I agree

What a great idea!

¡ES UNA IDEA GENIAL Y ESPECTACULAR...YO HE PUESTO A MI CELULAR EL SONIDO DEL TEMA DE HAWAII5-0...Y ES EMOCIONANTE PARA MI!

Would make the drug mules anxious. 😅

Welcome to a land of criminals?

Book e'm Dano 😆 ffs i on the wrong Wave Length , i'm British and never been to what's it's names, have a nice day, me love this long time, oh my name is Joe, i nearly forgot.

I agree!!!...and that's what I came here to see but it wasn't here.

We loved him.

I fancied him when a kid!

He really lived in that apartment that was in the background.

Yes, absolutely!

Thanks for sharing! So many back stories about the people involved in these shows is what really makes it interesting.

Wow. How did he pass away if u don't mind sharing and how old was he? Did he have a family etc Bigtime fan of this show and just wondering . Thanks much

Eddie Would Go.

Crap version.

A hard debate between this and Miami vice...........close

@@Patrick-hb7bk 😣 the new version is *cringe*

The Streets Of San Francisco, Starsky and Hutch, and Charlie's Angels had cool themes too

Better intro than the new show.

Only The Sopranos has such a recognizable theme song and opening montage. I totally agree. I remember never wanting to miss the opening of Five-O. It just set the tone for the entire show. And being in Hawaii which most of us had never seen at that time, made it so entrancing

Not better than swat

@@cindyinnew are u high? Swat theme was on regular radio rotation

@@cindyinnew the swat theme not only was on regular radio rotation it was number one on the billboard charts so it sold at the record store I'm a huge soprano fan but the soprano theme didn't even do that

Right

Linda, Jack Lord was my first-ever crush. I was 3 years old! lol. My mom loves to tell everyone how i would kiss the TV screen when he was on! lol. I own seasons 1-7 of the original on DVD and even have a Rick Rietveld 'Book 'Em Dano' Jack Lord t-shirt. The theme song is my cell ring tone as well. lol. I do love the reboot but the original is my fave

@@Stefanie2530 I love your story. Also, you remind me of my cousin when she was either two or three years old. She told her mother and me that she was in love with Steve McGarrett. She said he was her boyfriend because he was so handsome. We loved to get together and watch our favorite TV show.

Nothing beats the original on Paramount channel episodes of the original Hawaii Five-0 book it😀

Never seen it before, but your comment has me interested in watching the show now.

@@SmartWentCrazy I think you would really like the show.

Thanks for sharing your story. I know you’ll never forget it.

Thanks. What a heart-warming story, indeed. God bless Morton Stevens for giving us one of the most iconic theme songs. What a good, decent man he must have been!

@@ravisriram6746 Hello Gary, Ravi. And salute Morton. When I was a young man, I played basketball. The warm ups started with Hawaii Five-O. I thought, well, life doesn't get better than this. It did come close though!

Tell me more about warming up in basketball to this song. It sounds kind of cool for my son.

Love this.

Swat theme on regular radio rotation also made number one on the billboard charts

Et mission impossible

Book Em Danno ❤

That's the legendary Billy Cobham on drums.

Hahaha..me too...I remember looking in tv guide just to know when hawaii five-o was on and I just wanted to see the beginning then I went to bed.

@@theodoreritola9758 '70's sucked. No friendly people anywhere in Dover Sherborn junior high school, recession economy, dad drunk and out of work and still drunk when he got a job again, cigarette commercials outlawed, Palisades Park closed down, disco killing rock n roll, panic attacks I was having, fear and depression my parents got "OLD" (they turned 50 that decade), U.S. losing a war. 70's our freedom was starting to be taken away. U.S. Big Brother outlawed cigarette commercials on TV and radio. Free country my azz! When I die and God sends me to hell He can skip the🔥thing and just bring me back to the 1970's.

All great but I also love when that plane flies low.

Same here, and still does!

Was my favourite part of the show, and I really liked the show.

Same here!

¡yo tenía 06 AÑITOS y me quedaba anonadada por SONIDO del tema musical y el intro con tomas ESPECTACULARES Y FORMIDABLES....DESPUÉS PASANDO LOS AÑOS LOS CONSIDERO AÚN MÁS ESPECTACULARES... AHORA TENGO 61 AÑOS Y SIGO DISFRUTANDO DE CADA EPISODIO DE MI SERIE FAVORITA HAWAII 5-0!

All exciting music should

It was a very common popular travel destination in the seventies, that's for sure.

Hawaii now always tries to get a series filmed there. Free travel adds.

Jack does

reminds me of Miami Vice impact on Miami Beach.

