Book 'Em, Danno!
Hawaii Five-O is an American police procedural drama series produced by CBS Productions and Leonard Freeman. Set in Hawaii, the show originally aired for 12 seasons from 1968 to 1980, and continues in reruns. Jack Lord portrayed Detective Lieutenant Steve McGarrett, the head of a special state police task force which was based on an actual unit that existed under martial law in the 1940s. The theme music composed by Morton Stevens became especially popular. Many episodes would end with McGarrett instructing his subordinate to "Book 'em, Danno!", sometimes specifying a charge such as "murder one".
"Hawaii Five-O," created by Leonard Freeman and produced by Leonard Freeman Production in collaboration with CBS Studios, burst onto American television screens in 1968, captivating audiences with its thrilling blend of crime-solving and exotic locales. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Hawaiian islands, the series follows an elite state police unit led by the indomitable Steve McGarrett, portrayed with steely resolve by Jack Lord. The show's title, inspired by the islands' status as the 50th state, cleverly combined the allure of paradise with the gritty realism of police work, setting a new standard for action-packed television dramas. The series was groundbreaking not only for its setting but also for its portrayal of a diverse team of investigators, including the iconic character Danny "Danno" Williams, played by James MacArthur. Their dynamic partnership, underscored by McGarrett's famous line, "Book 'em, Danno," became a cultural touchstone. The show's commitment to showcasing the rich cultural tapestry of Hawaii, from its landscapes to its people, added depth and authenticity, making "Hawaii Five-O" more than just a crime drama—it was a celebration of the Aloha State. Leonard Freeman's vision for "Hawaii Five-O" extended beyond mere entertainment; he sought to highlight social issues and the complexities of law enforcement in a unique setting. Episodes often delved into themes such as corruption, organized crime, and the clash between traditional Hawaiian values and modern influences. This nuanced approach, combined with high-octane action sequences and compelling storytelling, earned the series critical acclaim and a dedicated fanbase that spanned generations. Produced by CBS Studios, "Hawaii Five-O" ran for an impressive 12 seasons, concluding in 1980, and left an indelible mark on the landscape of American television. Its legacy is evident in the successful 2010 reboot, which paid homage to the original while introducing the series to a new audience. The enduring appeal of "Hawaii Five-O" lies in its ability to seamlessly blend action, drama, and the breathtaking beauty of Hawaii, making it a timeless classic in the annals of television history.
