Can you guess which year it premiered? I guessed in the 70's but it was actually 1968. Wow, Hawaii hadn't been an US state for that long before this show started.
Some fun facts from Wikipedia:
They somehow can't be copied from Wikipedia or Blogger just has layout issues. Does Blogger not like Macs? To summarize:
- the "5-0" comes from honoring Hawaii as the 50th state. The term has been adopted by American youth as slang for the police. Hawaii does not have an actual statewide police agency; the show's agency is fictional.
- The tv show Magum P.I. was created after Hawaii 5-0 ended to use its production equipment and the first few episodes of Magnum referenced Hawaii 5-0.
Here is the second episode of the first season. Other TV classics available on cbs.com for free are Star Trek: The Original Series, MacGyver, The Twilight Zone, and Melrose Place. But of course.
