Hawaii

While this is network television, I was impressed with some of the acting, some of the writing, most of the scenery, and the comedy.

I watch non network TV 99 percent of the time. It was only the cast that got me interested enough to watch. Not perfect, but better than half of the USA, TNT, FOX, Sci Fi original programming. We should encourage any attempt at good programming on NBC, CBS or ABC. If I see one more Reality show announced, I think that I will barf. The CSI clones are just more of the same. The only other shows that I like are 'The West Wing' and 'Will and Grace'

Bored to Death with 99 percent of Network TV.

Thanks NBC for at least a good start. Keep working on it.

This show is above average, with good strong acting and beautiful scenery. I want to give it more time to develop but one thing is for sure, more Aya Sumika. She's talented, beautiful and will definitely be going places! What else has she been in??

The interplay between the characters is going to take some time to develop, but I hope they try and do something different. Too many shows go for the tired formulas and the unfortunate demise of the very fine Boomtown may discourage producers to be daring. Let's hope Hawaii can rise above being a "guilty pleasure" cop show. Great location ( i Used to live there). Good all around cast. The story lines -- we'll have to wait and see. But these guys are off to a good start. Viva Hawaii.

Many great television shows have been canceled prematurely because the

networks did not give them a chance to find their voice ('My So Called Life', 'Boomtown'). There are still some shows on today that don't have the ratings, but the networks haven't given up on them ('Alias', '24').

Don't rule out this show based on the first few episodes. Many shows find a

LONG life because they were given a shot (look up the history of Seinfeld if you doubt my comments). The networks need to let these new shows find their

niche. This show has some potential. It's got a great cast and a beautiful

setting. Hang in there Hawaii. I'll keep coming back.

I was channel surfing and ran into this show and decided to watch it. I was not disappointed. Good action, some tech stuff, nice scenery (both the landscape and some of the female cops *wink*) and I like the way the writers were able to weave the A & B plots into each other. (one plot supplying info or items to support the other plot) and I felt the writers did a pretty good job of it. And as a bonus, a "C" plot was also thrown in for good measure. It was a shock though to see Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa (normally the heavy in most films) playing the ultimate good guy as Captain Terry Harada. (I kept wanting to tell the other cops "Lookout! That's Shang Tsung from Mortal Kombat! He's Evil!") But it was interesting to see him in a different role. Most of the acting was decent and the plots were interesting and even funny.

I recommend this show to those that like to see several well written tales woven into each other.

"Hawaii" is probably one of the best shows that has been on television in a long time. Now that the ratings for NBC is lower than last year they have decided that it is time to cancel it after 6 or 7 episodes! Come on now. Who makes a decision like that after that few episodes? I recently visited tvtome and it had that it was canceled/ended. Then, I went to NBC.com and it had it returning on December 1st. I am really confused but most of it is anger!! If NBC gave "Hawaii" a REAL chance I believe myself that it would take off and eventually raise ratings. I wish that NBC would get over themselves and put it back on November 3rd at its original time 8 p.m. I think that the last two episodes that were aired were the best ones ever and now they want to give up on it just like that. Please any fans who want to take action on getting this changed please write to them. Thanks and good luck to "Hawaii!"
