There are hundreds of dangerous psychos wandering around downtown Honolulu now. On weekends, about 80-90 percent of the people on the street are crazy and/or violent.

Classic 5-0 will always be better than that rehashed new one.

I watched the first couple of episodes and gave up years ago.

This always meant Sunday night and school was the next morning.

I gave up after 10 minutes of one episode.

One thing I would like to have come out is an expanded cue music set come out. There is the one CD of Morton Stevens which is OK but limited.

Honolulu used to be a pretty nice town. Now it’s just another Democrat run shithole.

Way back when liberals regarded it as an act of kindness to empty the insane asylums onto the streets of America.

They still don't see a problem with having dangerous psychotics wandering our streets untreated...

Every thing old is new again. I remember reading of kids setting fire to drunk bums 50-60 years ago.

Teach a man to start a fire and you warm him for a day.

But set a man on fire and you warm him for the rest of his (albeit short) life.

AMC Jeep products, cliche detective plots, Carolyn Dunn (then), and a catchy theme. I have the boxed set of DVDs.

Eh, no. The best thing Hawaii Five-O ever did was leave their production equipment behind, thus giving reason to produce Magnum, P.I. - which they have also been remaking - and the remake is also awful.
