'80s? The original aired from '68 to '80.

That said, I'm actually pretty interested in this. I really like the cast.
Fine, 70s classic. 
Oh, and I fudged up the poll. (Didn't offer the pollster to select multiple options.) Oops.
Anyway, this looks like an interesting series and will very much-so check it out tomorrow night. If there's enough traffic/response to the series I'll likely continue hosting the weekly threads for it.

A couple of weeks back, CBS had a "Fall Preview" show they ran for a half hour one night, and they showed some extended clips of the new Hawaii 5-0. I'm not sure I'd call this a return. The setting is the same, the character names are the same, but based on what I've seen it's going to be nothing like the original. I'm not saying it's going to be a bad show, but it's definitely a pretty big deviation in the characters, much like the movie version of the Dukes of Hazzard was so different from the TV version.
I'm a big fan of the original and watching those clips was kind of disconcerting. But I am going to watch the new show and try to have an open mind about it, I'm hoping it's an entertaining show.

The second one is vastly better. 
I like the music on the second one better but the visuals on the first one are better.
I could have sworn when I read about this show before that it was a continuation, not a remake. The main character was supposed to be Steve McGarrett's son Chris.

Grace Park and Daniel Dae Kim are in this show? At least they give nerds something to work with 
That was the original plan, but then that project fell through and it was later picked up by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, who decided to rewrite it as a reboot with O'Loughlin playing Steve McGarrett. But apparently the new McGarrett's (deceased) father shares some characteristics with the original McGarrett character, and IIRC O'Loughlin's McGarrett will be seen working on/restoring the same car Jack Lord's McGarrett drove in the original series. Which makes me wonder why they didn't just stick with the sequel idea in the first place. I guess they wanted to keep Danno and Chin Ho Kelly and Kono, too.
Thanks. At least now I know I'm not completely crazy.
I liked the original theme just fine, but this one's good too. It's more polished. But the flashing light at the end doesn't fit in as well.
I like this fan made version of the theme as well:

Just seeing Gary Busey was enough to make me lol.
I'm getting pretty psyched up to watch this tonight. I hope I am not too disappointed however I will give it some slack being a pilot episode.
I'm interested in the show and the second version of the theme is much better!
I like the blend of CGI and stunts such as when that truck smashes into the side of that shanty building and nails a guy.
I just hope the show doesn't become CSI in hawaii
