Re: Hawaii Five: O: The Sixth Season and beyond

I have reliable info which confirms Season 7 is heading our way October 20th.

Great cover on season 6, btw. Possibly my favorite to date. There are a number of outstanding episodes this season as well, including "Hookman", "Draw Me a Killer", "Nightmare in Blue", "Secret Witness" and more. Unfortunately Wo Fat does not appear this season, but returns in season 7.

Not long read the TVShowsOnDVD article and looked at the Season 6 front cover artwork.

It's one of my favourite front cover artworks which CBS/Paramount have done. They're consistent with good artwork on the Hawaii Five-O boxsets. Plus they've got it right this time and remembered to put Ben on the front cover, as he was in the main cast for Season 6 and not Kono.

I like the background artwork and the purple colour theme. Notice the woman silouhette in the background on the rocks.

And the Jack Lord image looks like it's from 1973 and not one of the first five seasons. The image of Danno dosen't look much different to the one used on the Season 5 front cover artwork.

When it said in the announcement article that there was additional info I thought it was going to say there would be Jack Lord episode intros/promos. That could still happen though. That's normally been announced after the front cover artwork has been posted on the web.

When the rear cover artwork is posted on TVShowsOnDVD I hope it's mentioned that the show won it's only Emmy for music for "Hookman".

Of what I remember from watching Season 6 on Granada Plus there were plenty of very good to excellent episodes. Some of these were "Hookman", "Draw Me A Killer", "Nightmare in Blue" (guest stars John Beck before he played Mark Graison in Dallas years later) and "Death with Father". From the Season 6 episode titles the aforementioned episodes in this post are the only ones which I can remember scenes from.

That front cover art for #6 is quite eyecatching and appealing. This could be a possible purchase for me.

Re: Hawaii Five: O: The Sixth Season and beyond

Even if I didn't like the cover, I'd still buy season 6. I've become addicted to this show in the last two years. I'll most likely buy the whole series, even season 12, of which I've heard many negative comments.

Re: Hawaii Five: O: The Sixth Season and beyond

I like to see all the seasons of Hawaii Five-O released, but I do remember issues with Starsky and Hutch when it was first release it took awhile for the last season to be released or at least two years. There are other examples like Knots Landing, which has the second season coming out in April, but it has been a few years before the first season came out.

I like to see additional dvds for Benson, The Rookies, which only the first season. I also like to see series like Carter Country, Holmes and Yo Yo, Hogan Family, Three's Crowd, the ropers, etc.

Me too. I know it's too late to throw it on the correct season set, but couldn't CBS/Paramount do some research and see if they could add it in as an interesting extra? Heck, if it's legally possible, I'd love to see them add a little documentary about it as well. Morbidity aside, it's quite interesting how the whole censoring of the episode worked.

It's almost like the 'Sex and Violence' episode of Doomwatch survived the cullings of its third season by being banned outright. And yet it was still released.

I very clearly remember watching this three parter as a kid and never seeing it again. I think it was probably the first time I remember seeing a nighttime program continued from one episode to the next (not counting BATMAN).

I would definately like to start with that season.

Me too, I caught that on a local indie channel (that was WB, now MyNetworkWhatever) and it hooked me. For the longest time I couldn't see the third and final episode and my TV was mono at the time so I couldn't hear what the last line of Part 2 was, so...yeah, I need to see this again. Heck, I'll get it today!

Re: Hawaii Five: O: The Sixth Season and beyond

I had been thinking the first two-hour Hawaii Five-O episode (after the pilot movie "Cocoon") "Murder, Eyes Only" was from Season 7 and also that it marked the return of Wo Fat after the Season 5 episode "The Jinn Who Clears the Way". I checked EpGuides.com earlier today and saw it was actually the Season 8 premiere. So it's looking like that episode won't be out on DVD until the start of next year. If Season 7 is being prepped for an October release Season 8 won't be out before the end of the year.

Wo Fat's next episode after "The Jinn Who Clears the Way" is "Presenting ... In the Center Ring ... Murder".

Still no sign yet on the BBFC's website of a Season 6 promos listing. Will post here when it is put up on their website.

Re: Hawaii Five: O: The Sixth Season and beyond

I caught "Murder, Eyes Only" about a year ago, and it is a surprisingly strong episode, for a TV show starting it's 8th season. I'm really looking forward to seeing that one on a remastered CBS/Paramount DVD one day...

Season 9's "Nine Dragons" is an even better 2-hour season premiere, also with Wo Fat, with a very strong James Bond flair to it (and location shooting in Hong Kong). He didn't appear again until the cartoonish series finale in season 12, so "Dragons" is the last great Wo Fat show (and one of the last great Five-0's period, along with a handful of other season 9 shows).

