Hawaii Five-O (1968-1980)

Hawaii Five-O was an American crime series that aired on CBS for 12 seasons from 1968 to 1980. The series centered around a Hawaii state police force known as "Five-0" led by Steve McGarrett (Jack Lord) as they investigated major crimes in the 50th state. The series was the first to be filmed almost entirely in the state of Hawaii. A television series remake would begin airing on CBS in 2010.
