I still watch this show every week and consider it a guilty pleasure. Sure, it's predictable (chat scene in the car, chase scene, bad guys hate kids, good guys love kids) and the acting is not fantastic (every time someone takes in emotional dialogue they take a quick look away from the person before responding- every time!) but my expectations for this kind of show are low. And the original show was no masterpiece. Anyhow, it's just simple fun, a like the scenery and try to find tiki.

That's where you are wrong. The original was a masterpiece, as far as making every effort to turn out a good production goes. The cast on the original dealt with emotions better than the new cast did. They weren't phony and didn't look away from the other person before responding. No TV show in the history of television was ever perfect, but some came close. The original Hawaii Five-O was one of them.