Fortunately, as Wavecrest mentioned, we will get to enjoy Wo Fat again later this year, as he returns next fall in season 7's "Presenting in the Center Ring...Murder", another good one.

Re: Hawaii Five: O: The Sixth Season and beyond

I'm wondering whether or not CBS/Paramount will put a picture of Douglas Mossman on the Season 7 front cover, along with James MacArthur, Al Harrington and Kam Fong. He wasn't a main cast member but his character (Detective Frank Kemana) was a member of Five-O in Season 7.

One of my favourite seventh season episodes is "Welcome to Our Branch Office", in which a criminal (played by either Frank Gorshin or that other actor who looks like him who was in the Every Which Way But Loose sequel Any Which Way You Can (his character in one scene in the film went to Philo Beddoe's house trying to persuade him to do a fight with another fist-fighter (played by William Smith who a year before was in Hawaii Five-O's final twelfth season) constructs an exact replica of the Five-O offices and/or Steve McGarrett's office. But that isn't his only Mission: Impossible-style plan. He also puts together a team of Five-O team replicas - four men who look just like McGarrett, Danno, Ben and Chin Ho. The only disappointing thing about the episode was the ending - it was the perfect set-up for some comedy moments but failed to happen.

Just pre-ordered the 6th season thru Amazon for $35. It appears to the lowest price on the net. I could have waited for DD's 20% off sale in May, but figured, why wait.

Can not wait till it arrives!

I've been waiting and waiting for news on when Season 6 will hit the UK....finally there is a release date! Just been on Play.com and there is a page for the sixth season boxset. The front artwork is identical to the US boxset but the price is higher than the previous two boxsets (£25.99 compared to £16.99-£17.99 for the fourth and fifth season sets). It will be released on Monday 14th Sepetmber, 2009.

Link below to the Play.com page for the sixth season boxset (Region 2) of Hawaii Five-O:

Re: Hawaii Five: O: The Sixth Season and beyond

Season six was great! I just finished watching all the episodes. Noticed several shows with cut out parts. One is "Murder is a taxing affair". There is a chase between McGarrett and Cavel. The part missing is Cavel escaping McGarret into his hotel retail car area to swap cars. It is too bad some one has to cut out these! Otherwise, this is another excellent season !!

At least three in season six. Keep in mind there are several others from earlier years. Other posts have year one and two with at least three. The Wild Wild West have several also in there four season package. This seems to be a problem with 60's and 70's T.V. SERIES.

Re: Hawaii Five: O: The Sixth Season and beyond

The last (and only) DVD edit to Five-0 that I was aware of was in Season 3's "Trouble in Mind" in which 10-20 seconds of a scene featuring a song was removed near the beginning of the episode. (There's also the omission of Season 2's "Bored She Hung Herself", which was noted on the box). Seasons 4, 5 and 6 have not had any cuts to my knowledge, although I haven't finished viewing every episode yet. I have original uncut shows recorded off TV for comparison.

Please provide specifics if you believe something was cut. My experience has been that often times people get certain elements from episodes confused with those in other episodes, which is understandable given the fact there are over 280 hours of the show that originally aired.

Season six cut episodes Murder is a Taxing Affair, Murder with a Golden Touch. SEASON'S 3,4,5, ARE ALL FINE. Season 1, 2 had some cut shows. I also have the originals, from local T.V.

Re: Hawaii Five: O: The Sixth Season and beyond

If there were indeed any cuts, they were very minor. I did not check the time of each S6 episode but the ones I did all were definitely uncut (the closing credits started at the 49:30 mark).

The S6 set was first rate in my book; great A/V quality and the stories were still fairly strong.

Re: Hawaii Five: O: The Sixth Season and beyond

If these episodes are cut - you're talking about a frame or two. These are the lengths on the DVD of the two "cut" episodes and two on the same DVDs.

50:07 Murder is a Taxing Affair

50:05 Why Wait Till Uncle Kevin Dies

50:07 Murder with a Golden Touch

50:06 Secret Witness

I can't understand why these episodes would be cut. If the reason was music rights then yes I would understand.

I have not seen any proof they are cut. Takes more than the word of a fellow HTF memeber, and his say so.
I have not read anything about cuts, in any season of the show!

Except here, and its been months, if not years since the release of some of these seasons.

Glad you do not believe! Trust me, there are short scenes cut out! I would be glad to send you a copy of "Murder is a taxing affair", just to show you that you are wrong!! You will see the missing scene, which McGarrett and Danny are following Cavel. They jump to another scene. In the original, Cavel goes back to his hotel, gets out of his car, and steals another rent a car.

THe point is that if anything really were missing, then the episode would in its true length be longer than the others on the set which we know aren't cut.
