Ordered years 1-9 of Hawaii 5-0 and am completely satisfied with the product. The picture and sound are great. Delivery was prompt. I am a satisfied buyer and would recommend this purchase from Amazon.com.

Recent house fire wiped out our DVD collection, but thanks to Amazon, getting it started again.
Love the original Hawaii 5-0 set that we recently received.
Order came quick, and in excellent condition.
Checked other places for price - Amazon had the best deal, by far.
Hope to order more again soon. Thanks!!

I am glad to reply regarding my satisfaction with my recent purchase from Amazon.
I just received 9 seasons of Hawaii Five-0, the main character played by Jack Lord is very dynamic and powerful actor and he makes the series. I watched some of the new series Five-0 that was released here a few weeks ago but it is badly cast and does not have the same impact and appeal to me and was disappointing. The original is the best.

Again I must say I am always impressed with the service I receive from Amazon. My order B003KSO3Q6 Hawaii Five-O Seasons 1-9 was dispatch within a short time of me sending it and I had it in about two weeks. Amazon sure beats the service and price available in my country. I have no hesitation in recommending their products and services to all. A movie the FBI Story I ordered a few years ago from a major department store here took six months and I still didn't get it. Amazon got it for me in about two weeks. Great work Amazon, keep it up.

I took the chance and bought this set and have been very pleased with it. It does stand the test of time, which I had been concerned about. I am only up to series five, but can say so far, that each episode is built on a different idea from previous episodes,and I haven't found them to be following a formula which can make episodes seem like previous ones. Thus I think very good value for money. Series One Extras contained cast interviews, which were interesting. The only negative with this set, for me, is that it is as bulky as the photo suggests. Instead of receiving a boxed set, you will receive 9 individual season sets, so much bulkier that if the discs were all enclosed in one big box. Nevertheless, good viewing and I think, good value for money.

EXCELLENT PRODUCT,REALLY LIKED ALL THE ACTORS AND ACTRESSES IN ALL THE EPISODES;THE LATE JACK LORD AND JAMES MACARTHUR WERE THE GREATEST EVER IN A CRIME DRAMA SERIES;THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER SERIES AS GREAT AS HAWAII FIVE-O;ALL THE COVERS WERE GOOD;ALL THE PICTURES WERE VERY CLEAR AND DIGITALLY REMASTERED;LIKE THE FULL SCREEN FORMAT;OF ALL THE TV SHOWS AND MOVIES ABOUT THE STATE OF HAWAII,I THINK HAWAII FIVE-O COVERS THE WHOLE PICTURE IF HAWAII CULTURE AND LIFESTYLE;WELL WORTH THE PRICE;I NEED THE FINAL SEASON TWELVE AND I'LL HAVE THE COMPLETE COLLECTION;HOPEFULLY THEY WILL HAVE IT SOON;I WOULD DEFINATELY RECOMMEND THIS TO ALL HAWAII FIVE-O FANS AND EVERYONE WHO HAS BEEN TO HAWAII;I'VE BEEN TO HAWAII MANY MANY TIMES AND ITS VERY BEAUTIFUL THERE;ALOHA,FROM MD,JIM

this show was korny as could be but still draws you in. good quality video its fun to watch

I doubt the last three seasons (10,11,12)
will ever be 'packed' together, and the 1st
nine seasons beat the last three in spades!

Rating the seasons:
1) Seven
2) Three
3) Four
4) One
5) Six
6) Eight
7) Two
8) Five
9) Nine

(10) Ten, (11) Eleven, (12) Twelve

Breakdown by Five-0 Cast: Seasons 1-4 (minus thee
episodes):McGarrett, Dano (in Pilot, replaced by
Danno, James MacArthur seasons 1-11), Kono, Chin
Ho. Seasons 5-7 (half way through the 7th), Ben.

Seasons 5-12 add Duke. Season 7, add Frank (Doug
Mossman). Seasons 6-12, selected episodes, add
Nick (sometimes in plain clothes, sometimes as
HPD Sgt. He is in no episodes in season 11 though
...) Sandi Welles, 1 episode in season 8, three in
season 9. Season 11, which is still three stars out
of four, has Duke, Danno and McGarrett only, though
Duke misses out on a pretty good episode called,
"The Bark and the Bite".

Season 12, which is really 'McGarrett', has McG.
(all 20 episodes in sydication), Duke (13 episodes),
Jim later 'Kimo'] Carew (18 episodes), Truck (10
episodes, but gets mentioned in four others), Lori
Wilson (who disappears after 9 episodes), husband,
the hawai'ian looking Kevin (killed after half an
episodes!) and Nick reappears, once in plain
clothes as a Lt.(!), and another time back in his
HPD squad car, training a rookie woman cop
("Saints preserve us from 'probies' spouting re-
gulations...") During the Hawai'i Five-0 show,
Danno gets shot once, McGarrett four times, Duke
gets film developing chemicals throw in his face
once and launched out of a burning car another
time, and get greeted heartily by McGarrett both
times, like a long lost brother. Chin Ho gets
framed once, so does Duke and in the 12th season
so does Carew. You'd think McGarrett would have
figured out all three of these were frame-jobs
sometime before the end of the episodes once!

Truck gets shot three times in the 12th season,
twice in the same arm(!), in only 10 episodes(!),
and even Nick gets badly wounded (shot also) in
season 12!

Kono gets kidnapped in season three, but Lori,
Frank and Ben eacape the show with no frames,
Kidnappings or shootings at all! Chin Ho's
second time getting shot (season 10 ender)
ends his Five-0 career. The show never fully
recovers in my opinion, after that. Carew is
used mostly as a strong shoulder to bust down
doors in season 12 and is sometimes very dense!

Once he asks McG. what 'Deja-Vu' means! McG.
vaguely then launches into one of his 12th
season esoteric silioques (...Zzzzz....). Only
Duke comes off well in the 12th season and Lori
is no Sandi Welles! Poor Kevin...we barely get
to know him, but Frank...Doug Mossman is a 7th
season gem. I love that guy, and Duke. Both,
along with Nick are better than Kono (who's
character never gets fully developed) and the
overacheiving Ben, just don't get used properly.

Nick and Ben together are good though. Danno
and Duke and Chin Ho are my favs...I know,
Duke (Herman Wedemeyer and I both played Pro
Football once, so that's the somewhat of
attraction to his character. Both of us were
five-ft.-ten, 180+ lbs.,too.) Ah, Five-0 the
memories. The new show really is bad though.

So bad (besides the lovely Grace Park, who
I'd like to tap, if'n I wasn't happily married
to the runner-up Miss Honolulu of '94) that I
sometimes break out my 12th season episodes,
because they are better...Oy! Merry Holidays,
2010 everybody.
