I took a look at the article on Yahoo ("CBS Reboots Hawaii 5-0"). While I like the video montage of the new opening sequence (although the split-second shifting from scene to scene gives me a bit of a headache) the music needs to be drastically changed. I've heard the Hawaii 5-0 theme performed live, and I can tell you that it was not heavy on the guitar. Yes, the Ventures have their version and I'm not knocking it at all, but what I heard emphasized keyboards, horns and drums. It was so good, it gave me goosebumps. To me, this new sequence sounds like a teenage wannabe messing with a guitar in his family's garage.
