Wait, there's a new Hawaii Five-0?

Starts tomorrow. And it is getting good reviews too. Grace Park (cute, but needs to eat a cheeseburger or something) and Daniel Dae-Kim make me want to watch it. And perhaps this will be the project that sticks for Alex O'Loughlin. I always think of Mean Girls when I see him. "Stop trying to make Alex O'Loughlin happen. He isn't going to happen!"

Although, O'Loughlin is nowhere near as cool as Jack Lord.
 
McGarrett's on the line to Danno
We gotta pick up this guy
Put out an APB
Not much time to tell you why

Governor says it's top priority
Washington says so too
Tell Chin to get here fast
5-0 is on the move

Steve I want to say thank you
For all you've done for me
My night is dark and empty
When you're not on TV

There's an agent in the field
I want to have him tailed
He's been staying at the Hilton
Yeah should be staying in the gaol

He's working for the KGB
And here's his dossier
Those Reds won't be happy
Till this guy gets his way


Dark spectre of espionage
Hangs over fair Hawaii
McGarrett's one cool guy
The guilty will not go free

Steve and Danno they made the scene
The agent had done his deed
Caught with a stiff and a silenced gun
Said Book him Danno Murder One
 
I've been seeing posters for this all over LA. I'm sure most of us are too young to remember the original series.

? Its CBS. Show is guaranteed 5 seasons minimum.

Also, apparently Grace Park is supposed to always be in a bikini in the show.

And with Katee Sackhoff returning to Big Bang Theory this year and supposedly getting a recurring role on CSI, it looks like CBS is the haven for former Battlestar cast members.

Just saw the commercials. Best cast ever. Dude from Entourage(is he James Caan son?), Jin and some sexy asian girl. I'll definitely give it a chance.

You're joking right? This show is gonna go on forever. I'd be shocked if it doesn't get another season.

Might watch because of Jin and Grace Park.

Woah James Caan's son? If true mind = blown. He could have been Sonny's son in Godfather 3.
 
What's amazing is that I was just in Hawaii (O'ahu) last month for 2 weeks and I recognize a lot of the places spoken and places shown in clips.

I'm getting depressed now.
 
I liked it. I think Boomer and Jin will get more screen time, as the Pilot was introducing all the characters, and had to spend most of it on the 2 leads.

Jean Smart is usually a pretty good actress, too. Plus, I like Bad Cops/Mole Hunt stories, that it's definitly setting up.
 
are they purposefully mixing the tone between mega-serious and mega-cheesy? cuz i can respect and enjoy that. also like that bad guys are getting comically plowed.

they build up to the catchphrase and he couldn't give it a little more oomph?

Heh, yeah.

I did enjoy the car collision/hood jump that the Lead guy did. Went by pretty fast, so it made it hard to tell if it was cg fake or not. Show seems to like the premise of running over people, too.
 
I liked it.

Nice scenery, fast-paced, good characters. Some nice action sequences, always love a dude getting run over by a car. And the writers sure wasted no time in getting Grace Park naked.

Just checked Wiki:

Scott Andrew Caan (born August 23, 1976) is an American actor, and son of actor James Caan.

Nice to hear that it's worth watching.

EDIT: It get's even better..seems like his character on Entourage isn't an act at all:

Caan was a roadie for the rap groups Cypress Hill and House of Pain, and was a member of the hip-hop group The Whooliganz (with producer and fellow emcee, The Alchemist), before enrolling at the Playhouse West acting school in Los Angeles.

Atleast spoilertag the really important stuff!
 
I watched for James Marsters. He wasn't in it enough but it sounds like he might be the head honcho for a while, which I'm down with.

Not bad but not spectacular.
 
The fuck? Spike is in this as well?

So let's recap: Awesome dude from Entourage who also happens to be Jame Caan son, Grace Park who get's naked in the very first episode, Jin (in English!) AND James Marsters?

The casting director needs to get a raise immediately.
 
I thought it was terrible. I could get halfway through it. I don't want to hand wave it away, as once upon a time I loved CSI Vegas, but this is such a CBS show.
 
I really liked this, although I would happily admit to loving anything they did after getting hyped just listening to the theme music. It is so awesome, and I am so glad they did not change it.

Danno and McGarret seem like a great team, and the actors seem like they gel. I hope they stay aggravated with each other for as long as possible. There is not enough teams on TV these days that seem to despise each other.

One thing I did notice is the stunt work was quiet amazing. The shoot outs, leaps and jumps were all top notch, and they did a lot of stuff with cars I never saw in TV show beofre, which I was impressed with

Was amazing in my opinion. I guess it is a mix of CGI and a stunt, but it was quite cool
 
I liked it, wasn't too stupid and wasn't too serious. I didn't think I would like Caan but he did a great job to me. I liked the remix of the classic tune as well as the accompanying video. I did not like the "base" they work out of it was a bit too sterile and "TV".

I will keep watching for now. I hope they do not overdo the ha'ole
