Harry Guardino...good also in "Trouble in Mind", perfect casting. In "A thousand pardons..." (His line by the way) he has sort hair and he can at least pass for Navy. A few seasons later in "Murder..Eyes Only" he is a Navy officer, but with long hair, sideburns, moustache, ill fitting uniform, the worst casting ever.

Ok, enough with the crickets. So guys/gals, who would you say is your favorite season 2 villain (excluding Wo of course)? Mine has always been Eric Braeden as Dr. Paul Farrar (the best of his 3 performances!!) as the brainwashing professor who hypnotizes his students to commit political assassinations. "A Bullet for McGarrett" is my favorite episode of season 2 (alongside "The Singapore File"). Other standout villains would be Harry Guardino as Sgt. Simms in "A Thousand Pardons -- You're Dead", Albert Paulsen as Charley Bombay in "Just Lucky, I Guess", and of course as previously mentioned David Arkin as Gorge Loman in "Killer Bee". Anyone else?

Hey ringfire...I saw somewhere that an obituary for David Arkin was published in Variety on January 21, 1991 page 95 but you need to be a Variety Digital Subscriber to access the archives. I'm afraid my commitment stops here. I've seen both 1990 and 1991 as the year of death. Looks like 1991 is correct.

there are plenty heiau throughout Hawaii. And the american government has seen fit to come here and obliterate the many luakini heiau (and other heiau) which were (are) seen by kanaka maoli as their own "war memorial" but they are no more. Paved over by tract houses. Multiple freeways. Shopping centers. The state of Hawaii cares very little for recent or ancient history and that which is held in reverence by many.

According to IMDB, Sam Melville died of a heart attack in 1989 at age 52. Hardly as spectacular as some of the other people you mention. Melville got his start in films in 1966, acting under the name of Neville Coward, in a really crappy low-budget soft-core porno movie called A Smell of Honey, a Swallow of Brine (1966). In this film, Melville plays Lowell Carter. He falls in love with the office nymphomaniac who likes to seduce men and then cry "Rape." Sam's character becomes totally obsessed with sex (including some pretty rank S&M fantasies) to the point where he rapes some other woman and is shot dead by her outraged husband!

I agree that Arkin was quite effective as George Loman in "Killer Bee". A very good episode! David Arkin starred in a few high-profile films of the 70s (M*A*S*H, Nashville, All the President's Men) but really didn't do much of anything else. His IMBD credits list is quite short. Anyone have any background info surrounding his suicide? I know that Albert Salmi (who played Vince Ryan in season 3's "The Payoff") also died of suicide and you can find numerous sources of information regarding his murder-suicide. He first killed his wife before taking his own life. It also mentions that he was very frustrated with Hollywood and how actors with great talents get overlooked very often while "celebrities" with no acting talent get the jobs instead. Salmi was suffering from serious depression during the end days of his life.

Watched "Killer Bee" with David Arkin as "George Loomis" the "friend" of a supposedly psychotic Vietnam vet. But we find out that it's "George" who is the real psycho. His character is very dark, very creepy. I was thinking man, this guy is a pretty good actor. So I looked him up on IMDB and it lists his death in 1991 as suicide. Now, I realize that a lot of years had passed between this Five-0 ep and his death, but it was interesting because he was so convincing playing the part of a very troubled person.

Rick, if it's not a Wo Fat line then I give up. Nadja, when I say "villain" I don't mean in the stereotypical James Bond or Batman fashion. I mean the bad guy/gal of the season. You can't seriously tell me that there are no memorable baddies besides Wo Fat and Big Chicken in season 1. What about Andrew Duggan in the pilot, Kevin McCarthy in "Full Fathom", Simon Oakland in "Strangers", Sam Melville in "Tiger/Tail", Montalban in "Samurai", John Larch in "Yesterday Died", Nehemiah Persoff/James Shigeta in "Deathwatch", Ed Flanders in "UpTight", Paul Collins in "One for the Money", Joanne Linville in "Once Upon", Sally Kellerman in "Big Kahuna", Anne Helm in "By the Numbers". All memorable!

