Five-O has to intervene to prevent some rich man justice in “We Hang Our Own”. The episode features Leslie Nielsen, the babiest of Bruce Boxleitners, and Perry King once again having an issue with his brother.

Then Five-O has to solve the murder of a man who wasn’t who he seemed in “The Two-Faced Corpse”. Jessica Walters being her usual fabulous self, Sam Elliott with no mustache, but some great lapels, and Abe Vigoda as an old mobster I would die for.

Just look at those lapels.

First Five-O deals with a senator under attack in “Bomb, Bomb, Who’s Got the Bomb?”. I’m issuing a trigger warning for mental illness for the episode. A couple of the scenes can be pretty upsetting.

Then Five-O has to solve the mystery of a dead bank robber and the missing loot in “Right Grave- Wrong Body”. Minor trigger warning for suicide if you’re watching the episode. It’s in spoiler territory, so I don’t discuss it.

Steve sees the fantastic fashion in these episodes and he’s alarmed by the greatness.

Season 7 is still fresh and new and already leaning into the wild.

First, Five-O contends with a clever killer recreating solved murders in “I’ll Kill ’em Again”. I’m issuing a minor trigger warning for suicide if you watch the episode. I don’t mention it in the discussion.

Then Steve and his team take on a deadly fencing operation in “Pay Now- Steal Later”. It’s Casey Kasem in some incredible sport jackets and Ray Danton shirtless. The best of all worlds.

I apologize for the cicadas. They were particularly vocal during the second episode discussion.

A variety of gentlemen in this episode.

Season 7 of Hawaii Five-O and Book ’em, Danno has arrived!

We’re officially on the back half of the series, which is pretty exciting considering I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to stick with it for more than a couple of seasons. Now here we are.

The new season kicks off with a radical group committing mayhem in “The Young Assassins”, and extortion via volcanic eruption in “A Hawaiian Nightmare”. Also my periodic reminders.

I’d made the decision to make the episodes shorter going forward beginning with this season. I failed right out of the gate.

So, enjoy my extra long rambling on Soundcloud, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify.

Let’s have some fun!

Even a shady Sheree North can’t believe what baby Larry Wilcox is getting up to.

Season 6 ends with Five-O tying to catch a brazen thief in “30,000 Rooms and I Have the Key”. It’s a fun one to conclude a season with. Also, I apologize if I offended any Catholics because I called your religion (and possibly you) weird. Some of my best friends are catholic! But your religion is still weird.

Stick around for the season wrap and my unofficial, unnecessary tallies. I know they’re the highlight of every season for you.

We’re officially halfway through the series. It’s kind of hard to believe because it feels like I just started doing this podcast, and I’m also stunned I haven’t gotten distracted and wandered off. I’m also amazed my laziness has yet to sabotage me.

Here’s to the first six. Let’s get going with the last six.

In conclusion, a fashion show.

Season 6 begins to wrap up. Five-O receives an unwanted helping hand in “Mother’s Deadly Helper”. Casey Kasem coming in with some unexpected insights about the penal and justice system, and Anthony Zerbe being the overzealous helper of the title.

And then Steve, Danny, and Duke take a cruise to catch a murderer in “Killer at Sea”. Filmed on a cruise ship. You can tell by the claustrophobically narrow hallways. I have many opinions on cruises. Few of them are good. But this one is a fun sort of whodunnit.

Let’s celebrate a job well done with the fellas.

A murder turns Five-O on to an elaborate gold plot in “Murder with a Golden Touch”. Che Fong gets his Mr. Wizard on and it pleases me.

And then a serial killer rapist is on the loose in “Nightmare in Blue”. Trigger warning for sexual assault for “Nightmare in Blue”. This is a pretty rough one to watch, but it is quite good. Even if I hate all of the men on principle.

There were only a few glitches in this episode, so I’m going to be overly optimistic and decide that my microphone is fine.

Jack Lord was serving in these two episodes. We are blessed.

Both a hitman and Five-O are looking for the same guy in “Secret Witness”. There’s some excellent baby acting here. I’m not super into this episode, but that baby and some Five-O sass send me.

And then a young man with daddy issues is cooking up drugs with a vengeance in “Death with Father”. Trigger warning for suicide both in the episode and in the discussion. This episode marks Jack Lord’s directorial debut for the series and it’s got some sass in it, too.

I apologize for the audio issues in the episode. I don’t know what caused those weird glitches, but I hope I don’t need a new mic.

Not quite matching Aloha outfits, but there’s something to be said about a couple on the same vibe.

The back half of Season 6 continues as Five-O surfs for a hitman in “The Banzai Pipeline”. We’ve got some hot surfing action, Perry King dedicated to open-shirt film making, and Nicholas Hammond declining a shirt at every opportunity. This one was for the ladies, select gentlemen, and certain distinguished folks.

And then Five-O hopes to con a con artist in “One Born Every Minute”. I issued a mild trigger warning for suicide for the episode. You don’t see anything, but we know what happens. I do talk about it in the discussion.

Please enjoy these visual aids from the episodes.

We’re firmly on the backside of Season 6, and when I say it’s all downhill from here, I don’t mean the quality of the show, just my podcast. This episode had to be recorded over two separate days, so the sound quality might be a little wonky. I’m finding new and fun ways to make your listening experience a challenge.

Anyway, Five-O is in search of five cents in “The 100,000 Nickel”. Thanks to Victor Buono, the episode somehow makes coin collecting look dangerous and hip. We’re also gifted with another couple in matching Aloha outfits. Baby, that’s love.

And then Five-O is tasked with tracking down some clever bank robbers hiding in plain sight in “The Flip Side is Death”. I was drinking while recording that episode. Good luck to us all.

Look at this angel face. He could never do anything wrong. But if he did, I’d be first in line to be his henchwoman.
