Most people would not enjoy a show about true day-to-day Police work...it's not as exciting as you think. Not to mention, any attempt to capture it in "real-time" would require several TV seasons to cover. The truth is, most viewers want the case wrapped up in an hour episode...just my .02.

/\THIS It's enjoyable to watch, and some people read too much into it.

I liked the one where they were all getting into the car and Chin-Ho told Danno, "No round-eyes, it's my turn to sit up front!" Oh, that's right. That was a spoof of the original in Mad Magazine.

I think it's an alright show. I agree that it does sound like a V8.

lol it is a great ad but the sound over is absolutely terrible.
V8 sound but the average audience wouldnt catch that, but the continous shifting, sounding likes its in 2nd gear lol its terrible
But damn is she a beauty, love the strobes

I guess Hawaii 5-0 standard procedure is to drive fast in car chases with the doors unlocked, so they went in and manually turned the auto-lock off.

Like the show, and the car in the show, BTW.

I noticed that too. Sometimes its locked sometimes it isnt. Remember though, they aren't probably actually driving. Hollywood magic and blue screens.

.....which episode had the convertible?

You would think that they would at least copy the original show and make it more serious, no one can replace Jack Lord.
They also should of spice up and customize the camaro on the show also.

My comments for what its worth

Not at all. I just find it funny that they can go from one side of the island to the other a few times, do interviews, dig up stuff on their computers all in a few hours time instead of the weeks it would take lol. Like I said, I still tune in because I like the visuals, the car, and it's good mindless entertainment for 40 minutes.
