Hawaii

I am not, in general, a fan of "cop" shows. I decided to give Hawaii a shot, however, and it has proved worth my while. I have watched from episode one, and the show consistently earns my respect with plots and development of the characters in each episode. It does not waste any time explaining who each character is in every episode and assumes the intelligence of it's audience to be able to keep up with the quick pace of the show. I hope NBC continues to nurture this show and give it time to find it's niche and audience. It is well worth the time, and I and my family devote ours to watching it every week. It is excellent as is, and can only get better with time.

Well, I wasn't expecting Hawaii Five-0 but I did expect a decent cop show there with themes of the 21st century. This looks like Miami Vice action with better scenery. I didn't like Miami Vice and it is too early with one episode seen to make my final time slot decision. It is not the characters that are lacking. It is the storyline or lack there of. It was the pilot so you would expect the best. Another cop with a prize possession of a somewhat vintage car. Starsky & Hutch? CHiPs? How hard was this setup? Good cast so far and beautiful location for the show. This might work with some medium tweaking but it is an NBC cop show (doomed) and with a must have good viewer numbers rating needed within the first two to four shows, can they put it all together? …And hey, if you're going to have a commercial every 3 ½ minutes for 5 minutes is it really worth your time? The 50% commercial time for prime time TV shows has many tuning out all together. Good luck producers. Pull up!

The title, "Hawaii", drew my attention to this possibly new TV Series and I was looking forward to something new, refreshing and entertaining. There was lots of nice scenery of Hawaii and the film was filled with heads being cut off, sharks teeth the weapon, even a short clip of two cops naked in a antique bathtub, a kidnapping and everything but the kitchen sink shoved into the 60 minutes of boredom! Michael Biehn(Max Harrison),"Cherry Falls",2000 gave a convincing performance and newcomer, Dekoda Adams(B DelaCruz) gave a great supporting role. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with this first showing of the series and hopefully it will improve. There was even some COMEDY in this FILM!

"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!"

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.
