Why not change the articles name to Hawaii Five-0 (2010 series)?-- Klltr ( talk) 11:45, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
There was never an on-screen explanation given for the name of the Five-O task force in the original series, but in the re-imagining the team clearly bases their name on McGarrett's high school football jersey number "50". This occurs at the end of episode 3. Therefore it makes sense for the new series to be Five-0 (which also avoids anyone calling the show "Hawaii Fifty" :P Jake fuersturm ( talk) 23:35, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

I don't think most readers are going to know what a "showrunner" is. I also think most people will trip over "script" when it's used as a verb.

I'm a little perplexed by Grace Park's character's name. Some places I see it as Kono, and others cheekily as Kona. I was about to correct it on one page, but then I see "...Chin's cousin, a rookie cop nicknamed Kono." on the main page. Was there an introduction or explanation of a nickname ever?

Kono is her nickname and Kona is her birth name! -- 88.111.113.78 ( talk) 17:10, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
Does this show really come under the category of 'procedural'? The show has just premiered here and in the hype, Alex O'L said that audiences were getting tired of procedurals. It seems they kill more people in the pilot episode (and beat suspects during interview time) than an entire season of the original. Maybe 'procedural' should be replaced with 'police action show'? Foofbun ( talk) 22:21, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
The listing of cast members shows Kono to hold the title/rank of Detective. My understanding is that most local police forces in the U.S. require their officers to have at least several years of experience before being eligible for appointment as a Detective, and Kono is clearly a rookie. Is there an on-screen source that settles this? Jake fuersturm ( talk) 00:17, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
Many of the Hawaiian titles have ʻokinas. CBS uses them as apostropes, however that is not correct. To insert an ʻokina, you simply type okina between TWO SETS {{ }}. Remember that Oʻahu has an ʻokina. However although it is more correct to say "Hawaiʻi" as the English language has fully absorbed Hawaii without the ʻokina, I think we should leave it out in the word Hawaii. Also don't forget the ʻokinas at the beginning of a word such as ʻOhana.
Lilly ( talk) 05:21, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
Outside of the "wiki" context, however, plenty of programs have difficulty with the "okina" (glottal stop) character. I tried copying a name with such a character [under WinXP] and it was replaced by a box (geta?) symbol. I can also see search engines having difficulty with them, though in truth search engines *also* would choke on apostrophes. [As an example of apostrophes causing trouble, try a search for an Irish name like O'Connor or O'Reilly.] I fixed these symbols for some entries in the "Featured Songs" table and corrected some other flaws, but I simply copied the "okinas" from other rows to ensure consistency -- it is easier.

I just watched my first episode of this series. I couldn't help noticing the blatant product placement. At least a couple of characters have brand new Chevys. Apparently they just went to the market when the episode originally aired. I think there also was showcasing of an LG mobile phone with Windows Phone 7.5. Some googling also revealed a clip where Subway meals are clearly advertised. Should product placement be mentioned in the article on this show? It's clear, unavoidable and very visible. Ristipiste 21:19, 2 June 2012 UTC
Both the original series and this one have agreements with various companies for product placement. Most notably for the original series they had an agreement with Ford that lasted the full run. The product placement should be noted in the article somewhere, but this show is not the only one with blatant product placement. Just about any series on network or cable TV has numerous product placements in each episode. The more high profile the location and/or the cast members are, the higher the number of product placements. Films have also been infiltrated with product placements.

+1 for mentioning this in the article. I have never seen so many Microsoft products featuring so prominently in one single series or movie. Most other series use made-up interfaces, some obviously had a helping hand in props selection from Cupertino, but Five-0 takes it to a level nothing short of ridiculous. An almost paramilitary special unit that routinely exchanges sensitive data with the CIA, the Navy and other agencies uploads case documents to SkyDrive and coordinates via Windows Live Messenger?

The 'current' governor -- Samuel "Sam" Denning -- is played by Richard T. Jones; no problem there. However, during the original series' run, the governor -- Paul Jameson -- was played by Richard Denning. Is it possible that the 'current' governor's last name is a homage to the actor who played the governor in the original series? (Yes, I know Richard Denning did not play the governor in the very first episode of the original series, but he played him after that for the rest of the series.) 68.2.115.99 ( talk) 00:46, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

Is this a remake of the 1960's show or a "Next Generation" of the Show, McGarrett's dad might be played by another actor, due to the death of Jack Lord, but McGarrett's dad seems to have the same history as the 1960's McGarrett 156.33.241.9 ( talk) 01:10, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
This is a "reboot". In this series' universe, there was NOT a previous incarnation of 5-O. I think the history similarity of the current McGarrett's father to Lord's character is more of an homage to the original series. 68.2.115.99 ( talk) 00:33, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

The article for this TV series has a peculiar structure. The usual way that TV series articles are structured is including a separate Plot section after the introduction, which gives a more or less detailed overview of the complete story so far (until the currently last aired episode). Instead here what is supposed to be in a Plot section is actually in the Episodes section. I discovered this while looking for the plot of the series in this article and it took me some time to find it. My suggestion is to re-work the episodes section by leaving some of the text there such as how each episode is structured but move the rest to a new section called Plot as mentioned above in order to improve omho greatly the readability and overall structure of the article.-- 95.113.251.84 ( talk) 18:43, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

Whyedithere has been removing the character descriptions from the article after creating List of Hawaii Five-0 characters. He was quite correctly reverted the first time by Brianis19, [3] and I've reverted him twice. I've explained to him on his talk page that when character articles are created, we don't just delete all the content from the main series article. Basic descriptions should still be present, in prose form as explained in WP:TVCAST. Tables, such as the one that exists in this article, have been discussed at WT:TV and received no support at all for inclusion in the main article, and should be moved to the character article, or deleted entirely. He has copied the character descriptions in List of Hawaii Five-0 characters from this article but has not provided the attribution required in both the source article (this one) and the destination article (the character article), per Wikipedia's licensing requirements which are explained in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.
