This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

This series is out on DVD's Through Netflix. I am just now finishing watching Hawaii Five-0: Season 3: Disc 6, I have seen dozens of episodes from seasons 1, 2, & 3! I don't know if Blockbuster.com also has the series on DVD to rent, but they might! I had forgotten what a great TV series this truly was. Jack Lord was perfect for the role of Steve McGarret, and so was James McArthur in the role of Danny (BOOK'EM DANO!). I will now go and see if I can buy the DVD's to keep as a collection! Does anyone reading this know where they can be purchased? The ones I rented through Netfix were fantastic! I just don't know whether or not that all of the episodes from the 3 different seasons are on the discs I rented. If anyone out there knows the facts on this I would appreciate it if you could post that information! Thanks!

Remember it is the late 1960. Here is a series that dares to respect the native people of a US state. While some regard Jack Lords acting style as wooden it is solid as a rock. He is the anchor of the series. The respect McGarrett shows for his team and the people of Hawaii comes through in almost every episode. As can be expected with any series that lasts this long, there are a few standard cop scripts, but kick back and look at the scenery in those. Catch the better ones- anything with Vashon, Wo Fat, etc., etc. If you are willing to realize this was a long time ago and there are some things that are VERY different these days (for the worse in most cases) open up and fall in love with one of the best series ever. Just look at the opening credits (the first music Video?) and go back to simpler times.......

It is hard to believe that years after the development of the DVD, that this great series has not been released on this format. Personally, I think Five-0 was one of the best ensemble shows of all-time. Steve McGarrett was a larger-than-life (and too good to be true) character that you could root for in all occasions. The remainder of the team was cast with varying results, with both James McArther as Danno, and Kam Fong as Chin Ho Kelly being excellent in their roles. Even the mediocre Zulu as Kono would share the occasional "Hey brot'r". I personally feel that the long-time nemesis Wo Fat, played to the hilt by Khigh Dhiegh, is one of the best bad guys of all time TV. The running clash between McGarrett and Wo Fat always made Steve's life interesting. My favorite episode is the light and comical, "Over Fifty? Steal!" starring Hume Cronyn as Lewis Filer. Also exceptional was the 3 episode block, "V for Vashon" starring Harold Gould. This is one TV series that I will definitely be purchasing if it is ever available in the DVD format. For my money, I place my Top 3 all-time TV series as: 1) X-Files; 2) Hawaii Five-0; and 3) The Dick Van Dyke Show. The other two are available; hopefully the folks holding the current rights to Five-0 will realize there is a huge pool of people ready to spend their hard-earned $$ once available. Thanks for reading, I hope this was beneficial to you.

I can't seem to find much biographical info regarding Jack Lord. I guess he was one actor that kept very much to himself and never had a book published about his life and career.I found his character in Hawaii Five-0 very believable. Sometimes it was hard to realize he was an actor and not a real police detective.If anyone can help me locate more on Jack Lord's background, I'd appreciate it. I know he resided in Hawaii and believe he was married, but I don't have much more than that. Thanks.