Philadelphia, PA USA - Friday, March 20, 2009 at 11:13:58 (PST)
I think aside Woe Fat and Big Chicken there're no really villains in season 1. I like the slugfest between McG and Dr.Fremont from "Once upon a time" but she's no villain in the classical meaning. And I like McGarrett as villain in "The ways of love" ;-)

Rick, that sounds like a Wo Fat line. DeliWaiter, I agree with you about Sam Melville in "Tiger by the Tail" and that great line of his "There's no way, baby, but no WAAAAAYYYYYY!!". Easily the best of his 3 Five-0 performances! I also love the way he progresses from a practical joker to a chilling psycho. Another chilling villain with a rather charming facade was Kevin McCarthy in "Full Fathom Five" -- probably my second fave villain from season 1. But Gavin as "Chicken" is still NUMERO UNO for SEASON UNO!

Newport Beach, CA USA - Friday, March 20, 2009 at 10:34:32 (PST)
The exchange between McG and Big Chicken in "They Painted Daisy's..." is Five-0 at it's best for sure. Good observation about the relatively brief screen time yet a huge impact on the ep. Many Five-0 bad guys played their character over the top, including Gavin Mcleod but it worked beautifully. Maybe because it was the 70's ? ...I think Mike alludes to the sexuality angle in his analysis of "The Box". What about a favorite bad guy other than Wo Fat for the whole series ? I like Ross Martin as Tony Alika in the later eps. I'm gonna think about others... O.K. this might be too easy but, what ep is this from? "Believe me Mr. McGarrett, I would prefer to just kill the woman. But as a reasonable man, you understand that I cannot possibly let you live."
Rick
Newport Beach, CA USA - Friday, March 20, 2009 at 10:31:25 (PST)
My fave 5-O villian from Season One goes to Sam Melville in "Tiger By The Tail" by where I believe he ushers in modern surf slang when he exclaims "there's now way baby, there's...no WAYyyyyyyyyyyyyyy", that he and his pal can be linked to the singer's kidnapping. He really turns from a happy go lucky guy to murderous psycho PDQ, making the adage "friends are the first to screw you over" carry tonnage. Lots of local flavor in this one and fast pace of this particular ep, making it one of the best from the inaugural season. Sam went on to make TV history in the "Rookies"lasting six years throughout the 70's. He died around 1989. Mahalo, Sam and Aloha.

PS, CA USA - Friday, March 20, 2009 at 10:09:56 (PST)
Who is your favorite season 1 villain on the show (excluding Wo Fat)? Mine has to be "Big Chicken" awesomely played by Gavin MacLeod! An Emmy-worthy performance for sure (right alongside Hume Cronyn). It's a shame he only appeared in 2 episodes. He was definitely someone you loved to hate. A slimy dope pusher, as McGarrett called him. There was always something amazing about him -- the way he spoke. The way he pronounced his words. Soft-spoken and smooth at times. Erratic, unpredictable, and down-right ruthless at other times. I loved how the writers gave us only a small sample of him in "And They Painted Daisies on His Coffin" (even in his brief appearance he made quite an impact) but then REALLY delivered his character to us in the electrifying "The Box"! Also, did anyone ever get the impression that his character may have been gay? At times it seemed almost like he was getting off on McGarrett's voice... getting overly excited around such a dominating force as McG! There was a certain feminine aura about him.

Mr. Bernero: Thank you so much for reviving one of my favorite shows, Hawaii Five-O. The things that keep me watching reruns over and over of that show: #1 is the theme song. When you hear first few measures of the music you see the waves of surf in your mind. TV shows now do not have theme songs and I miss that. Who did not associate Dragnet with "dum de dum dum"? #2 is the writing of the show. I especially liked the Hume Cronyn character trying to outsmart McGarrett and the boy who believed the comics were real and that he was protecting Junie Moon. The character of McGarrett was great. I did not like the shows that were toward the end where the young woman cop/love interest was brought in. #3 the actors were suited for their roles and I loved when Helen Hayes guest starred. #4 is catch phrase: "book him Danno". The viewer always waited to say it with Steve. #5 The good guys were good and they stayed good unlike shows of today where the writers delve into the psyche and tell us things we don't want to know. Give us heroes again like McGarrett, the Lone Ranger, Roy Rogers so kids can know how a decent person is supposed to behave. I am a fan of Criminal Minds and I do not want to see Hotchner have a love interest other than his wife. Get them back together and don't have affairs between the characters who work together. It ruins the show.

