My husband just pre-ordered Hawaii 5-0, first season (http://www.amazon.com/Hawaii-Five-0-Complete-First-Season/dp/B000LE16VC/sr=1-1/qid=1170761763/ref=pd_bbs_1/105-4853491-5399655?ie=UTF8&s=dvd) from Amazon.com.

My favorite line is actually from the credits: "Kam Fong as Chin Ho". Why did they have to change his name?! :D

Region 1 only :cry:

But it's good to see this classic show is coming out and I hope for Region 2 as well.

If you look up your make of DVD player on t'interweb you should be able to find a hack for it. It usually involves opening the tray while pressing play and standing on one leg and comes without a guarantee, but hey a DVD player's cheap. If you can switch it to region 0 you can watch everything and buy cheap DVDs from the states rather than rip off Britain

There's just something about William Shatner that's not right for a police uniform...somehow, I could never see Capt. Kirk upholding the law, especially given how often he violated the prime directive.

If you were focusing on WS...maybe you need to have your eyes checked as my little 8 year old eyes were on Heather.:rock::rock:

The only thing I don't like about Cops is they don't tell us what sentence the culprit get's; rather annoying !

Actually, I saw it on a T-shirt. I have no idea who originally created it. Because of the space limitations in the sig files I had to shorten it. There should be an "all" after each listing; i.e. "the chefs are all..."

Police Squad was great, I only caught a few episodes of it a long time ago, and they did an advert for something about the same time using Leslie Nielsen and co....and then of course, it lead onto The Naked Gun series...which are great. :up:
