I'm glad they used the iconic music and paid homage to the original opening titles. I enjoyed the first episode, although I think the body count was rather high. Like Maggy J, I'm feeling rather old. Book him Danno, murder one.
Yes, original music, and "Book him Danno" :)
Watched it tonight - was a good action packed ep, and I think "Spike" will have survived to come back another day. I'll certainly be tuning in next week.
Loved the original yet familiar feel it had... definately one to add to my watch list
see link below, for a short review..says it is coming to bravo next month

I managed to watch it also - I never saw the original (just a little before I was born/old enough to understand TV) But I thought it was rather good, with some quick wit and bikini clad Grace Park thrown in for good measure :) will definitely carry on watching.

Just watched the first episode, really enjoyed it. ty for the heads up on this one :D
Episode two was also good. Loving this so far.
Yeah, I loved it too. I loved the part where Danno complained about "book 'em Danno".

Agreed! :) I didn't think it would be up to much, but its actually really witty and quite funny!
The only disappointment I've got is that I've got to wait another week to watch it again...

I'm enjoying this more and more :)
So far this is proving to be an awesome new show.

Another amazing episode of Hawaii Five-O :) The only thing that disappoints me is, I've actually been to O'ahu (including Wakiki) and the weather isn't as nice in real life :(
Well, I suppose Hawaii has an image to live up to. If we wanted miserable weather on our cop shows, we'd just need to watch Taggart.
Is it just me or does anyone else turn up the volume and bass when the theme tune comes on :)

Yep I do Kymmy! I never saw the original series, but I remember the theme tune :)
Well, add me to the list of people who like the theme..
Found both versions on Youtube.

This is apparently the first version of the new titles they came up with, but they were ditched when test audiences didn't react well.

This is the one they are using, which I have to say, I prefer. The first version had a sort of rock arrangement which really didn't work.

It's the only TV show I watch where I don't fast-forward the title-sequence :D
Oh I don;t know.. I also like the theme tune to Sons of Anarchy :)
I enjoy the theme tune, too. It's also got an awesome title sequence. I'm not sure I like the Irish SoA theme.
That title sequence looks and sounds brilliant on a halfway decent hd setup

Final episode of the series airs in the US on 03-Jan-2011 :( I've really enjoyed this show and hope it comes back for another season
Nope.
Jan 3rd is only Ep 13 - its a full 22 Ep Season - the back 9 episodes were ordered by CBS in October. Episode 14 (E Malama) is due on Jan 17th.

Aaah... Thanks for the further info Paul... I hadn't noticed that the others had been ordered..
I thought I was going to be without stuff to watch!!! Well until Topgear returned to BBC2 anyway :)

Good stuff :D
I love this show, although I need a bit more "suspension of disbelief" with this than with "normal" copshows, as some of McGarrett's methods would normally mean a lot of the evidence he gets couldn't be used! :D
I think this is the pick of the new shows in the 2010/11 main season. :)

Well, we're coming up to the Season 1 Finale...and I've really enjoyed the show so far, and can't wait for season 2!
Next week is the penultimate episode...so I'm hoping for a good setup for the finale!
Indeed, this has continued to be excellent every week.
Very ambitious ending for a first season. I can't to see the conclusion of it.

Excellent series...watched the finale a couple of days ago! It was a little bit of an odd ending, but it sets up nicely for S2 :) Heres hoping it isn't a long time coming :D

I thought it was an excellent end to an excellent season. I can't wait to see how they resolve everything.
Five-0 has been one of my favourite new shows of this past US TV season.
