I saw this show a few times when I was a kid, but don't remember many of them. I just downloaded the first season and went through most of it. The show is a lot more darker than MPI and more disturbing as well, but a very good show for it's time.

Oh, and Nancy Kwan from the Pilot would have made a great Magnum babe! Smile

I'm staked out by the mailbox in my replica blue gabardine McGarrett suit awaiting the arrival of my sixth season DVDs... Laughing

Have to admit, the acting was a little cheesy at times, so were the effects. It makes you laugh today, but still, this show was a classic.

I try and watch it as (until a schedule change today) H-50 was on back to back with Magnum, PI. I normally just have it on to catch a glimpse of any locations used in both episodes. I will say this, the acting by the main characters was very dry to the point where I am wondering if it ws trying to be Dragnet in Paradise. The guest stars are incredible, however and I can see how it was a hit series.......

I agree about some of the regulars, but McGarrett could be quite emotional and Danno had his moments, too. Jack Lord had worked with many Hollywood heavyweights before landing Five-O and he had the acting chops to prove it. Watch him in the 1958 movie Man of the West opposite Gary Cooper. You'll never see Lord as far removed from Steve McGarrett as in that role. And to be fair, many of the Hawaiians obviously weren't actors but there was no "acting infrastructure" on the islands back then; Five-O was truly the first of its kind in that it was filmed there. MPI benefitted from this, and it was a class act move to have Magnum reference H5O with regularity. CBS knew that the older show had a devoted following and they were smart to link the two programs. I would have loved to have seen a Danny Williams appearance on MPI, if only on a cameo or "wink wink" basis.

Right you are, Little G. I have watched some episodes where Jack Lord was amazing. I think I just imagine it dry because he is in those awful Botany 500 suits that so many TV actors wore back then......LOL.......I shouldn't compare it to Magnum as they are two different animals but I would have loved to have seen a crossover episode as well where McGarrett and Magnum take out Wo Fat once and for all (I'm assuming he got away after being locked away in the very last Hawaii Five-O)

Well, one effect was in "Yesterday Died and Tomorrow won't be born"
Just watched this one for the 1st time. McGarrett gets shot a few times, no blood or holes in his clothes. Maybe TV had to censor this stuff in those days. This was also the 1st Season by the way.