Hawaii Five-O is one of my favorite shows from the past. The theme music is still the greatest intro music theme for any show I have ever seen or heard..it is exhilarating and got you ready for the show. The only other theme for a tv show that comes close is the one for NCIS.

Rick, had a senior moment. Just now noticed the Pantheon comment. I fully am behnd a campaign to get the place reapportioned towards service once again as an old style watering hole. Bring it back to a semblance of its previous life. Reincarnate it. yes, the basic structure is still there. But it is in imminent danger of being totally, fully redone to the point of unrecognizability. And by 'the powers that be' that ya don't wanna mess with. I mean I am very vocal in the media about alotta things that help destroy our old Hawaii... but when I think; ok the Pantheiion bar... good cause célèbre to get going! But man in this lil state, ya gotta watch out whose toes ya step on. Or I'll be on the experiencing end of the old adage "you'll never work in this town again!"

For those unclear on the concept, this is related to Hawaii. and thus, related to H50, the series. How? We would like to, as mentioned before, see the actors pronounce placenames and Hawaiian words correctly.

Regarding plots -- if someone wants to write plots (which I will link to the episodes with full credit to yourself), then contact me through the link at the top of the main guestbook page. A plot must include details of the story of the show, with no commentary. Any analysis or opinion of the show should not be included.

" intentionally run over pedestrians there" but then again, evidence in the daily papers suggest that may be the case, eh? It is an unfortunate side effect/result of this finite land mass being allowed to get so overdeveloped; Big city crime problems abound. Things seen on a weekly basis we never did before. It is the tailbiting syndrome, seen first hand veritably! Graffitti. vandalism. Too many people driving like it's the mainland. No mo aloha. On da streets. In da markets. In da neighborhoods. yea. Too many pedestrians getting hit. jaywalkers AND legal at the light crossers both!

Yours and his together cover the details nicely. I am really amazed at the vastness of your site. I have read what I thought was a lot of it, but I am constantly finding information I hadn't noticed before. (Like the Reg Jones link) I don't know if I've read 90% of it or 10%. I just keep reading and reading and it never ends. Did you keep track of the hours it took to put this beast together ? (or) Maybe that's a question you don't want to know the answer to.

Nadja et. al Just a quick note perhaps more a clarification and also addressing MJQ's concerns about the site. Firstly, some of us having been coming to this site for a long time-i stumbled across it when i learned of Jack Lord's demise :( so that is just 10 years plus! i went back through the archives and did see what he was alluding to. There was never any open abuse between posters--there was more camaraderie, and yes we focused on Five-O-at that time rumors abound about a movie. There was open discussion and difference of opinion, but not outright abuse. It is not a site about Hawaii per se, but i do see how it factors in the bigger picture, however we need to focus on Five-O. And yes, i care about what Ed thinks because he is a fan and he is at the helm of Five-O 2.0. i care more about what he thinks more than some who wish to merely "nitpick" and provide only a uni-dimensional view. I urge MJQ not to close the guestbook, and intervene from time to time to re-evaluate and re-establish that this is his site for Five-O fans-a labor of love for all! Thank you MJQ-this may be my epitaph on this site.

I've not had the opportunity to walk Chinatown and see it up close. Always more to do than time will allow when we're in the islands. Next time I'm going to make it a priority to spend time there. Lots of Five-0 locations still there (?) I heard the Pantheon is closed but the storefront is still there. Good info. Thanks Kimo.

