Just happened upon your site while looking up some information about Heeia. I will be back to read about the nitpicking before watching my next episode. I was pleased to find the name of an acquaintance Lee Stetson, who acted in episode 215 and with whome I worked at Hawaii performing arts company when I was just a teen in 1971. Good memories. nice site.

Not only has H50 been taken off of WGN, I can't find it on KDOC-Los Angeles anymore. What is this world coming to? I was watching the shows and comparing your notes to them while finding some more of my own continuity errors. I'm helpless now.

Just finished sending WGN a message indicating my displeasure at the abrupt cancellation of Hawaii Five-0. I also informed them that I intend to boycott their TV station until the series is restored.

Lost our H5O Show when WGN Cable pulled the plug. Are they to resume airing H5O & when? Are any or all episodes on DVD or VHS? Who's gotem' & at what price? Reply to alpen@pcisys.net

Hawaii Five-0 was the most popular show since the late 60s, and now that show is just a memory, especially Jack Lord.

I have tried to contact WGN about taking H5O off the air but I can't seem to find a way to E mail them!!! I tried your address you gave online for WGN but I am not having any luck. Mike, can you find out if they are going to show H5O again and what their reason for taking the show off so suddenly without warning!! Thank you!

I'VE BEEN A LONG TIME FAN OF HAWAII 5-0. IT STILL REMAINS TO BE ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS. I WATCH IT EVERY MONDAY AT 3AM ON WGN.

I had been watching Hawaii Five-O on WGN and was very upset to find it no longer there...I need my daily fix of McGarrett! Does anyone know of other cable stations it is on in Indianapolis? What about the new upcoming movie...any word regarding actors, plot, filming dates, etc.?

I am so mad that WGN has taken H50 off and replaced it with back to back episodes of Matlock!! Please tell me they are going to air it at a different time. I need my H5O fix!!!!

LOVE 5-O AND THIS WEBSITE! WHY BOTHER WITH A MOVIE? THERE IS NO 5-O WITHOUT JACK LORD. MY FAVORITE EPISODE IS "THE SINGAPORE FILE". HAS ANYONE NOTICED THAT IN "ALL THE KING'S HORSES" WHEN THE "POOL-SIDE BABE" READS MCGARRET 'S PALM, SHE SAYS HE'S GOING TO LIVE FOR ANOTHER THIRTY YEARS? SHE HAD IT JUST ABOUT RIGHT, UNFORTUNATELY.

We get hawaii five-0 2 times a day on cable in vegas. the episodes air 9am &2am. the show and jack lord are brilliant and i would be most upset if the series is ever taken off.forget a new five-o movie,you can never recapture the brilliance and charisma of the original. leave us with our happy memories.

I found this website basically by accident - What a Site !! It is great !! I am a long time fan of H50 and the gang and always wondered "whatever happen to....". I watch H50 everyday on WGN (on my cable) also on another TV channel here in the Phoenix area. Sometimes twice in one day for H50 !! Thanks for the opportunity to contribute to the memories and the pleasure that H50 & the "gang" have given us all.

hi! i am about to turn on the tube to watch five-o on wbpx (formerly wabu) tv ch. 68 boston. they changed it from 2pm to 2 AM due to the pax network having a religous end to it, putting all the "violent" shows late at night. i doesn't matter if the aired it at 5am i'd still watch my favorite show ive seen since it's debut in 1968. i'm about to see "one for the money, episode 17, 1969) i feel about the new movie, well, reeves and gibson are good but any real five-o fan will agree with me- there will be only one mcgarrett, our beloved jack lord. the only ones i would like to see in it are the remaining surviving original members! james mac arthur, head of five o. if anything ever happened to steve in the series, "i.e- yesterday's gone and tomorrow wont be born" he ran the show, and still should. god does he look old!!! i was shocked!!! sorry,jim!!! kono, kam fong, and al harrington. that should be the line up. and danny should drive a black 2000 mercury grand marquis park lane to replace the 1968 model or buy the one the man from the imoa restored (steve's original car!) if there are new actors i guess gibson could fill the bill but things wont be the same with out the original members taking over. may five-o and mcgarrett live on forever!!! a fan forever steve(mcgarrett)andrews

As a longstanding fan of Hawaii five O, I have only just come across your site! yep, I know where I have been, busy developing my own web sites!! As one of the original Long board surf riders in the UK in the 1960's we used to watch the series mainly for the surf scenes! but then of course we were hooked and avid followers. Can anyone tell me how we can get to see ANY of the series here in UK...I can get cable, Sky and Sci fi etc, but have not seen any advertising on the runs of Hawaii Five O. And when is the film coming out?? OR...anybody with videos?? Please let me know - Howard howardmj@yahoo.com http://www.ambilac.com

I am looking for any CBS network airings of Hawaii Five-0 on tape with commercials as aired in primetime in 1980 or earlier. Does anyone have any they'd be willing to make a copy of? Thanks Jamie

Great site. Can you help me with the following questions? I know that Danno was the nickname for the "Dan Williams" character, but I was told that originally, the nickname was an adlib by one of the actors. Is this true? If so, which actor and what are the real life origins of the nickname?? Thank you.

Hello there, great site. I am doing a charity event and the theme is classic tv shows. One of the shows I am doing is HFO. Do you know how I can get my hands on a tape FAST! I ordered one from Columbia House but they said it could take 4 weeks. I need one ASAP. Thank you for your help. Dino Coppi Hairdoc@aol.com 480-767-7314

My mother hated Jack Lord. This began after he was coming out of Piggly Wiggly at Kahala Mall and she was going in and he didn't give her his shopping cart. "Imagine that," my mother said, "he just returned his cart to the rack." She went on to tell me Jack Lord was selling used cars in New York while she was competing for the Miss Massachusetts crown. She refused to try out for a part in Hawaii 5-0 because she said Mr. Lord was a rude man who wore a big floppy hat when he went shopping.
