A Wonderful Series,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hawaii Five-O - The Fifth Season (DVD)
I am collecting all the original Hawaii Five-O Seasons as it was, in my opinion, the best Series ever shown. The acting was good, thecharacters believable and the plots interesting. The show had top writing teams and surpassed many series that are on TV today. This is only my opinion, but I was interested in it when a friend raved about it. She watches the new Series of the same name and said that I should see the first one as it was totally different and just as enjoyable to her. I'm hooked as the saying goes and can't wait until I have the complete series of 12 Seasons. That is a long time for a series to run so it must have been a winner. Buy the first one and I am sure you will become a fan, too. Trust Amazon to have nothing but the best entertainment!

5.0 out of 5 stars
No-brainer purchase for anyone inclined,
By M. Lindsell - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hawaii Five-O - The Fifth Season (DVD)
Although I am writing from the UK, I have recorded a fair number of the season 5 episodes from TV transmission on VHS some years ago, and in any case remember much of the series from the original broadcasts in the 70s.Season 5 is one of the three best seasons of Hawaii Five-O (the other two are to come, including the very best ever). I understand viewer frustration when publishers needlessly edit these releases, but apart from the omission of the season 2 episode, I have personally not been aware of any such editing. Season 4 was released with cheaper packaging and downbeat motifs on the discs themselves, and along with other comments here, I am scared silly that the publishers may not release all 12 seasons (I have the first four on DVD now and would buy the other 8 at the drop of a hat if given the chance). However the content and transfer is first rate at least for teh first 4 seasons. Reasons why Hawaii Five-O is -great- on DVD: - The wonderful locations really come across like they never did on VHS or original broadcast - e.g. the background sounds of the waves breaking on the beach or the wind in the trees, or the bright vivid colours on a sun-soaked clear day. Some episodes make me feel a little bit like I'm on holiday/vacation. - In today's world of moral uncertainty, Jack Lord is a breath of fresh air with his clear values, integrity, and respect for the law. You may not agree with how he handles every situation - but he makes you think. - As we advance through the seasons, the plots get quite sufficiently clever to make it worth watching for these alone. - Good plots + strong characters + wonderful locations = a heady mix. - The series is also respectful of cultures, and deals with many colourful issues. So my suggestion is that you can't make a mistake by buying this one (S5), and since there is so much great material yet to come, let's keep the sales up, so we might have a chance at getting all 12 seasons? . . . plus - when can we have this one in the UK please? . . the seasons are being released sooo slowly! 19 of 19 people found the following review helpful

Book 'em Danno!,
By S. Ward "stephengward" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hawaii Five-O - The Fifth Season (DVD)
Possibly the finest season in the show's twelve year run, at last, season five is here in all it remastered glory! Quality of the actual DVDs themselves is, in the main, very good - superb in some episodes; if you take into consideration the print quality of other shows from this era - colours are generally vibrant and rich. The soundtrack is intact and as broadcast - so any fears over tinkering similar to that of "The Fugitive" can be laid to rest. Subsequent seasons never bettered this one, but some tried and season 6 came close. Seasons 7 & 8 weren't too bad either and of course, "Nine Dragons" - the opening episode to season 9 is rightly regarded as classic. Highly recommended - roll on the next release and let us relive one of the very best 5-0 episodes - "Hookman".

Hawaii Five-O - No music changes,
By K. Queen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hawaii Five-O - The Fifth Season (DVD)
For all of the people who were flipping out ahead of the release of Hawaii Five-O season 5 based on what CBS did to The Fugitive - relax! I've watched most of my new season 5 episodes (thank God for DVD releases!) and all the original music seems to be intact.Picture quality is great, as in each of the previous 4 seasons, and the show itself is better than ever - this is my favorite season so far. Great writing, interesting stories, top-notch acting from pretty much everyone, including most of the guest stars, and of course the beautiful scenery, funky '70's clothes, and the awesome, unflappable Steve McGarrett, which all combine to make this one of the most iconic cop shows in TV history. I just hope CBS releases ALL 12 seasons! They've done a great job so far. 5 stars - book 'em, Danno! |
