Hawaii Five-O - The Fourth Season

Another great season, another great DVD set!
Hawaii Five-0: The Fourth Season delivers more of what we love most about the show in 24 exciting remastered episodes.
All of the episodes are once again digitally remastered, looking very pristine for shows from 1971 that are 37 years old. The only hint of grain is in the occasional piece of stock footage that appears in the episodes.
Despite the now ubiquitous disclaimer on the box, none of the episodes appear to have been cut based on run times and my extensive memory of the shows from VHS tapings.

There is one small change from previous seasons: the discs themselves no longer feature artwork this time around, probably to save on costs. Instead, they are the standard CBS DVD silver with the show logo.

As before, episode promos are included for some of the shows, although fewer than in previous seasons.

This season is one of the very best, with a number of excellent episodes and very few stinkers, if any, in the bunch. In fact, a few of...

Five-O was hitting its stride!
Five-O started before I was born and ended before I really watched much TV. So I was relegated to watching the reruns with my grandfather and my dad. Well, now that the DVDs are out, I can't get enough of this show. It's amazing how good it is still today. Sure some of the dialog is now dated and the stories are very straight forward but that's what is so good about Hawaii Five-O. That and the fact that Steve McGarrett is the coolest cop IN THE WORLD. This season, we start to see some repeating themes from the first 3 seasons and it give the show some continuity and character development. Can't wait for 5 - 12 to be released!

Just keeps getting better and better!
McGarret and his crew are back and the bad guys in the Aloha State had better beware!
Season 4 roars right back with more great crime drama in the tropical paradise of Hawaii.
All the original cast is still here (Kono would leave after this season) and the stories are all great action-packed adventures.
Fans of Five-O won't be disappointed!
And yes, McGarret's arch-nemesis Wo Fat makes an appearance is an exciting two part episode.
There are some continuity flubs with McGarret's big Mercury - he's seen driving off in a 2 door hardtop and arriving on the scene in a 4 door hardtop! Ditto for the ambulance used in several episodes - it magically transforms from a Cadillac into a Pontiac!
Overall, this a well made set with terrific video/audio quality.
Book 'em, Danno!
