Alex O'Loughlin and Daniel Dae Kim were at the Honolulu Capitol building Thursday to be honored by state lawmakers. The Hawaii Five-0 cast and crew were recognized for their continued contribution to the state's economy and tourism industry. Other popular shows and movies have packed up and headed to the islands. The entire cast of Cougar Town slipped into swimsuits for their upcoming season finale and last year Modern Family took over Waikiki to film their tropical vacation. Rihanna, Alexander Skarsgard, and Brooklyn Decker set sail for warmer weather when they invaded the beach for a few weeks last Summer during the filming of Battleship.

Pilot Scoop: Hawaii Five-0

BuzzSugar — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 15:30:22 PDT

I've been picking apart Fall's TV offerings by reviewing each of the brand-new pilots. Today's pick takes us to the tropics for the cop drama reboot Hawaii Five-0.

What it's about: Former Navy lieutenant Steve McGarrett (Alex O'Loughlin) returns to Hawaii to investigate his father's murder. He takes the position as the head of a new police team, partnered with newbie Danny Williams (Scott Caan). Straitlaced McGarrett and wisecracking single dad Caan butt heads at first, but quickly realize that they work well together with their forces combined. Rounding out their team is local resident Chin Ho Kelly (Daniel Dae Kim) and his kickass cousin Kono (Grace Park). After cracking their first case together, they're already a family.

Where it works: The show may be a reboot, but you'd never be able to tell (other than the iconic theme song, of course); the show is fresh, fast-paced, and has an interesting hodge-podge of likable characters. O'Loughlin is a bit stiff but boy is he easy on the eyes, and his buddy chemistry with Scott Caan couldn't be better. Of course the gorgeous scenery doesn't hurt either.

Where it doesn't: The guys succeed in capturing their first bad guy by the end of the episode, and I assume there won't be a ton of continuity from one episode to the next. With so many other cop dramas out there, it might be hard to get viewers addicted to a show that doesn't require weekly viewings.

Am I hooked? l'll definitely be coming back for more, but I do fear that the episodes may end up at the bottom of my DVR list.

Hawaii Five-0 Brings Lots of Theme Song Talk, Leis to the TCA

BuzzSugar — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 15:45:45 PDT

The TCA is underway with today's CBS panels, and there's no question that the network's new heavy hitter is Hawaii Five-0. Alex O'Loughlin and Scott Caan (aka the new McGarrett and Danno) took the stage, though the critics were a lot more curious about staying true to the original signature theme song.

First things first: the showrunners and cast want to make it abundantly clear that this is a reboot. Not a remake, not a sequel, but a reboot, meaning that they aren't picking up where the original left off, and they are taking some creative liberties and putting a fresh spin on the old favorite (which apparently means it's not a remake).
As for researching for their roles, Scott Caan said he wanted to start fresh with the new script but Alex O'Loughlin did a little digging, and remembers the show from his youth.
Speaking of O'Loughlin, he's really hoping that his latest venture will be a hit after a string of failed TV shows. He said, "There's a reason things work or don't work on television, and I don't know what the answer is, I just keep wandering on and hoping..." However, it does sound like he's got confidence in the new series: "If this one doesn't go, I'm completely bewildered. I have no idea how television works at all."
Caan, on the other hand, spent some time contemplating whether he was ready to make the switch to TV after mostly doing movies. He quipped: "I think I do better work on this than what I'd done in the last 10 years in movies."
