One of TV's longest-running crime dramas (only LAW & ORDER would surpass its record-setting 12-year run), the 1970s television series HAWAII FIVE-O captivated audiences with its smart and stylish take on the standard policier formula. Filmed entirely on the Hawaiian archipelago, the action-packed series followed the crime-fighting adventures of an elite state-police squad anchored by quintessential tough guy Steve McGarrett (Jack Lord) and his detective team of Danny "Danno" Williams (James MacArthur), Chin Ho Kelly (Kam Fong), and Kono Kalakaua (Zulu). Almost single-handedly rewriting the book on police dramas, the series distinguished itself with intricate plotting, inventive cinematography, exotic locations, and, of course, an indelible theme song and timeless catchphrase ("book 'em, Danno!"). This collection resurrects the iconic show with all 24 episodes of its 1968 debut series, which featured guest stars Ricardo Montalban (FANTASY ISLAND), Gavin Macleod (THE LOVE BOAT), and Leslie Nielsen (AIRPLANE).

McGarrett, Danny, Chin Ho and the rest of this classic cop show that ran and ran.
great intro sequence, great title tune and possibly the most quoted line of all time - 'Book 'em danno'
what more could you ask for?
sure its dated by today's shows, and the first series everyone is finding their feet, but still worth a watch.
Classic, timeless and absolutely fab series. Could watch these again and again. A real sense of nostalgia.
