Pretty good episode. I enjoyed it.

There was an amazing array of guest stars on the original. I find it a tad slow moving and wooden now but it really isn't fair to compare it to todays actions shows..........

I couldn't deny my curiosity anymore, and I've just jumped into Hawaii 5-O on Netflix. I'm eight episodes in. I think I'm going to be putting some other tv series on the back-burner for this one. 5-O is very new to me still, but my first impression is that this show just oozes STYLE! I never watched the show before, and I wrongly assumed Steve McGarret was kinda a wooden, cop character. Man, was I wrong! I'm kinda also thinking that black car he drives is just the coolest car in tv. So glad this thread helped me take the dive into this show!

Where has this show been? I'm so happy they have this show on Netflix. I'm almost finished with season two and just LOVE the show! So much style! And the story plots are still far-out! It might be 2015, but this show still seems ahead of the times! One of the coolest shows I can recall watching!
