Technically Hawaii 5-0 is already not Tiki, because unlike in the Hawaiian Eye series, the Polynesian part was downplayed, and corny clichees and tourist locations were avoided, to make it more "real". There are single episodes that are an exception, yet generally Hawaii 5-0 is marked by the ABSENCE of Tiki. Not to say that the title track is one of the all time surf sound greats... But if I consider Hawaii 5-0 not Tiki anymore, then MAGNUM is certainly NOT Tiki, I mean just look at it (shudder). But I for one do not see Don Ho as being part of Tiki style, either.
