Hawaii Five-O's ninth season comes to DVD August 3, 2010. I can't help but notice how Hawaii starts to look more like it did during MPI, especially as Five-O reaches the end of its long, successful run which of course Magnum would continue...

I haven't picked up S8 yet, does this forum's "home away from home" appear in that season?rubber chicken wrote:Cool, thanks for the update.
BTW, I don't have any notes indicating that the Estate was used in season nine, but there is a possibility it was in season ten.
On a Magnum-related note, I'll be en route to London August 3rd! I'll get to re-enact "Deja Vu"!

When you get a chance L.G....Little Garwood wrote:I pre-ordered Five-O's eighth season today. It's due out March 16, 2010. Amazon had it for $38.99 and that's one of the cheaper prices. I'd seen it up at $44.99 not a few days before.

I'm watching it now and it is in fact in the episode.rubber chicken wrote:Sam let me know of a report that the estate was used in Death's Name is Sam (8.5). (No pun intended...) I really need to stop work on the locations and finish an episode of Hawaii Five-0, like soon.

I watched 5-0 during its first run...yea, I'm an old kodger. It was a great show but it did not weather well in reruns IMHO. It was dated and I just cannot get a good feeling about it now that its run is over. There are lots of shows that hit me the same way. They were great in their timeframe but outside of it, most of the thrill is lost (X Files is another).
MPI is not this way for me. I wish I knew exactly why. Anyone else?

Who's Dot Matrix, and what has she got to do with this?

I *strenuously* disagree with the above post. In fact, luthergillis, I would suggest that you be booked!lutherhgillis wrote:I watched 5-0 during its first run...yea, I'm an old kodger.

Why is the term "dated" used as a pejorative term? And yes, Magnum is dated, as is most everything 1980s. Five-O was in reruns for some twenty years after it ended, how could it not "fare well"?
Five-O's stories often highlighted things that would come to be like the computer hackers, domestic terrorism, serial killers, criminal pathology techniques, international intrigue, drugs, chemical and biological weapons, etc. Five-O handled these types of stories first and thirty years before these other programs like 24, Law & Order and its various clones, CSI and its dopplegangers...
So Five-O is dated only in that it was a harbinger of 21st century TV concepts and storytelling devices. And none of the new shows have a leading man like Jack Lord who has become an icon.