oh sorry, Rick.: the coffee houses , gift shops and art glleries are the work of local entreprenuers who are working uphill against all odds, (the odd way our local government hates and works against small businesses) and they are all trying to bring back an active safe drug free ( or drug iinexpensive at least) place. day and nite events often... C town is cool in many respects, and ok for that kinda thing. But 'revitalization" has it's side effect. supposedly justified higher rents, no more old turn of the century storefronts, much tighter regulations re; living above your stores...etc. So, the new era of coffee houses and art galleries exist concurrently with quite active open drug dealing day and nite and homeless people living in closed storefronts, sidewalks, parks, etc... I feel for thyem and hand em a sammitch or a couple bux... they are victims of the screwed up situation here. And no one wants to help them and they try to help themselves. Much backstory on that. another time, another place. mahalos for asking!. (It was an element in the old H50, obliquely. But again, the new yawkuh researcher can tellya... etc...)
Kimo
- Monday, March 16, 2009 at 12:50:37 (PST)
Rick, good question... both are actually happening. Homeless problem is growing in Hawaii. Everyone wants to live here. People move here, invest in land and property. Hope their investment appreciates; natives can no longer afford homes in their own land. Many end up living in parks, on beaches, etc. Drug dealing has always gone been active in C town. The media gets wind of a band aid by cop thing. Get rid of parking spaces, drug dealing supposedly goes away. It's all a joke. C town revitalization means nothing. That word is bandied about by politicians to justify their redevelopment, and change for the sake of change in our towns./ C town used to be charming. tenement homes fulla people that never wanted anything but a cheap palace to live. and they had it for a long time. til they ruined/killed it all. Lotta cool old buildings/shops./ They can't leave well enuff alone. screwed it all up and justified it with that dumb word that now means nothing; revitalize. Did it to Waikiki too. It is 'safe", really. I am there many days and nights a week. You just got to know how to handle the place. Locals do. Foreigners, maybe not. But there are still pockets of old Hawaii to be found, places i would recommend H50 redux to employ as location shoots. I am sure a New York 'researcher" who knows every inch of H50, can help Mr. Bernero on that, even tho the East Coast dude apparently has a disdain for each state the further west it is situated. ha.

Hey Kimo, question for you. A few posts back you mentioned Chinatown has changed a lot, and not for the better. The media tells tells two different stories on that subject. I read that it's "revitalized". (which does not appear to be the correct term when referring to an influx of coffee houses and art galleries. I would say that's more gentrification) At the same time I can find articles about an increase in drug deals and the homeless, and that it has become less safe. Hard to believe that both can be true. Which change is the change that is actually happening ?

"I have the Hawaii Five-0 ring tone, I know every inch of "Hawaii-Five-0, no one knows that show like I do."" Ed, Or rather, Mr. Bernero, I would hire that New Yorker posthaste, if I were you!

c'mon, you GOTTA comment on THIS one! - Monday, March 16, 2009 at 09:29:34 (PST)
Ed, I'm a member of the DGA, I have your business manager's contact info through the DGA directory, but wanted to leave you a message on this site since it pertains to the Hawaii Five-O pilot for the new series. If the Five-O pilot for the new series gets picked up by CBS and is greenlighted, I'm interested in working for the show in a consultants role or in a role as a part-time freelance researcher for the scripts. I'm not interested in full-time employment, as I am not a big fan of California, and I'm quite happy with my current employment situation, but I know every inch of "Hawaii-Five-0." I watched every episode of that show in reruns from the time I was 13,in the early 1980's, and like you I have the Hawaii Five-0 ring tone on my cell phone. I want to make sure that you have the correct story tone in the new show if it is still in the works, and the lack of new information has me doubting it's going forward, but believe me, no one knows that show like I do. So, again if you need an extra set of eyes, I have the industry experience and writing experience that will help you make that show correct in tone, style, and character. Again, not looking for a job on the show, or full-time employment, but would like to add my knowledge of that show in a part-time consultant's or research role, just to make sure that your endeavor succeeds. I've been waiting for the new movie or tv version of our show sinec the 1980's and gave up hope that it would happen. I'm emotionally tied to that show for various reasons. Let's do it right and send me an email, we'll talk. My email address is in the Directors Guild of America directory which only members can access. Look forward to hearing from you.

One of Steve's complaints is that people don't bandy about plot ideas for the new show, but that would be foolish. If somebody has a plot they want to submit, why place it here, leaving it out in the open for somebody else to steal? Likewise, no producer is going to look to a website for story ideas, he has a team of professionals for that, besides, if he did take one of the ideas he might be leaving himself open for a lawsuit. If you have some story ideas for the new series, the best thing to do is write the scripts and get an agent(this isn't always necessary - some shows do read spec scripts, but you still have to contact the studio and fill sign a release form). On the other hand, if people want to just play around with story ideas for the hell of it, without any hope of them ever being used, that's something completely different, and might be kind of fun.

