HAWAII FIVE-O SEASON 3 TV DVD REVIEW

A blurb from Paramount about Hawaii Five-O Season 1: Join Steve McGarrett and his heroic Five-O force as they solve crimes, unmask villains and “Book’em” in 24 episodes from the legendary show’s third season.

Hawaii Five-O is back for a third season on DVD! McGarrett and the crew are back to fight crime and international threats to Hawaii. Again like the first 2 seasons, this season has quite a few guest stars such as Eric Braeden before he was on The Young and the Restless and with Diane Muldaur, Martin Sheen, Edward Andrews, Joan Van Ark, Sorrell Booke and Academy Award winning actress Anne Archer in one of her first TV productions. This season also shows the return of McGarrett’s arch nemesis-Wo Fat played wonderfully by Khigh Dhiegh who shows up twice this season and throughout the run of the series and the final episode. There are 24 episodes to this season and some of them are syndication prints and are not uncut. The only “Special Feature” for this set are the original episode promos for the next week’s show except the episodes “Over Fifty?-Steal” and the two 2 part episodes “FOB Honolulu” and “The Grandstand Play”.

VIDEO

The episodes are digitally remastered. Most episodes are uncut. Each episode runs approx 50 mins each.
