When I was a kid in the 70s I loved this show so much that I wanted to live in Hawaii.

Kam Fong. Maybe one of the first regular characters in a show that was Chinese and wasnt played for laughs or colorful. He was perfect in the role. I absolutely loved this show.

I believe he was a former police officer in real life (Kam Fong). Bruce Lee as Kato in the Green Hornet preceded him about a year or two.

@@tomvu1470 True, though Lee was--you must grant--more than colorful. But you're right in that his being Chinese wasn't really the main or even essential part of his character. Fong was just an ordinary cop who happened to be Chinese. It was normal for an Asian guy to be a cop in Hawaii and the show honored the island's multiculturalism.

Mcgarrett had the 2 fine qualities of a leader ...he instilled the discipline and his men at the highest level and he also inspired them with trust that if they performed the way he told them he would never question them... that's the mark of a great leader to build discipline in those who serve under you and value and act on their intuition based on your training ensures complete loyalty

Chin Ho ROCKS!!!

"Steve, they must be hiding something" "Based on what?" "My gut. 20 years on the job." That's good enough for me too.

Why do they insist with making repeats of classic programmes when all they have to do is put the original back on! Jack Lord was the smoothest man around then.

Chin is the man.

There will only be one Steve McGarrett and Danno Williams played by Jack Lord and James MacArthur respectfully. Please stay indoors during the quarentine. May 17, 2020 @ 11:25 am

Agree that Jack Lord and James MacArthur WERE Steve McGarrett and Danno Williams. We now know though that staying home during the pandemic didn't stop the spread of the virus but it did wreck our economy. We will never let this happen again.

My Boss was a Singaporean many years ago. When Hawaii Five - O was filming in Singapore not mistaken end of 1978, he told us he managed to see Jack Lord upon his his arrival at the Singapore's airport.

jack lord was the best

Does Steve McGarrett makes you think of a imaginary title card from the early 1980s of a video game cartridge called "Mattel Electronics presents Meet The Press"?

sapphiretaurs I Agree I Also Think James MacArthur Is A Good Look'in Man As Well!!!

One thing that was never explained on the show was why Chin Ho Kelly (Kam Fong) had an Irish last name.

What a great episode. Way better than that awful remake.