I finally pre-ordered Season 6 and can hardly wait for it to arrive. Sadly I must admit I haven't watched all of the other Seasons yet - I've sort of been too busy to even think of watching TV. I'm hoping all of the Seasons will be offered as I'd love to finally get the whole set. I've heard of the other places offering the whole show, but those who I know who did buy them were, for the most, unhappy with them and wish they hadn't spent the time or money getting them as the quality was so poor. For myself...I'll only buy the ones that Amazon are selling.

May I ask a question? Is this guestbook only established for Mr.Bernero? I can understand when people here complain that H50 not always is the subject but the last few weeks everybody is concerned what Mr. Bernero is might be thinking and if this guestbook is any use to Mr. Bernero. Sorry, it's not only to discuss the new H50 what keeps me here but discussing a lot around H50, people, eps, music, Hawaii herself. Okay, sometimes there are things not directly related to the show, but anyway, actually I don't care what Mr. Bernero thinks.

Kimo
- Sunday, March 15, 2009 at 11:13:39 (PST)
When I first stumbled across this site I thought - cool! They're making a new Five-0 and they are asking for input from fans. Though I realize this site is for general discussions regarding H50 as well, I truly expected a constructive forum. But after reading this stuff for the past 3 weeks or so I can only conclude that most - not all - discussions surround certain personalities who insist on unedited posts that rarely have much to do with the subject. I find almost no discussions regarding cast, locations, writing, editing, cinematography, directing, the score (music), possible plot lines or much else that might even be remotely helpful to Ed Bernero (heading up the new Hawaii Five-0) who has actually ASKED US for input. Sad to say most of this looks like instant or text messages that are smarmy, banal and are NON-INCLUSIVE - inside comments for the benefit of one person, not the group. There have been a few (including myself) who have tried to ignore this and come back on topic only to be swatted at for doing so. Too bad. This was a great idea but I doubt Ed is getting much help here. For those of you who have contributed 'on topic' comments - my thanks. They were interesting to read. Good luck.

DeliWaiter, absolutely, I agree 100%. Also, I'm looking forward to season 7 and beyond to release on DVD. Season one through six I pretty much know all the eps by heart, but there are many in the later seasons that I've not seen for a long time. I know there is a lot of interest in Five-0 V2 on this site but 99.9% of my interest is in Five-0 1968-1980.

In my experience web chatter always goes through peaks and valleys when with a little lucid thought it can be avoided. If U never ever take anything personal on the Web, and realize it for what it is, so much electronic flotsam and jetsam, you will always have a pleasant chatting experience, with a few raised eyebrows along the way. If it bugs you, don't read it and move on. That's it, simple. I skip posters all the time I think are silly, and it greatly enhances my web experience. Just my two cents, ALOHA. We over the hump Season 6 soon with 7 to follow and hopefully Season 10 along the way so I will have my personal all-time favorite H50ep "Descent of the Torches" on disc. It will be awesome to play that thru the surround sound as it is one noisy episode. Might even upgrade the Video delivery so when Mc'Gs Helicopter makes it way along the Kona Coast in Act One, I can enjoy it in simulated cinematic glory. That scene and the one where Mahina is reading his lines from a cue-card, not looking at JL directly will be worth the price itself. "Danno, pack a bag and meet me at the Airport, we're going to the Big Island."

Okay, that only would lead in a big discussion about human behavior and good manners, social consciousness etc. But that is a H50 page at last.I have to remind myself sometimes ;-) One last thing to the subject as I recall everything was fine until Mr.Hedges took action. And I can only assume because his part here was taken over.

Berlin, - Sunday, March 15, 2009 at 08:53:35 (PST)
Thin-skinned? Um, no. It isn't thin-skinned to be put off by an unnecessarily sarcastic and insulting attitude. Now, believe me, I'm over the whole Kimo thing myself, I accept his posts for what they are, and have even come to(dare I say it) appreciate them, but I don't think it's helpful for someone to adopt an attitude of, "Oh, you're just too thin-skinned to take it." I don't listen to Howard Stern, someone might say it's because I'm thin-skinned, I like to think it's because I have good taste. Now, I don't mean to compare Kimo to Howard Stern, as I've said, I've grown accustomed to his posts and he seems like a pretty decent guy, the fact is, we live in a culture where irreverence is no longer irreverent because it's become the norm. Watch your average sitcom, it's just a bunch of people making fun of each other, with no heart, no soul. When Seinfeld and the Simpsons did the irreverent thing it was fresh and funny, now it's just lazy and mundane. Calling somebody thin-skinned because they don't like to be insulted by a stranger is, I'm afraid, just a symptom of this culture of ours, how it celebrates rampant incivility. Sorry to get on my sociology soapbox, but this is a personal pet peeve of mine. I understand where Kimo is coming from, but I understand where his detractors are coming from as well...hell, I used to be one of them!

