Hawaii Five 0, anybody watch?

[PeterRR]

Seeing Grace Park in a bikini was worth watching it.

[The Toyroom]

I DVR'd it so I will watch it at some point today. I am hoping they give some explanation for what happened to Steve McGarret's character since his son is now in the role.

It's not Steve McGarrett's son...it's just Steve McGarrett. This Steve's father (John?) was just killed in the pilot and was the catalyst for Steve forming the 5-0 team....

The show is not a sequel but a modern day reimagining

Thanks for the update Anthony. Wow... bummer. I was hoping it would connect with the original. Oh well...

[palitoy]

In my early twenties I never missed the original at 3AM on WUTV, now years later I can't even stay up to watch the show on primetime.

[kennermike]

I'm a little embarrassed to admit this but I never cared for the original series.

Loved the song and intro, but that's about it.

im with you Mike I just watched the first ten minutes to see if they kept the intro retro and they did .a good step for CBS but I dont think I will be watching

[scifiguy94]

I'll keep watching Castle.

[Megospidey]

It was a big "Meh" for me.

Same reaction here. I felt the same way about The Event.

Now I am looking very forward to the season premiere of The Mentalist...which is the smartest/most clever show on tv right now in my opinion.

[Megospidey]

I'll keep watching Castle.

Castle and Bones are both good shows...but the Mentalist is superior to both of them.

[mitchedwards]

I've all but given up on the big 3 networks.

[Hector]

I saw it...and it wasn't half bad.

I wasn't a faithful watcher of the original anyway.

The lead cop was kinda of a jerk in the beginning, but became more likable at the end.

One thing is for sure though...despite the vibe I get here that Jack Lord ruled more...I don't know about that...some of the stunts the new lead character did here were quite impressive...check out the part were he jumps on a car nearly avoiding another one...that was his own stunt...and it was pretty darn impressive...Jack Lord wouldn't have done that in a million years...lol.

I'll see your Mentalist and raise you a House

Hmmmm....

The new Hawaii Five 0 felt really typical. I couldn't sit through it. So.... McGarrett is the Mel Gibson character, Danno is the Danny Glover character.... car chase and snappy patter ensues.

I think it's the hazard of remakes: the standard has changed over the years, so you COULDN'T make a show like the original. (Well, you COULD; but no executive will let you....) Not a lot of one liners in the original.

Loved it and i am a long time fan that LOVED the original. My son who thinks the original is slow paced and boring loved the new series......

That's what I was looking for, "typical". There is not much to tie it into the original show except for the names and the fact that it's shot in Hawaii.

I liked it. I didn't care for the rap music. No one could do justice to shoes once filled by Jack Lord, but I still plan to watch it. I'm sure the aclu will complain because of the true justice being applied to criminals.
