Not that I watched it all that often, but the Park/Kim announcements at the time were brought up on Usenet's rec.arts.tv newsgroup.
The poster consensus was that the show should have dumped McBride, assuming he was big bucks for such a lousy character, and kept the Asians...well, at least Park...
Thinking about it, my viewing tapered off to a stop shortly after it was apparent that McBride was staying. Usually like his acting, but the character didn't really add to the series, imo.
Producers brought Chi McBride onto “House, M.D.” and that also was a fiasco. They axed him quickly.

I had no problem with McBride character...
I guess the main thing, that I liked about HAWAII FIVE O, was the action...Not really acting...