Ray, that was a great comment. Thank you for it. My English is very limited and so I'm not really able to say these things so precisely. That makes my statements very short but I hope graspable. Kimo, I'd like it very much to do that tour with you and Ray. I'm in Honolulu the entire October, five weeks actually. And I really hope we find a way. To the thin-skinned people out there. If you like H50 so much you should be accustomed to tougher tones and know that behind that is still a sense of acceptance and affection.

I'll try to hook us up so we get an inside look at Iolani Palace and the location where the office was supposed to be situated. Many of the usual things any kama'aina taxi driver can show ya. and some lost and hidden H50 spots... can't give em all away. Gotta save some for the DVD!

Am a bit fatigued from a trip from Geneva, but want to chime in on the Kimo controversy. I am kind of a newbie, and I was one of a few I guess who initially got my feathers ruffled and had the wrong impression of Kimo, due in no small part to my own misunderstanding of the man and my own sensitivity. I agree with Nadja -- I can learn a lot from Kimo, because of his enormous pride and love for Hawaiian culture, which I respect, and want to know more about...I guess that's why I got hooked on H5O years ago -- that, along with my memories of flying in and out of Hickam AFB as a young AF vet years ago. As an airline pilot today, I never get tired of flying to the islands, and I am usually first among the crew to get out there and hit the ground running right after touchdown. I always feel welcomed with the ever prevalent spirit of Aloha whenever I'm in town...which is why I look forward to downing some Mai Tais with Kimo in the near future. Kimo may dish it out, but I have noticed that he has no problem taking it on the chin as well. I think Mike has offered us a fantastic forum for camaraderie and shared knowledge, and I would hate to see it get shut down. We should take into consideration the unusual context of this forum when engaged in a verbal battle of wits . If we all were to meet in person, I am sure none of us would address each other in anything other than mutual respect. It's the veil of anonymity and geographic separation that encourages an unbridled sense of spontaneity between us. That leads to occasional outbursts of careless innuendo and unintended offense. Let's just work on developing some think skin..I have no intention of leaving this site, because of some perceived slight...I hope some of you who may feel offended or burned out will not either. We can learn much from one another. btw Kimo, how's that research project coming concerning Liz Logue? lol...I had a feeling that only Five-O could solve that mystery. Best, Ray

Kimo, thanks for your reply. I really did not delete a lot of your postings, and if anyone is interested, they are (almost all) not "deleted," but merely commented out and still visible in the source code for the pages, if you know how to look at that stuff. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to do any more such editing, and, as people might have noticed, I have abandoned the idea of allowing paragraphs, because I got fed up having to do further modifications on the pages as a result of this. (The guestbook format also allows the use of HTML -- forget about that!) As well, I have just noticed that the time stamp on messages is wrong (it is Pacific Standard Time whereas it should be Daylight Saving Time). Not much I can do about this, I'll have to talk to the system admin at the place where I work.

don't , taze me bro! - Saturday, March 14, 2009 at 12:05:43 (PST)
Kimo, I did not tell that poster complaining about the bootleg DVDs he purchased that "BOY, YOU ARE STUPID." I merely questioned why he would order the same thing (his exact words were "the same box set") from another company if he found the first set was bad. I don't know exactly what he means by "dvdplanit," because dvdplanet.com looks like a legitimate company. On the other hand, if you do a Google search for "dvd planet.org" (note the space), you will find numerous complaints about this company ripping people off. But the actual WWW site dvdplanet.org doesn't exist now except as a redirection site for other WWW sites.Let's face it, if you order a legitimate set of Five-O DVDs from amazon.com and it turns out the quality is "bad," why would you then turn around and order them from Barnes and Noble unless you believed in some kind of conspiracy theory that amazon.com purposely sold defective merchandise (I have actually heard this kind of theory many years ago in relation to certain Vancouver record stores).
You don't have to check out the FAQ on my site to learn that Five-O bootlegs are mediocre quality. There is this amazing thing called "Google," where you can look up information like this.
Anyway, Kimo, I find it rather ironic that you are taking me to task for this one comment, when we have to continually put up with your nitpicky attacks on contributors here. No wonder many of the first time posters never bother to come back.
I would really appreciate it if you would moderate your contributions to the guestbook, or I will have to move the format to a "moderated" one, where I have to approve everything that is posted (which will rob the guestbook of its spontaneity). I am not looking forward to doing this, since I consider it to be a huge pain in the ass, so it is more likely that I will just close down the guestbook, period.

