DVD Reviews of Hawaii Five-O - The Fourth Season
DVD Review: Five-0 rocks!
Summary: 5 Stars
I only recently discovered this show, but I quickly fell in love with Hawaii Five-O!
beautifiul locations, good writing, loathsome bad guys, and some seriously cool good guys (anyone who can have a hairdo like Steve McGarrett's and still command respect the way he does has GOT to be cool) makes for an exciting, adrenaline-laden cop show that's clean enough for anyone to watch.
I watch this with my little brothers all the time, Five-O is responsible for my 7 year old brother going around saying things like "groovy", "dig", and "chickie baby." Oh well. He missed out on the 70's, I guess one little part of it in his vocabulary isn't going to hurt anything.
but regardless, this is a seriously fun show for anyone who likes a good cop drama!
Some of my favorite season 4 episodes inclue Skinhead and Highest Castle, Deepest Grave. I think they're all good though.
Highly recommended!
DVD Review: Hawaii Five-O - 4th Season
Summary: 5 Stars
The old shows are just great, and Hawaii 5-0 is a wonderful series. I am looking forward to more. Yes, life did exist without cell phones, and crimes were being solved. DVD Review: THIS IS ***NOT*** A COMPLETE COLLECTION
Summary: 1 Stars
This is not a review of the series, which in my opinion is the greatest Crime Drama ever made. As for the VERY long-awaited DVD release, I've been Very disappointed. Stated in the fine print on the boxes, unfortunately Paramount/CBS decided to offer us an INCOMPLETE (missing episode(s)) and EDITED set. In addition, it's NOT-SO-SHARPLY "remastered". Compared to broadcast recordings, it doesn't appear to be remastered at all to me. I'm sure that Jack Lord, being the perfectionist he was about this show, would NOT approve.
If I like a show enough to want to collect it and to pay hundreds of $$$ for it, I expect a few minimum basic qualities. Those are: EVERY EPISODE, UNEDITED, and digitally remastered at least to the resolution at which it is noticeably clearer than my own recordings. This set is missing all of those essential qualities. So it seems VERY expensive to shell-out ($36 x 12 Seasons == $432) for it when I can record the same thing free. It's kind-of insulting for Paramount to offer an INCOMPLETE SET at that price.
Unless you don't get re-runs (you'd have to live in Mongolia) and you just can't wait to see the edited episodes they chose to include, it may be well worth just waiting another 2 years or so for the inevitable boxed set. Of course, a series this popular, will be offered in a boxed set (and for Half that price) after they've exhausted all the individual season sales, as we've seen every Christmas with even less popular series. Those always include "Previously Unreleased Episodes", "(Complete) Director's Cuts", and "High Resolution Digital Remastering", etc. to compel even those who paid $432 for the individual sets to buy it - Exactly what they're withholding from this set. And they always come packaged in some collectible tin or box. Maybe a die-cast Mercury in this case.

every bit as good as it was the first time i seen it when it was a series on tv.DVD Review: Hawaii Five-O

So, who would not enjoy the fun of Steve McGarret catching the bad guys, and the Hawaiian Islands? Campy? Yah... But I love it just the same! I was a fan then, and I am a fan now! :-).
Description of Hawaii Five-O - The Fourth 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 playing members of the Five-O team.System Requirements:Running Time: 1215 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating:?NR UPC:?097368920743 Manufacturer No:?892074Could it be that with Hawaii Five-O's fourth season, a third of the way into its remarkable '60s-'70s run, the show has gotten... well, cool? Actually, there are signs throughout this six-disc set of 24 digitally-remastered episodes that point to yes. Let's not get carried away here; Five-O is still basically as square as Tiananmen and Trafalgar, and as long as Steve McGarrett (portrayed, as ever, by Jack Lord) is in charge, its groove factor will never rival that of, say, CSI: Miami, or any other glossy new millennium cop drama. Indeed, the show's corniness and utter lack of irony remain integral to its charm. But there are a few interesting developments in this '71-'72 season. There's a good complement of snappy dialogue (one particularly large perp is "so big he could go bear-hunting with chopsticks"). And although the pacing can be pretty stodgy, the editing is a bit more deft; many scenes flow more naturally, and in at least one instance ("I Want Some Candy, and a Gun that Shoots," wherein a sniper is picking off cops on a coastal highway), the entire episode is more exciting than the Five-0 norm. The direction and lighting are also more stylish, while the music (not just Morton Stevens' classic theme song but the incidental sounds as well) and location scenery, two elements that have always been among the series' strong suits, are as good as ever; in fact, the islands look so lush and inviting that one wonders why the bad guys can even get motivated to commit their dirty deeds.
But they do, of course, and McGarrett and his faithful team (James MacArthur as Danno, Kam Fong as Chin Ho, and, in what remains one of the great TV credits ever, "Zulu as Kono") are there to stop 'em. This time around they're dealing with everything from a big money travelers check scam ("3,000 Crooked Miles to Honolulu," with Jed Clampett... er, Buddy Ebsen as a guest villain), eco-terrorism ("Is This Any Way to Run a Paradise"), political assassination ("Rest in Peace, Somebody"), and racism-rape ("Skinhead"), along with the usual murders and encounters with Red Chinese nemesis Wo Fat (Khigh Dhiegh). McGarrett is for the most part still as stiff as his hair, but Lord occasionally displays considerable passion, as when he breaks down in tears upon being informed that a nasty car accident did not leave him paralyzed (in "The 90-Second War," a two-parter). As always, bonus material is limited to brief, previous-week promos for each episode. --Sam Graham
