Summary: THIS IS ***NOT*** A COMPLETE COLLECTION
Comment: This is not a review of the series, which in my opinion is the greatest Crime Drama ever made. As for the VERY long-awaited DVD release, I've been Very disappointed. Stated in the fine print on the boxes, unfortunately Paramount/CBS decided to offer us an INCOMPLETE (missing episode(s)) and EDITED set. In addition, it's NOT-SO-SHARPLY "remastered". Compared to broadcast recordings, it doesn't appear to be remastered at all to me. I'm sure that Jack Lord, being the perfectionist he was about this show, would NOT approve.
If I like a show enough to want to collect it and to pay hundreds of $$$ for it, I expect a few minimum basic qualities. Those are: EVERY EPISODE, UNEDITED, and digitally remastered at least to the resolution at which it is noticeably clearer than my own recordings. This set is missing all of those essential qualities. So it seems VERY expensive to shell-out ($36 x 12 Seasons == $432) for it when I can record the same thing free. It's kind-of insulting for Paramount to offer an INCOMPLETE SET at that price.
Unless you don't get re-runs (you'd have to live in Mongolia) and you just can't wait to see the edited episodes they chose to include, it may be well worth just waiting another 2 years or so for the inevitable boxed set. Of course, a series this popular, will be offered in a boxed set (and for Half that price) after they've exhausted all the individual season sales, as we've seen every Christmas with even less popular series. Those always include "Previously Unreleased Episodes", "(Complete) Director's Cuts", and "High Resolution Digital Remastering", etc. to compel even those who paid $432 for the individual sets to buy it - Exactly what they're withholding from this set. And they always come packaged in some collectible tin or box. Maybe a die-cast Mercury in this case.

Summary: Hawaii Five-0 Hits its Stride
Comment: Having watched each subsequent Hawaii Five-0 DVD official release since the First Season, this set is really the first one that doesn't come off as being overwhelmingly dated. The plots and execution of most of the episodes in the set compare favorably with the best of contemporary police dramas and the characters interact with ease and familiarity. The only caveat I would offer is a technical one: The fourth episode on disk five seems to have been mastered incorrectly. When I began playing it, I noticed interlacing artifacts whenever there was movement within a frame. I thought it might have been a problem with my equipment, but the other episodes played fine. The nearest I can tell is that the episode was encoded with reversed field dominance that could be corrected by ripping the episode and re-encoding it with an application like Apple's Final Cut.

Filmed entirely on location in Hawaii the show followed Jack Lord as he played Steve McGarrett head of an elite state police unit investigating "organized crime murder assassination attempts foreign agents felonies of every type." James MacArthur played his second-in-command Danny ("Danno") Williams with local actors playing members of the Five-O team.System Requirements:Running Time: 1215 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:Â TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating:Â NR UPC:Â 097368920743 Manufacturer No:Â 892074
