Does anyone have any updates on how this turned out? The hawaiiandick.com site has expired, and there is no mention of any TV activity in the Wikipedia entry for the comic series. So it appears this got shelved at some point. There must be some more backstory than what I've found on the web. There are lots of reports from back in 2015 when this was being developed and considered by NBC. From "splitsider.com:"

NBC has put a new comedy into development from executive producer Johnny Knoxville. According to Variety, the network is working on an hourlong series based on the Hawaiian Dick graphic novels by B. Clay Moore and Steven Griffin. Written by Paul Lovett and David Elliott (G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra), the series will center on “a Stateside cop named Byrd who is exiled to Hawaii and finds himself immersed in a dark and dangerous paradise. Tropical noir mixes with procedural elements, resulting in both humor and the supernatural.”
