By David Lambert - Mike J. Quigley's MJQ.net/FiveO fan site has scored another coup for fans of the classic Jack Lord series. The Hawaii Five-O website now says: 'SEASON EIGHT - COMING MARCH 16TH, 2010!'... (more)
What could be scarier for Halloween than Sammy Davis Jr. singing the theme from the MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW? Love is all around, baby. If that hasn't curdled your blood, listen to Sammy sing the theme from HAWAII FIVE-O.
Recommended It's business as usual as CBS/Paramount ponies up another round of Hawaii Five-O , with The Seventh Season debuting this month. Series star Jack Lord looks increasingly cadaverous, Kam Fong (Chin Ho Kelly) seems to be losing weight while James MacArthur's (Danno) callow youth is slowly giving way to middle-age. Otherwise, it's more of the same. The best episodes of the program's seventh...
Tonight I caught up with a new-to-me John Wayne movie, BIG JIM McLAIN. Wayne plays the title character, a HUAC investigator hunting Communists in Hawaii along with James Arness. In his free time, Jim romances a lovely widow (Nancy Olson) and tours some of the islands' beautiful sights. The movie -- which struck me as something of a precursor to HAWAII FIVE-O -- is a fascinating snapshot of its era...

It's hard to believe that Columbus, OH garage rockers (and our favorite band named after a font) Times New Viking have managed to make a career out of making ultra-lo-fi noise recordings. But the band have built up a sizable following and are braced to unleash their fourth full length album, Born Again Revisited , on September 22nd. Don't expect many new tricks out of the trio, this album is pretty...
R.I.P. Joseph Wiseman The Associated Press reports (via Yahoo ) that Joseph Wiseman, the actor who played Dr. No, has passed away at the age of 91. I've always felt that Wiseman is too often overlooked for his lasting contribution to the James Bond legacy. He was later overshadowed by flashier villains like Gert Frobe's Auric Goldfinger and Donald Pleasence's Ernst Stavro Blofeld, but with Dr. Julius...
[ed. note: so, yeah, my new job has been keeping me incredibly busy so the DVD Tuesday column has slipped to Wednesday for a second consecutive week. I apologize to my one, true fan who logs in every Tuesday at two o'clock to read my blurbs. I know I have at least one fan because -- yes -- he writes to me and tells me how funny he thinks I am. I love him. He is incredibly smart.] Great to see Stephen...

CSI: New York executive producer Peter Lenkov had the idea for a new take on the classic television show Hawaii Five-O. As CSI Files previously reported, Lenkov worked with Star Trek writers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci to pitch the idea for the new version of Five-O. “[Peter] brought the idea to us,” Kurtzman said. “He [...]
I somehow missed the videos from “Thomas Paine” that went viral a few months ago. I rather like these and I find it hilarious that the guy portraying Paine is a former actor from the 70s Hawaii Five-O TV show! While this video is addressed to President Obama, what I find interesting about it is [...]
