Yet again we have another cop show coming to our screens, but instead of a new name and just trying to make a half decent show for what it may be?.  They've gone and used an old TV name (Hawaii Five-O) to sell the show.

Okay so young viewers having nothing to compare it to, so they'll be okay.

But come on, use some imagaination with a fresh name for goodness sake  .

And what's the bet that all the males will be young toned six-packed, with the women looking like they've been born in a beauty saloon!.

So when do we expect a new version of Starskey and Hutch, Hill Street Blues, Car 54, Cannon (diet version no doubt  ), Chips, 240 Robert, ............

It'd be like looking in the mirror for me.

the worst remake for me was knight rider.

just awful.

the thing with shows now is that there is no atmosphere in them.... they try to replace a great show with toned bodies and cute smiles...............................but maybe im getting old.

Do you mean believable story line?

Hey you're right I've just noticed - Cheers

I vote for more US shows with toned, taut female bodies in skimpy clothing and... ohh there I go again.

I never really thought all that much of Hawaii 5-0.  Lovely setting mind, but not much more to it really. 

Now, really original stuff like The Wire, that's honks my horn.

now you're talking - astonishingly good series - just wish we had something half as good instead of all the heartbeat/casualty/the bill rubbish

any yank show is better than the crap the british with there total shite reality shows and cheap budget productions they call entertainment.

i tend to agree - US output is vastly superior Richie (well the good stuff is light years better than ours)

NO!.......most of our TV is awful, but "The thick of it" made up for all of its crimes.The yanks could never make a programme like that.

Nothing wrong with Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes

[bluey]

Along with In The Thick Of It you can also include Red Riding, The Office, The Inbetweeners and Life On Mars, although that's a pretty poor list off the top of my head.  Mad Dogs looks very promising though.

And for all of the sometimes excellent films that come out of the States, I just don't think they could ever make something as brilliant as Withnail and I or Life of Brian either.