It is not correct that Ed Bernero has not been back since his initial posting on August 31 of last year. He posted on September 15, September 16 and November 29. His last message suggested he is just a bit busy. By the way, I have added links to all of the guestbook archived pages (which are reachable via the link at the top of this page) so you can more easily jump around from one month to another.

I'm not referring to your recent bit of comic relief for Mr. Mike. I'm talking about your last several months worth of entries in this guestbook overall. All the way back to some of your earliest posts in fact. There is a thing called Internet etiquette, or netiquette, that nearly everyone on here exercises. My pointing out the obvious is not being negative. What's negative is the feeling I get when I drop by this guestbook on my lunch break to read comments from people that love my favorite cop show. Until now, I didn't submit comments. For me it was always fun to just sit back and read. But these days you have this entire thread peppered with rude and disrespectful remarks that are directed (specifically with quotes) at people who just want to voice their opinion. Unlike yourself, they are not targeting anyone in particular. You do not own Hawaii, it native language, its landmarks, its people, or the rights to Mr. Bernero's new TV series. Is it any wonder that Ed has never been back to this guestbook? I think not.

Why would you order "the same box set" from another company? The first one was crappy, why would the second one be any better? I have never ordered or seen any of these box sets, but I have had people e-mail about their experiences with them. They have reported these DVDs are mediocre in quality and the WWW sites selling them leave a lot to be desired as far as customer service is concerned. (You could have read this in the QuickFAQ on the main page here.) The bottom line is: you get what you pay for. I have noticed a lot of these bootleg DVD sites are now dumping the Five-O box sets for as low as $39.95, probably because the legitimate release of the series is soon up to the halfway point. Considering the DVDs are probably double layer (if they are not, then the quality will be VERY bad), and the cheapest double layer discs are around 50 cents each, and a typical box set contains something like 29 discs, they are not making a lot of money, considering the discs cost around $15 and then there is the time involved to make the discs.

Every guestbook and bulletin board perpetuates in different opinions and sentiments. Otherwise it becomes stale and boring. So I see Kimo as an great enrichment to this board. And if one dissents from him (which includes me sometimes), it's alright, stand up to him, take the challenge... I like it and I think it's interesting :-)

Kimo-actually has toned down tremendously...i think it unwise that we call it his site. It is and will be MJQ's. Yes, i am pulling for Kimo.,phew--life is too short my friend! As for Five-O-i hope it happens sooner than later, but CBS is CBS (Cool But Slow) i think ED can capture the flavor and also "update where it felt right!" Ed has written a few CM episodes, that were VERY Five-O-esque. It needs a strong, cool lead Mr. Hedges, it is sad that you "painted all with the same black brush", but Ed DID visit again after you left. i quite enjoyed your posts, but they did get a little excessive and cheesy, although it is sad because they started off as very good.

But please be aware there are always different views and sentiments and everybody should have the freedom to express it, just as you did, but that's what it makes interesting here IMHO.

I think Mr. Bernero would be interested in reading most of Kimo's postings -- after all, they are actually about Hawaii -- rather than enduring Hedges' constant attempts to ingratiate himself and his Five-O "script" (not to mention Hedges' tales of woe about how he was mistreated by the Hollywood community over some Star Trek submission).

The recent climate on the MJQ homepage has become cold and unwelcoming- In light of this I have decided to make my last posting on the site. I should imagine that Ed Bernero has had similiar feelings and maybe that is why he has not returned to the site. In Hawaii, Aloha means both Hello and Goodbye- consider this the later. I have decided to leave the rest of you to bicker amongst yourselves.
