What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the CBS television network, Hawaii Five-0 is a reboot of the original CBS TV show, which ran from 1968 to 1980. The police procedural follows a federalized task force meant to wipe out crime in Hawaii. Detective Steve McGarrett (Alex O’Loughlin) returned to Oahu to investigate his father’s murder but remained to lead the new group with blanket authority and no red tape. The force includes ex-New Jersey cop Detective Danny “Danno” Williams (Scott Caan). A former protégé of McGarrett’s father, Chin Ho Kelly (Daniel Dae Kim) is also on board, as is his beautiful cousin, Kono Kalakaua (Grace Park). Quirky coroner Dr. Max Bergman (Masi Oka), Captain Lou Grover (Chi McBride), and conspiracy theorist Jerry Ortega (Jorge Garcia) round out the team. While they spar and joke among themselves, the teammates are determined to eliminate all seedy elements from the 50th state.

Telly’s Take
While TV shows typically decline as they age, so far Hawaii Five-0 season seven has recovered all the ground it lost last year. It is nearly back to its season five levels. Provided Hawaii Five-0 keeps up its solid performance, it should be renewed for season eight. Star Alex O’Loughlin has indicated the show’s action sequences have taken their toll however. Should CBS renew Hawaii Five-0 for season eight, the actor plans to make it his final season. Overall, I think an eighth season is a relatively safe bet, but wouldn’t expect the show to continue much longer, after that.
3/23 update: Hawaii Five-0 has been renewed for season eight on CBS. Details here.

Love Hawaii Five-O please please please don’t cancel it. Just look at Grey’s Anatomy. It’s still going strong. I know that it has taken it’s toll on the actors especially Alex, but get the stunt men to do their stunts.

CBS has cancelled too many of my favorites an would not go too well with me had they cancelled 5 0. So this is great news. 5-0 goes on, Good call.
All the people complaining about the interactions between Steve and Danny have to realize that that is what MAKES the show. This show was built on their relationship, and yes, their relationship to the rest of the team but it’s heart and soul is the relationship between Steve and Danny. The bickering like an old married couple is adorable and shows just how much they love each other. If you have a problem with two guys showing they love each other – whether you want to see it as a friendship or something more – grow the hell up. There… Read more »
I wish they would get it right, Steve isn’t a detective he’s a naval commander. This is such a great show but there could be a little less of Steve and Danno fighting like an old married couple it gets old after a while.
