Here was the original title sequence for this show:

But then they changed it to make the music more like the original:

Excellent call. A vast improvement over their first attempt.
 
"Now it's my crime scene." Nice. :lol:

Cool opening scene, too. Didn't expect to see Marsters, of all people.
 
I've just watched half an hour, a half hour wasted I'll never get back. It's all testosterone and "hip" and attitude. The characters are "here we go again I've seen them seemingly everywhere before." How NuMcGarrett gets his job is bullshit and lacks credibility.

Five-0 TOS was a cool show. This is the grunge version.

I voted fail and I won't bother again. :thumbdown:
 
^^ I don't think you will ever find a 60's show revival you like. :)
Could be. I can't stand how a lot of television is done these days. In fact I've watched next to zero commercial television for the past year. I just find a lot of what is done ridiculous.

And why won't those kids get off your lawn?!

I'm watching on DVR-Delay, not too bad so far and will likely be one I'll give another watch. Let me know if people here are interested in a weekly discussion thread.
 
So far, 5 minutes into it, it seems to be a pretty serious take on it rather than a campy/jokey take on it.

I agree, and it's not a bad show so far. But I still say it's quite a deviation from the original. The dynamic between McGarrett and Williams is WAY wrong. Perhaps eventually their relationship will evolve into more familiar territory as the series progresses.

And while I'm enjoying it, I can't completely disagree with Warped's view on it either. It strikes me as another show that maybe they should have made, but just not called it Hawaii 5-0 and not had the characters with those names. It's SO far from the original that I don't think anyone could have accused it of being a ripoff had they done that.
