CBS goes retro … and I’m a happy man.

My 3 favorite TV shows of all time are 24, Mannix, and Hawaii Five-0.

So, my pulse elevated when I read that next year’s program line-up at CBS includes  a reinvention of Hawaii Five-O,”the tropical police series that was a top-ten CBS program in the early 1970s”.”

Below is a pic of the cast.  Guy on the left must be Danny (originally played by James MacArthur), guy in the middle must be Chin-Ho Kelly (originally played by Kam Fong) and the guy on the right must be Kono (originally played by a dude named Zulu).

Left to right: Scott Caan, Daniel Dae Kim, Alex O’Loughlin and Grace Park in the new ‘Hawaii-Five-O’ series.

But, the cast picture begs two questions:

(1) Where’s McGarrett ?

(2) What’s with the girl ?

All I can say is “Book him, Danno !”
