No.1

Hawaii Five-0

(2010-present)

New or old? Many Facebook ohana voters simply could not decide. Consequently, they voted for both the original series and the currently airing re-imagined police procedural drama. Another batch of voters, however, decisively opted for the new version, which is our Facebook ohana’s top pick among filmed-in-Hawaii TV shows.

Now booked for a third season, we’ll surely be seeing more Hawaii Five-0 filming around Oahu in months ahead featuring the rule-bending Steve McGarrett (Alex O’Loughlin) and the rest of the Five-0 team — Danny “Danno” Williams (Scott Caan), Kona “Kono” Kalakaua (Grace Park) and Chin Ho Kelly (Daniel Dae Kim). In addition to the show’s primary cast (pictured, above) and regulars, such as Dr. Max Bergman (Masi Oka), the sophomore season has featured cameo roles for some well known actors, such as Ed Asner, who reprised a role he played more than 30 years ago on the original series, and James Caan, whose son plays “Danno” in the new series.
