Read today (on TV/film etc. news website Digital Spy) that the second season will premiere in the UK (on Sky 1) on New Year's Day.
That was on par with "Chuck's" over the top Subway product placement. But, at least with "Chuck" I can see it. Since it was a way to keep the show on. H5-0 is a pretty high ranked show. I am surprised they allowed them to do some a way over the top placement. Let's hope this doesn't continue.DaveHof said:Wow, that was some world-class product placement in tonight's episode. All they missed was a Jared cameo and Grace Park singing the "Five dollar foot-long" jingle.
I just got around to watching this courtesy of the DVR...wow that really left me with a really bad opinion of this show. Like Todd said it seems that H50 would be above this sort of take you out of the moment completely commercial for the fast food place. I sincerely hope this isn't a trend.Originally Posted by DaveHof /t/314916/hawaii-5-0-season-2-thread/30#post_3888323

I would agree, but H5O has always been very lame in the real life situations. Like this episode, most people with an IQ above 80 would know something was wrong with the officer that showed up at the tennis court to get Grace. First, the tennis instructor is the one solely responsible for her. You don't let anyone, even a government official take a child without verifying the facts. Even an idiot would have said no to confirm the situation. All he had to do was two things: one, call on his cell phone to the police station and have them confirm Grace's Dad was in fact shot, the location of the hospital and ask if an officer had been sent to pick her up along with a description of that officer; two, he still should've said OK I will follow you to the hospital with Grace in MY car.MattH. said:I felt the denouement was way too rushed last night. You had all this excellent dramatic build-up to the final confrontations, and then Steve and the team come storming in while the ex-cop sat in the car impotently? Didn't buy that for a second, and we don't even get to see Danno torturing a confession out of his former partner so he'd know where to find Grace. Far too much shorthard to be effective dramatically.