Thank you as far have the remake what a joke!!! 😂😂😂😂👎

@@tonyallen6510 i enjoy watching the rebooted version on DVD. I might get the original Hawaii 5-O on DVD one day

I'm 65 now, and completely agree with you. Those were the days! TV nowadays is a real wasteland.

Absolutely 100% agree with every bit you mentioned here ... well done ...

Same with me. I had a childhood crush on that Beautiful woman looking straight into the camera.

Me too and I’m a woman

I agree with this, and Miami Vice intro became my next crush in the same manner

@@katadam2186 we need to talk 😉

I wish I could hear this live or digital dolby sound

I will make this my ringtone.

There's a holiday rental in the heart of London (UK) owned by the family of the composer who did most of the Kojak tv series music. Looked great value if you have say 6+ people to share the place. Do a search for that one.

EVER! As a Jr. high school trumpet player our school band played this and the crowd loved it and so did we!

Right On! 👍👍👍🎺🎺🎺🎼🎼🎼

THIS WAS ALL MOST ALL 1970s very little 80s

Was all most all 70s ,,, 68 69 And a part of 80

I loved all those shows too. Great childhood memories!

This was 70s stop it lol

I remember the when our high school marching band marched out onto the field at half-time playing this song when it first came out. The fans went nuts! We followed it up with a couple other great songs, and I think closed it marching off the field to The Horse, by Cliff Nobles. For a brief moment that week band members were the coolest students in school! 🙂

@Connie Crawford When did the filming for the pilot of Hawaii 5 0 take place at? Mar. 5, 2020 @ 8:40 pm

SOCORRO SILVA Ot premiered on Tv in the fall of 1968 and ran for 12 years until 1980. I didn’t memorize the date because he was a relatively unknown actor who starred in a TV series about a rodeo clown called “ Stoney Burke” which had already been cancelled but was still running already filmed episodes which had not been shown on TV yet. I actually went up to him and told him how much I liked his series “Stoney Burke “ and he told me the series had already been cancelled. ( Oops!) and he was filming a pilot for a new series about the Hawaiian state Police to debut in September of 1968. Hawaii has warm weather all year round so it was probably Jan- Feb of 1968. The network bought the pilot and ordered more episodes and put it on Tv that September of 1968. In those days, all Tv shows had new and old shows “ debut in the fall and summers were always devoted to reruns episodes of the TV shows. There were no Tsing devices available to the public so, if you missed an episode, you had to wait around until “ summer rerun season” and hope you could catch the episode you missed when it originally aired. The network only did 3 months of reruns from a 9 month of episodes , so you might never see an episode you missed. In those days, we were afraid to leave the house if we wanted to see all the episodes! Lol! Many of our families couldn’t afford a TV until we were in elementary school and then only back and white TV series were available! When color TV became available, our families all rushed to be the first in the neighborhood to buy this “modern technology”.. Do you watch old black and white episodes of “ I Love Lucy”, the Andy Griffith show, etc. Those shows were not filmed in color until the early 1960s or so! We didn’t expect a lot in those “ good old days.”

How was he with you ? I heard he wasn’t very friendly with regular people just those he did business with.

@@conniecrawford5231 Connie, I loved your post. I'm basking in nostalgia. I was too young to see the series when it first started and I can't remember if I ever watched it when I got a little older. It was only a few years ago that someone had posted the whole 12 seasons, here on you tube. I binged watched most of the series, until you tube took them down. I immediately fell in love with Jack. He was so good looking. I've only seen a few episodes of Stoney Burke, but he wasn't a clown, he was a competitive rodeo rider, who was after the Golden Buckle, given to the best rider. I'm not into that show, but honestly I'll watch anything with Jack, in his early years. I find he got sickly looking in the later years of 5-0. I'm so jealous that you met him. Was he as gorgeous in person, as he was in 5-0?

@@conniecrawford5231 totally spot-on post which brings back all memories just the way you put them. I forgot about the way they ran the reruns and all. Thinking about it's takes you back and makes you feel good.

Elvis had very VERY similar coolness , to the hairs , the charisma , the attitude ...

@@elvisrealking But the Beatles came along.

Quien es mas macho?

he's just a copy of Roger Moore in The Saint

@@m.e.d.7997 Beatles weren't cool but popular. They toured internationally and Elvis never even toured in Canada or Mexico....Europe and Japan. The Beatles spent their first US Capitol years after international fame as quirky boys in a boy band. That's the image in their concerts, publicity and movies. By the time the reinvented themselves, they were hippies. Elvis was still placing top 10 new hits from his movies when the Beatles were too. I like both, but on the coolness scale Elvis is higher at least in the 50s and 60s.

Golden era of television. And agree this show was one of the best of the genre.

Brings back memories of when I was little, in the living room with my parents 😊 I'm online now looking for some DVDs

My understanding is that the BBC wanted to ditch the TV series 'Miami Vice'. They held onto it because they thought it so interesting, artistically.

