CBS Booking HAWAII FIVE-0 Sequel!! Be There!! Aloha!!
I am – Hercules!!
“Criminal Minds” showrunner Ed Bernero is developing for CBS a new version of nework’s 1968-1980 drama “Hawaii Five-0,” about a fictional state police agency charged with protecting the citizens of the nation’s 50th state.
The new series will center on Steve McGarrett’s son, who has exactly the same job his dad did.
CBS, which is also developing a remake of "The Streets of San Francisco," loves cop shows!
Find all of the Hollywood Reporter’s story on the matter here.
Season Five Shipping Now!!

...the "Mission:Impossible" and "Dragnet" reboots. I guarantee it.
-
Wonder what STAR TREK would've been like had Jack Lord taken that Center Seat?
-
The only places where a son would gain the same position of power as his dad are tiny, backwater towns or filthy little "republics" with iron fisted despots. And I guess that means the US is one of the former. I mean W's dad was head of the CIA (read: secret police) and they both belong to a shady frat. Doesn't that sound like a banana republic?
-
which is why they went with the other guy
-
Why?
-
It was called the second season onward of "Jake and the Fatman" :-P
-
First of all, they made a remake years ago with Gary Busey, but didn't do their research and brought back Chin Ho who had been killed off in an earlier season. So it never aired once they discovered the mistake. The big problem with another remake is, Jack Lord was a true original. He cared about the show and it's quality to the point where he was known as a "stern taskmaster." I don't think you'll find another actor with the grit and personality of Jack Lord to lead the cast. Or the hair! So I issue this warning to CBS......if you screw this up and kill my wonderful memories of this show, I will follow your every step, watch your every move, be close enough that you'll feel my hot breath on the back of your lowlife, non-original thinking, remake happy executive necks until you make that final mistake.........and then I'll slap on the handcuffs, look at James McArthur (who coincidentally, follows me everywhere), and utter those immortal words........BOOK 'EM DANNO.....MURDER ONE! Be there....Aloha!

Almost never, it just doesn't work like that. Following in your father's footstep is a pipe dream dreamt up in the 50's.

and his will probably be Steve McGarrett jr. .....booooooring!
by notgeorgekaplan
I actually enjoy watching reruns of 5-0, but please CBS, don't do this! At least be a little bit more imaginative as making it about the son of someone who does exactly the same thing as his dad.
-
Chin Ho..my memories of Hawaii Five-O
-
that's of course the word, that's missing in the subject of my previous post
-
..Tarzans son (Boy) was also in 5-O but he's grown up and is now a cop..As Boy used to say back in the jungle "Unggawa cocksuckers!"
-
Whats next? Barney Miller Jr? Mannix Jr? The Jr Rockford Files? Come on folks, if you ever watched the show McGarrett was NOT the marrying type! I'd rather see a strong asian actor cast as one of Chin-Ho's bazillion kids grown up and still pissed his dad was killed in the line of duty. Hell I might even go with Dan William's kid but McGarrett jr? No fuckin way!
-
Haiwaii Five-0 meets The Wire: a strongly naturalised view of Honululu, with detailed characterisation, interwoven storylines and epic continuity.
Plus luaus! -
and get shia labouf to play kookie...and please...remake everything, cuz i dont want to have any fond memories of my childhood...so the strike basically killed all creativity in hollywood...here's a good idea for all you budding animators...i dont know who currently owns the property...but look into revamping bakshi's the mighty heroes...if you keep the look, but improve the scripts for a new generation...i guarantee a very long running saturday morning cartoon...

