Just thought of this show. Kinda silly at times, pretty good at others, This is not meant as a request for it as I think it has no chance for DVD release, but I thought it might be fun to see if others have fond memories of it and would consider it for DVD purchase.
Book 'em, Danno

Actually, this show is one of the top 8%-most-requested-shows at TVShowsOnDVD!
Heck, I'd buy it. At least some of it.
Streets of San Francisco, too!

Didn't this show run 12 seasons? Surely it will come out on DVD. Theres no "Music clearances" to deal with and the show is owned by Fox I think. Great theme tune too.

I would definitely buy a DVD of HAWAII FIVE-0 if it contained any of these three episodes:
ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY (a murderous clan of hillbillies wreaks havoc in Hawaii)
I'LL KILL 'EM AGAIN (a psychopath tries to outwit McGarrett with a series of copycat killings)
DRAW ME A KILLER (a delusional killer victimizes people who resemble the villains in a comic strip)

David-
Thanks, didn't realize this show had such a following. I figure it still had a good fan base, but didn't realize that much!
Claude, those were great segments you listed, the last one, Draw Me a Killer in particular was a good one.
Also the Wo Fat ones were amusing, and the series of shows about the Vashon(sp?) family.

My personal favourite ep's were "Over 50 ? Steal !" and it's sequel "Odd Man In" that both featured Hume Cronyn.,,, nifty interlude music too.
They played on TV Land recently, first time I'd seen them since 1970/1

I believe I read that this show has been remastered, and it looked beautiful on Hallmark tonight. Could they have remastered it in anticipation of a DVD release, or just so it would be more attractive for syndicators?

a partial release of this series like a "best of" collection might very well happen someday but I don't see the whole series making it out on DVD. With 12 seasons of hour long episodes it'd be a DVD monster!

This show would be perfect for dvd. Jack Lord was the coolest cat ever his hair is worth the price of the set alone..
The show ran from 1968-80 on CBS
That opening theme song is one of the best ever IMO. Those quick edits when the camera zooms in on the balcony and and JL turns around I mean come on in what's not to like?? Even Elvis was like shit man that guy is really cool
Those first few years had some really amazing guest stars also like Loretta Swit(twice),Yaphet Kotto,Christopher Walken and Al Michaels played a D.A. Who knew he started out as an actor...I didn't

If it was in the $30 to $50 range like many box sets seem to be these days, the entire run would still be cheaper than the entire run of one of the Star Trek series.
