DVD Reviews of Hawaii Five-0: The Third Season
DVD Review: Gettin in the groove !
Summary: 5 Stars
Season 3 is very good and the characters and actors are finally starting to understand their roles.
Got to see a lot of Chin, Kono and Danny in action.
Some of my favorite episodes were:
"Time and Memories" (w/Diane Muldaur)
"Force of Waves"
"The Ransom" great episode for Kono fans)
"Reunion"(loved seeing Barry Atwater without Makeup)
"Over Fifty? Steal" (hilarious episode with Hume Cronyn)
"Beautiful Screamer"(Great Danno episode)
"The Bomber and Mrs. Maroney" ( another great Danno episode and very little Jack Lord)
Overall a great season #3 !!

DVD Review: Intriguing scripts. On location.
Summary: 5 Stars
Hawaii's detective unit outwits the bad-guys.
Clever scripts, still interesting today. Scripts written by a variety of writers. Co-producer, Jack Lord, was a perfectionist, and went over every script ahead of time making changes.
Every episode is unique for filming on location using different: houses, buildings, exotic homes, and outdoor, beautiful, locations throughout Hawaii; often using people off the street.
Similar to "Columbo" as you see what the criminal did at the start, and watch McGarrett figure it out. Likeable regular-cast, McGarrett, Danno, Chin-Ho, and Kono, and different criminals and victims in each episode. The bumper-music is just as strong at the end, showing Jack Lord knew the importance of a strong ending.
DVD Review: Great Shows, DISAPPOINTED THAT CBS FILLED IT WITH PROMOS OF OTHER SHOWS
Summary: 5 Stars
Hawaii Five-O is my FAVORITE tv series. I bought season 1, loved it. Then I bought season 2, loved it. I just received season 3 from Amazon and found out right away that CBS forces you to watch promos of Mission Impossible and McGyver that are out on dvd. Since we pay for these fine programs why do we have to waste our time watching these promos that we don't want to see every time you put a disc in? Seasons 1 & 2 were perfect, why ruin it? I still highly recommend these dvd's because of the Hawaii Five-O shows. This is tv at its best. The passion for perfection is evident in every performance from the superb cast in each episode. Anyone who was involved in the acting and production of Hawaii Five-O and are still alive should be proud of what they created. So many fans are out there who remember the show. Thanks for making them available again, but PLEASE CBS GET RID OF THE PROMOS FOR OTHER SHOWS!DVD Review: Why the mandatory commercials?
Summary: 4 Stars
Of course I love the series. But I've knocked off one star for the fact that we're forced to watch commercials for CSI, et al and even a lengthy movie trailer on the first disc! Come on...it's not like we're watching this for free. We pay through the nose for these DVDs. And there's no way to opt out...the commercials run for several minutes and no amount of pressing "menu" or any other button will let you escape.
The only benefit to being forced to sit through commercials for contemporary cop shows it being reminded of how much more fun (and less gruesome) Hawaii 5-0 was.
Description of Hawaii Five-0: The Third Season
Filmed entirely on location in Hawaii, the show followed Jack Lord as he played Steve McGarrett, head of an elite state police unit investigating "organized crime, murder, assassination attempts, foreign agents, felonies of every type." James MacArthur played his second-in-command Danny ("Danno") Williams, with local actors Kam Fong, Zulu, Al Harrington, and Herman Wedemeyer, among others, playing members of the Five-O team. Guest stars included Helen Hayes, Ricardo Montalban, Leslie Nielsen, Herbert Lom, Hume Cronyn among others. McGarrett's nemesis is the evil Wo Fat - "a Red Chinese agent in charge of the entire Pacific Asiatic theatre.The sky is blue, the sea is a brilliant turquoise, the surf is up, the scenery is lush and gorgeous, and Steve McGarrett's hair is as stiff as the breeze blowing in off the Pacific. In other words, all is right with the world as Hawaii Five-O: The Third Season arrives in a six-disc, 24-episode (including a pair of two-parters) box set. McGarrett, of course, is the main man in the islands' crack, four-man police unit; played by Jack Lord, he's the guy memorably described by the New York Times as "beyond cool but still so square he could have been Lawrence Welk's cop brother-in-law." Not much has changed in his universe as the series moves into a new decade (these episodes aired in 1970 and '71). McGarrett is still the humorless embodiment of moral rectitude; imperious, often sarcastic (especially when dealing with the fools from other law enforcement agencies who dare challenge his authority), he's one of those guys whose moral superiority is unquestioned, especially by him. Steadfast cohorts Danno (James McArthur), Kono (Zulu), and Chin Ho (Kam Fong) are still on hand, as is the usual assortment of bad guys, most of them risibly stereotypical--including arch-nemesis Wo Fat (Khigh Dhiegh), a kind of cut-rate Bond villain who speaks elaborately formal English as he plots to help Red China overthrow all that is good and righteous in the free world. And as in the first two seasons, Hawaii Five-O's style is notable primarily for the lack of it, especially in the stiff acting (with the exception of a few guest stars--notably Hume Cronyn, who's terrific in the season's most amusing and clever episode, "Over 50? Steal"), lukewarm action sequences, and appalling hair (if bad cuts and silly sideburns were a crime, the streets would be empty and the prisons full). But then, that is precisely the show's charm.
Also as in past seasons, the Five-O crew takes on crimes both common (murder, robbery, extortion, kidnapping) and not so much; in "Reunion," some World War II vets are convinced they've come across the Japanese officer who tortured them during the war, while "The Last Eden" features with eco-terrorism and "And Time to Die" deals with China's nuclear secrets. In the end, regardless of the problem, it's McGarrett and company's dogged police work that solves it. Meanwhile, the music remains the series' hippest element by far; while Nancy Wilson might not be a particularly convincing junkie in "Trouble in Mind," her renditions of the title song, "Stormy Monday," and other tunes are absolutely first-rate. Bonus features are again limited to brief, previous-week promos for each episode. --Sam Graham
