I'm surprised they didn't make a movie

I always liked the rockin' theme song

Besides learning a couple of Beatle solos and the 60s Spiderman theme, the 5-0 lead's on my list to learn..

ALWAYS a BIG crowd pleaser for gigs..

I STILL remember watching the final episode back in '80, "Woe to WoFat"..

I have it on my MP3 player right now. I listen to it often. Great theme song.

So is it a remake or a sequel?

A sequel. This will involve the son of Steve McGarrett. Could be fun. I like the fact they will write it as a continuation of the original. It will be interesting to see how they explain the demise of Jack Lord's character.

Here's the opening sequence to the new show...

Well, I like the opening. Nice nod to the original and I hope that is an indication of how they approach the series.

Scott Caan has always been a bit actor that I like and Grace Park...holy smokes is she hawt!!!

After 6 years on Lost and now on Hawaii Five-0, Daniel Dae Kim must be getting tired of Hawaii.

Sacriledge, I tell you! Using that lame copy of the theme song! I predict this will meet the same fate as the "new" Bionic Woman.

I was clicking around on some YouTube Links and stumbled across this little gem.

Go, Sammy!!!! That pumps me up and I feel like calling up one of my cop buddies and doing a little ride along, now! Look out, Wo Fat!!!

How come there aren't any cool celebs like Sammy, anymore??

It certainly wont have the same nostalgia, that 70's climate, I can see this being just another cop drama, with beautiful women and beaches etc. I used to have a friend who looked somiliar to Lords side kick, we always used to shout to him "book'em dano". I read somewhere that Lord became a recluse, because couldnt get to grips with ageing, and wanted to be remembered with his good looks from his hey day.

Actually he developed Alzheimers which basically rendered him incapable of making public appearances. He died from congestive heart failure which is often a secondary condition brought on by Alzheimers. One curious fact most people do not know is that Jack Lord was offered the part of Captain Kirk and turned it down. How interesting it would have been to see Jack Lord as Capt Kirk - "Book'em Spock."

Apparently this was tried once before: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8LHQ...eature=related

A great crossover would have been Magnum meeting McGarrett.

i was gonna skip this show as a remake, but... if it's a continuation and it stars GRACE PARK I am sooo watching it!