"new and fresh" ideas i hope cbs will pick up in the future
by notgeorgekaplan
how about a new m*a*s*h series with the sons of hawkeye and trapper john, but this time based in iraq? or maybe "Cannon Jr." with michael chiklis as the son frank cannon? but you know that we are definitly in need a new matlock! but now it's his granddaughter who just finished lawschool. no wait! now i have it: murder, she wrote! it's about the neice of jessica fletcher, who incidently is also called jessica fletcher, but she's a computergame-programmer and makes FPS-games! how does that sound? don't forget to give me credit of you ever make any of these shows ;-P
-
Duh-duh duh-duh DUH
-
With shaky cam and 9/11 references?
-
if they just aired the originals.
-
for the Hogan's Heros movie remake
-
CSI: Chigago
CSI: Hawaii
CSI: Dallas
-
Hawaii Five-1?
-
One of the reasons it didnt go forward was due to busey having a tumor found up his nose, after his years of coke usage. That, plus Jack Lords health at the time of the pilot, didnt impress the suits at the time.
-
I wonder if they will keep the old theme which is prob the best thing.
-
not 5-0 not 5-0, tell you what. why not remake the wire with white folks as the main characters. television gold i'm telling you
-
Five OH
Daley's in Chicago -

I mean, seriously...

This will most definitely be crap!!
Will he still say, Book'em Dano? -

-
any other cop shows are just sub-par csi/law&order clone shit.
if its not The Shield, The Wire, or Dexter; who cares. -
Because we can't think of anything original. WTF?
They dumped Big Apple and they dumped Robbery Homicide Division, but they'll do this? -
Do they run afoul of Dog the Bounty Hunter?
-
Jamie Bamber and McGarrett Jr.
Aaron Douglas as Danno
Katie Sackoff as the chick cop Sharon Farrell played
Grace Park as one of Chin Ho's daughters
Alessandro Juliani as a new character- a gay cop -
Did they really cancel Robbery Homicide Division or did Tom Sizemore's drug problem canel it ?
-
My Father's Gay Partner the Ice Cream Truck
-
No need for this.
-
her name is Steffane McGarrett but her close friends call her Stevie. Right now it looks like she will be forming the Five O team with her hand picked detectives after the old Five fell when corruption tainted the organization after Steve died. Her first choice is Danno Jr. who is a Cop who loves surfing and hates to be called Danno. The show will get 13 episodes because of it's name and history but will not get a second season. You read it here first.
-
and we're here to rob your childhood. Now put all you happy TV memories in the bag and nobody move.
-
And kinda dug it.
-
oodles of evil hot bikini clad daughters. Remember when this first came on. Would watch to listen to the opening theme song then switch over to Laugh In.
-
...if Jack Lord's hair rises from the grave, finds it's way on to the head of the CW reject that gets cast as McGarrett Jr. and possesses him.
-
which will jump off his head and chase down perps.
-
I've been watching this show around lunchtime lately. I never saw it as a kid; just knew the theme song and "Book 'em, Danno." I'm a little surprised by some of the plots of the show, like the one where the old man was going to blow up a bunch of youngsters because he wanted people to move his house. But I can't get past that film stock. Yech! Also, a new version of the show would have to work very hard to last longer than a few minutes. I'd hate to think of what else they'll mine just for name recognition. Charles In Charge 3000. In the Heat of the Night: The Next Night. Mr. Ed Forever. Little House on The Prairie: the 20th century. Keep Fighting Back: With David Horowitz, Jr.
-
I'm serious, it is a remake of Five-O. Boss going around interviewing suspects one-on-one. Stupid catch-phrases. THE HAIR and THE STARE!!-----later-----m
-
I can't think of any other reason to make this show.
-
...who was on the original Hawaii 5-0 three times. So suck it.
-
J.J. Armes, the armless private investigator, playing a killer McGarrett put away years ago (didn't do many of those, did they?), destroying his forearms in the process? Armes (Juan Julio Armas) didn't have much to say but, boy, did those hook prosetheses look cool holding a high-powered rifle!
-
...then before you know it...they'll even remake Bionic Woman.
-
The originality is staggering.
-
Wasn't 5-0 just a generic police procedural? I mean why bother without Jack Lords pompador?
-
artie is the perfect size to pull off the cannon remake
-
...or this won't amount to shit.
-
Have the characters still think it is the Late 60's/Seventies. Have everyone/everything else set in 2009. Hilarious antics follow the 5 O team each week.
-
He outdrove McGarrett with those hooks -- in a stick shift no less. It's a classic.
I once heard Five-0 described as "a show that could never live up to the excitement of its own theme song", heh heh. -
...JAMES BOND JR. CHASES SCUUUUUMMMMM! AROUND THE WORLD!
-
I vomit on that damn show and all of its sequels. A better sequel would have and could have been done for MAGNUM PI, but the bright minds at CBS apparently aren't all that bright these days. Dim, energy-saving 40-watt bulbs up top in their little heads, at best. FWIW, a Hawaii Five-0 sequel may generate a little interest with nostalgia fans, but probably not much, and if it looks anything like another CSI, then they can kiss my ass.
-
and he fell in love with his nurse.
That will happen in every episode of the remake series. -
They'll get some flavor of the month hip hop clown to "ghetto up" the theme song.
-
Just got back from Waikiki with the kiddies and showed them the building where Five-O had their offices. I think it's a state building or landmark now. Was talking about how great the series was - one of the best cop shows in history. Best stories, best villians (Wo Fat!), best mysteries. Best fucking cop, McGarrett!
And now I'm sure CBS will fuck this up, because those fucking CSI shows suck the ass of a Hawaiian pig - some of the dumbest stories, worst acting (case in point - Callie on CSI Miami - great looking but that's it) and dumbest subplots.
CBS already is on my shit list anyway for canceling good dramas like Jericho, etc, so I don't expect much out of this. But if they really fuck THIS up, they can burn in hell. -
The episode of "The Jeffersons" where George thought he was a Pulitzer-caliber poet? He wrote "Ode to Hawaii 5-0" starting with the line: "Oh, Lord. Oh, Lord. Oh, Lord. What has happened to Jack?" Still cracks me up!
-
Yep, I put together a hypothetical cast list a few years back for a reboot on one of AICN's friendly competitors. Devin might've taken it down though...
-
Hollywood is nearly bankrupt in the creative department, fantastic. Here's to the Mr. Belvedere update with Ralphie May as the lead, Small Wonder reboot with Jamie Lynn Spears as Vicki the robot, and Tyra Banks' reimagining of Maude.
-
I thought I was the only one who remembered Bakshi's "the Mighty Heroes" -- that's pretty obscure.. Too cool. I'd just be happy if they released the short-lived series to DVD.

