WHAT ? That's actually not true.
Season 2 has an episode shot in the Bishop Museum, "King Kamehaha Blues" . There are tikis in that episode.

Jim read the fine print: ".....shot after the heyday of Tiki, AS GOOD AS no Tikis to be seen in over 200 episodes..."

There also was an episode where a Tiki was the murder weapon. Do these and and a few other exceptions among 278 (!) episodes, and the absence of any Tiki imagery in its titles, make it a "Tiki style" show? No, the heyday of Tiki was over, it was deemed "in-authentic" and politically incorrect, especially on a show that claimed to portray the true, on location Hawaii.