Why they try to ruin it with this new crap?

I remember it on a Friday night?.. possibly wrong

I watched it on Thursday nights in Peru with my dad. A million years ago it seems. I loved that show.

Michael Ledford Actually, Five-0 refers to Hawaii being the fiftieth state. It has no intrinsic reference to a police force other than that this show is a police melodrama. In fact, Hawaii is the one state that doesn't have a state police force, separate from the local force, as in State Troopers.

@Daniel F, Never in my life have I made the "50" connection. And it's so obvious! I would have gone to my grave without realizing it. Thank you!

Magnum, P.I. was set in the same universe as Hawaii Five-O as Five-O is said many times during the series. Hmm...Magnum and Murder, She Wrote had a crossover, but not Magnum and Hawaii Five-O.

As I read your original statement, Michael, I couldn't stop laughing. Thank you. Someday, when the "grandkids" are streaming extremely classic television cop shows and they finally hear someone else say "Book em Dano", imagine their faces as they finally get it.

What only boomers remember is that James McArthur’s real life mother was Broadway “ royalty”, the legendary actress Helen Hayes who was more famous than her son ever would ever become,! James was known for “ Hawaii 5-0” while she was a Broadway legend for many many roles

The drummer for that theme was the great Billy Cobham, a jazz legend.

How about the belly dancer??!!

That's what the real governor said to the tv governor.

WISH THEY PUT HAWAII 50 WITH JACK LORD MCGARRETT BACK ON METV AGAIN. THEY HAVEN'T SO FAR HOPE THEY DO. IF THEY DO I WOULD WATCH EVERY EPISODE.

probably right!

What About Thunderbirds? 👍Or Captain Scarlet, Mission Impossible,

Absolutely right, brings back so many memories

Forget bring it back...send me back!

@@ericl7238 Lo Thats a very good one DROP me off in Kodiak Alaska ,,Thats were i grew up Loved the 70s

So it has has been said repeatedly. It's just so catchy.

I don't know. The 60's seemed to be the decade of the big time television theme. Mission Impossible... Johnny Quest... (Amongst a handful of others) Declaring one the "best" is extremely subjective.

Doctor who says hello

@@billanthony7896 Mission is excellent too! No doubt about it. I like this though!!

Rockford Files, anyone...? Jim's Firebird making a "J-turn" to get away from the bad guys... Also it had WHITEWALLS!!!!!! They're all good! Takes us back to a simpler time...

What about Elmer Bernstein too?

Thanks did not know that,a great heads up.

Wow. I knew of Jeff Pocaro from Dave Grusin and lesser known fusion sets.

And don't forget his other sons, Mike (who also passed away in 2015) and Steve, who also were members of Toto.

@@relaxpayourincometax Dave Grusin did the theme for St Elsewhere.

You never saw? Were you on Mars?

Did you get that inspiration from Jack Lord, or from the Lord Our God? (I'm assuming the latter, but you never know ... ;-D) Having escaped, successfully, the notice of the Female of the Species in its entirety, and not knowing exactly what it is that the Lord Our God has in store for me, both on that front and on so many others (Be it unto me as Thou wilt, Lord. Come what may, and love it! ;-D) I hope you and Angie are happy. Best wishes to you and yours.

Book him Dano

For sure that would be awesome. The Danish National Orchestra could do a wonderful version of this and Peter Gunn and other great TV show themes. They did one of the James Bond that was really good.

What bout the Brady bunch

Sammy Davis Jr..."You Can Count On Me" Sang the vocals to a never used H50 theme

New one can't be too bad on ten years now. It's likely a generational thing in culture but not much more 12 years original and now still on and going ten years new one. I bet it goes another two years. I bet your grandparents thought the original was very sinful all that music they called noise after big band sounds lol

@@Bradley-sl1mp but the new one doesn't have the impact or ratings giant success as the og does it? They put it on Friday night because it couldn't sustain on any other night. Guess I should add that the reboot is fine for what it is but it's Defintely no comparison to the Jack Lord Hawaii Five-O.

Gotta agree with the replies above: the new five O is light entertainment. Blue Bloods is different kinda cop show, but the part of that that is serious drama is way better than this (just to pick one random example).

@@kendallrivers1119 How so? The remake is highly successfull. The show only has been cancelled because Alex O'Loughlin (Steve McGarret) suffers from severe backpain which he got from a stunt he did back in Season 2. So they are already 10 seasons in and I could imagine they could have went for another 10 seasons if Alex O'loughlin wouldn't have injured himself so badly.

When was it?

I loved the villain Wo Fat. He later became the motivational speaker for many overweight women at Jenny Craig's or Weight Watchers. Whoaa Fat!
