One West Waikiki

This was a great show that had all the right elements. Great settings, beautiful weather and an extremely good looking Cheryl Ladd combined with a really fine Richard Burgi as the two stars. All this was combined with interesting and exiting plots and fine background music.

It was a shame for all human kind they cancelled it, never ever had all these elements worked so well together. One West Waikikii gave me high quality standard entertainment that surpasses other great T.V shows.

I didn't find out about One West Waikiki until after it was already canceled and showing in reruns. This was a great show that wasn't given a chance. I would like to see it brought back with the same cast. I also had the pleasure of visiting Hawaii and saw many of the locations used on the show. I am also wondering where the location was for the building known as One West Waikiki. My brother thinks that the exterior shot was filmed at Kapiolani Park. I think my favorite episode was "Kingmare on Night St." which was the episode of Holli's dream. Another one of my favorite episodes was the one with Doug McClure. Kimo Kahoano was great as the professor. I hope someday this series will be shown again, revived with the same cast, or released on DVD.

They're showing this on Get TV now. Just caught the first episode today. Excellent episode and will continue watching. Love Cheryl Ladd in this and all of the other characters are great, too. Gorgeous scenery. Opened with the beautiful Hawaiian song, "I'll Remember You." That song brings me to tears.

I was at a phase where I was watching lots of shows filmed in Hawaii but I never got into lost because it supposed to represent another island or the jungle. Anyway, I liked Cheryl Ladd in this role and Richard Burgi who is better known to us as Carl, the former husband of Teri Hatcher's character Susan on Desperate Housewives. I liked the show for the scenery, story lines, and guest characters. I don't know why we don't utilize Hawaii's beauty to film television shows and movies. It was shown on Lifetime for awhile but it's gotten lost in the mix along the way. I still would love to go to Hawaii. I guess it's Paradise on earth and I would like to get there someday.

For those who are enjoying "Crossing Jordan" there was an equally good show which was almost exactly the same except shot in Hawaii. Yes "One West Waikiki" starring Cheryl Ladd was an excellent example of showing good acting with excellent locations and reasonable plots. Fast forward seven years and lo and behold NBC schedule "Crossing Jordan" a copycat of "One West Waikiki" without the beautiful scenery...go figure.
