I'm sure it was terrible, but I just thought the beach w/ Diamondhead in the background, the aloha shirts & colours everywhere, the thatch, & the overall cheese factor were great! I think that show had a lot to do w/ why I eventually got so into Hawaiiana, Polynesian Pop, & tiki. I would love to see some old episodes of that show...or maybe I'm better off w/ my memories not being jolted by reality. Tiki Chris
