CBS's executive producer for the television series Hawaii Five-O, Peter Lenkov, issued an apology on Tuesday, December 14, 2011, on behalf of the Hawaii Five-0 production unit, to "veterans and members of the Greatest Generation Foundation whom we unintentionally offended when our events coincided." [ snip ] the crew was rude and disrespectful to 23 World War II veterans who attended a ceremony and visited the sacred cemetery while they were filming. Production assistants shushed and rushed the WWII veterans as they laid red roses at their friends’ gravesites and continued to work during the national anthem, taps and during the ceremony

beyond words

Nobody is watching this stupid Jack Lord retread anyway.

“Kill it, Dano!”

Not good enough.

CBS should air an apology by this producer putz along with the filmed episode. It should also include the resignation of the producer putz.

Class action suits should also follow quickly.

The apology was going pretty well right up until “Contrary to some reports...” — then it turns all insincere and “hollywood”.

I think I would have gone postal had I been there

[4yearlurker]

Why didn’t anyone tell the “CBS production crew” to shove it. My wife watches this stupid show where every cop is a genius and bullet proof tough guy.

[dfwgator]

With this cast, this time, I’m rooting FOR Wo Fat.

[Wolfstar]

Yeah, it’s an awful show. Not a Jack Lord retread, but a modern Hollywood mess.

[american_ranger]

This show interested me less and less each week and then it died with the totally over the top finale.

I have not watched it since. Part of the allure is that I lived there for 3 years. Met my wife there too. She was working on Hotel Street (NOT!!!)

[Night Hides Not]

With this cast, this time, I’m rooting FOR Wo Fat.

Had I been there, I would have made Wo Fat look like Tiny Tim.

[Buckeye McFrog]

that is one of the most half-fast apologies I think I have ever read.

This would have NEVER happened with the original Jack Lord-Leonard Freeman production.

[skeeter]

The retread lost me after episode one.

And I was a huge fan of the original show.

[ozzymandus]

Watched the first episode to see the Korean Cylon chick. It sucked. Watched part of another episode a couple of weeks ago. It sucked worse. Now they crapped on WW2 vets. I hope some people get fired over this.

[Jack Hammer]

Too little, too late.

There can be NO excuse for what that crew of ignoramuses did.

[Tennessee Nana]

Book em Dano...

[fatnotlazy]

Sadly, the target audience, mostly young people, weren't around when the original show aired. They have nothing to compare this garbage to.

The original series airs on METv in my neck of the woods.

[PGalt]

Mental midgets trying to scale the shoulders of television giants and real life giants. DEFUND socialist collectives and useful idiots.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

Yeah, yeah, yeah...and CBS is sorry for the "Snipers Wanted" graphic with President Bush on the Kilborn show...heard it all before

[NFHale]

Stupid, ignorant, Hollywood liberal A-holes...

One of these days, they’ll do a revisionist movie about how the “evil white racist generation” started WWII by antagonizing the poor, victimized, oppressed, peace-loving Asian people from Japan, and Pearl Harbor was “our chickens coming home to roost”.

Or did someone say that already....?

Geez, I REALLY want my country back....