Once we have remakes of Leave it to Beaver and Gilligan's Island

...running at the same time, the world will officially end.

In my opinion, that show was just as exciting as the theme song! I don't know the ages of everyone who's posted here but I watched Five-0 from the beginning in 1968 until the end and absolutely loved it. And Jack Lord? Well, his charisma kept us coming back for more as well. I can't think of one single actor today who could live up to Jack Lord's McGarrett persona. No one. Now, I'd like actor Powers Boothe to play the part of either the governor or a WoFat 'clone'. He's an awesome actor. -

Powers Boothe had to be awesome from day one when his parents gave him his powerful name. And guess what...his daughter is hot. He'd have to be a villain though, that's where he shines.
-
It was cheesy good fun, though the crossover with Magnum P.I. was kinda lame.How about a Vega$ remake? RIP Dan Tanna.
-
Also "Extended Family Ties", "Tarnished Silver Spoons", "Untold Tales of the Gold Monkey", "The Facts of Life 2: Electric Boogaloo", "Gene Roddenberry's Widow's Son's Andromeda", "Stargate SG-1: II", Earth 2 Again", "Seaquestier", and "The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd: The Dream Warriors". Thank you.

AfterA.L.F.
-
You know, you are right-Powers Boothe has to be a villain. He plays the best bad guys, doesn't he? His daughter is very cute-I certainly agree with you. He has a good-looking family. What's your favorite PB role?
-
Make the girls wear hardly anything. Have Mrs. Garret be some hottie with loose morals but yet compassion as she teaches the young ladies the facts of life.
-
This is a "high concept" that comes from some unthinking suit trying to combine a recycled past success with 'Dog the Bounty Hunter".
Didn't they make a TV movie sequel with Danno as the lead?
Hawaii 50 was on so long that the network had invested in a lot of equipment in that state. After the show was finally canceled they wanted to do something with that investment. That is how Magnum P.I. was born.
If McGarrett JR. does a temporary blindness episode it would be a lot more surprising and contemporary if the nurse he falls in love with turns out to be a man.
"But, your voice was sooo feminine...!"
"Why, thank you. I worked hard on that, you flirt."
