It was watchable, rather violent (lots of gunshots per episode), but hardly amazing. The Hawaiian locations distinguished the series as a nice break from backlot-LA, where everything in those days was filmed (even New Yorker 'Kojak' was filmed in LA). The best episodes were the ones with McGarret's nemesis Wo Fat, an extraordinarily evil recurring villain.<br /><br />Given your high regard for the pilot script, I will give the series a try. Given CBS's current sked challenges, I would expect this series to go into Thursdays at 9 pm (it's old slot), with 'CSI' moving elsewhere in the line-up (probably Sunday nights). <br /><br />I do hope the new producers find a way to incorporate the old classic theme into the re-boot.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to reading your upcoming reviews of the other pilot scripts under evaluation, and am particularly keen to learn your views on the new NBC projects from Mr. David Kelley ('Kindreds') and Mr. J.J. Abrams ('Undercovers').<br /><br />Anonymously, DuMontAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
