4.0 out of 5 stars Season 12: An Aged Treasure to Cherish, November 4, 2009

H50 1.0 FOREVER - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hawaii Five-O: The 12th and Final Season (DVD)

I recently watched the episodes of Season 12, which has been criticized for being sub-par for Hawaii Five-0. I genuinely enjoyed them. The plots were excellent, the new Five-0 team came across as highly capable, and the adaptation of the morality tale was quite appropriate for the time in which these episodes were produced.
.
Of course, I missed the Five-0 team I had known: Danno, Chin Ho, and, yes, even Kono, whom I will always miss. But don't misunderstand. William Smith, Sharon Farrell, and Moe Keale were excellent as Kimo Carew, Lori Wilson, and Truck Kealoha. In fact, the way Kimo and Lori were introduced, allowing them to come with problems and a past, was outstanding. It explained what made them tick very quickly. This was a distinct advantage over earlier Five-0 team. Did we ever know what made them tick aside from an ad lib here and there? I don't think so. Herman Wedemeyer was back as Duke Lukela - gotta love that man!
.
More good episode themes and interludes throughout the season. Without checking the credits, I knew that Morton Stevens, Don B. Ray, and Bruce Broughton were back in the composing saddle. I wonder why only one song from Five-0 won an Emmy, when I would rate at least a half-dozen from the entire series as award-worthy.
.
It was good to see actors who had appeared in earlier seasons; e.g., Andrew Duggan and Kas Garas. They had aged, of course; in fact, I did not recognize Jason Evers even when he was pointed out to me.
.
The best quality, I think, was the continuation of the morality tale. For example, in "Image of Fear," Jack taught a young teen that she should not blame her parents for the effect their divorce had on her. After all, he pointed out, many people have come from broken homes and other bad situations to fully succeed. In "Use a Gun, Go to Hell," he taught us, by tracing the bloody circuit a gun had taken, how dangerous they are. He rebuked the theory that people, not guns, kill, a point that remains highly debatable, given the fact that guns do not have a will of their own.
.
It is good to see something on TV that dares to stand up and be counted in favor of the higher cause. Five-0 did that for 12 remarkable seasons. Yes, its flavor changed through the years, but, then, so did the actors and their characters. One ages a lot in 12 years. Society's mores changes, and they especially changed between 1968 and 1980. We moved from conventional middle-class thinking through the hippie era, through Vietnam and Watergate, and into the societal depression that followed. Five-0 changed, but it also survived - and has survived for more than 40 years. When the remastered DVD of Season 12 is released, I will buy it, and I will treasure it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hawaii Five-O finally in it's entirety !!!!!!, January 11, 2012

Robert Smith (Highland,Michigan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hawaii Five-O: The 12th and Final Season (DVD)

I received my copy of the final season of Hawaii Five-O this week.It appears that CBS/Paramount has done a first rate job with this last season release.The video quality of the transfer and digital remastering of the set is AAA+++.A crisp and colorful picture really shows off the Hawaiian scenery in all it's glory.I have watched a couple episodes from this set,and really enjoyed them.As with any series that has run 12 years,some may complain that the content quality does not hold up to the earlier seasons.Although I will give this set five stars as it still blows away 95% of the garbage that is on tv today.Thanks CBS/Paramount for finally making the entire series available.Far too often a studio will stop releasing seasons of a series on dvd after only a couple seasons.I can now enjoy every episode of Hawaii Five-O.....all 12 great seasons of the classic series that defined cop shows.

This review is from: Hawaii Five-O: The 12th and Final Season (DVD)

This is the sad end to one great TV show. Jack Lord is trying to make it work with the new people.
And can only do so much. I am happy that I will now have them all.
And can watch them as I wish.
This was when TV was great and had great shows on. Not like the trash that is on now!
I will pick this up the day it comes out.
It will not be long until I don't need cable at all.(( Update). I caned the Cable TV...
Cut about $70.00 off my bill. Just got the High Speed Net with them now. They just did a Up-Grade on it.. Now going up to 50.
So that is fine with me...
Be well all.
