Hawaii Five-0 series on DVD - Beyond Tiki

Tiki content in the series is rather light: one episode climaxes in the City of Refuge; another has someone murdered by a tiki "war club"; another has drugs being smuggled off the islands in hollowed-out carvings. For me the attraction is more the modern Hawaiian scenery and the way the show reflects the fashions, etc. (esp. Hawaiian/tropical) of those turbulent and change-filled years, 1968-1980. At the time of this posting, the DVD cover art is shown on this comprehensive website: http://www.mjq.net/fiveo/ . Note how the iconic wave corresponds to the iconic hair! Dissertations could be written on such things...
