The Old Hawaii Five - 0. (1 Viewer)

[Sega]

I have been watching the Old Hawaii Five-0.
Starting with season 1. And going to watch all 12 seasons.
I will watch two episodes a night. The real 5-0 was on when
TV was worth watching.

 

[Montytc]

Hawaii Five-0 is one of my favorite shows from back in the day, and Jack Lord created an iconic character.
I will say that I think there is a lot of excellent TV today, it's just that very little of it is on the major networks.

 

[AndyMcKinney]

I quite like the remake, too. I'm not always a fan of remakes, but the Five-O one is good.

 

[jcroy]

The remake is a decent one hour popcorn fare in reruns.

I don't know if I would buy the complete series set on dvd (or bluray).

As you may be aware the DVD set (and syndication re-runs) excludes the forever banned S2 episode "Bored, She Hung Herself" that originally aired on January 7, 1970, after the sad copycat death.

I downloaded that episode when I was going through the whole series on DVD, recorded it on DVD-R, scanned a real season 2 DVD label, changed the wording on the label, printed the label on the DVD, put it in a single DVD case and printed a cover based on the season 2 DVD covers. So I have the complete Hawaii Five-0 set, with a seven-disc second season.

I went through the entire series starting ten years ago, but I limited the viewing to one hour/week. (Exception: Watched two-parters at one viewing.) I felt watching more than what was originally shown "diluted the experience." Took a little more than 5 years to watch the entire series.

Remarkably creative-- now you have that banned episode to enjoy anytime you like!

Well, "enjoy" may be a strong word for what others have called a really bad episode. But it does satisfy the "completist" in me.

You're right-- I just said "enjoy" because I figured you'd want to have it to see anytime you like; still, that label is indeed very creative.

Bad or not, I wish they included it. It's well past its controversy date and I've never seen it. And I hate being one episode shy of the complete run.

 

[Dave Scarpa]

the original has been streamed in HD i wish someone like Mill creek would put it out on blu ray

 

[Wvtvguy]

I just bought a new tv & was looking at some of my old shoes to see how they look on an Oled. I hadn’t watched Five-O in a while but got absolutely engrossed. I’d love the full series on blu ray. The dvds are good quality though.

They can never include it. The legal contracts that settled the issue forbid the episode from ever being seen again. There's just no way of getting around it.

For what it's worth it is a poor episode anyway.

 

[ScottRE]

Well that sucks. And sure, the only reason why I actually want it is for completion sake.

 

[jayembee]

I have a copy of the episode. It...ah...fell off a truck...yeah, let's go with that...

It's not a terrible episode, but it's not a particularly good one, either. The quality of my copy is such that it doesn't make for satisfying viewing either way. But, yeah, what Scott said. It's a completist thing (not that I have a complete run of the show on DVD, anyway, but at the time I downloaded this episode, it was one that I wanted a complete run of).
