Hawaii Five-O
1968-1980 | Crime | USA | Created by Leonard Freeman
Overview
Steve McGarrett and his state police unit fight spies, gangsters, and Wo Fat with the Pacific as backdrop. Twelve seasons of location filming turned it into a postcard with a body count. Jack Lords hair alone deserves an Emmy. The theme, by Morton Stevens, is the most covered television theme ever. Book em, Danno. Rebooted successfully in 2010.
