Perhaps better known for its theme music than its characters, Hawaii
Five-O is one creation that seems to never die.
The main characters were Steve McGarrett, head of an elite state
police unit investigating all sorts of nasty goings on, and James
MacArthur his second-in-command Danny 'Danno' Williams.
The show was primarily shot on location in Hawaii (funny that) and
the scenery and groovy beach backdrops were said to be a large factor
in attracting the loyal audience.
