90-468: The Ilikai is also well known, outside of Honolulu travelers and residents, for appearing prominently in the opening credits of the long running TV series Hawaii Five-O . The show's star, Jack Lord , is standing on the Ilikai penthouse balcony as the camera dramatically zooms in on him. This same sequence is used in the opening credits of the 2010 remake , with Alex O'Loughlin replacing Lord. The Ilikai

180-613: A "typical" show of the time which would be shot largely on sound stages and backlots . It is also remembered for its unusual setting during a time when most crime dramas of the era were set in or around the Los Angeles or New York City areas. The Hawaii-based television show Magnum, P.I. was created after Hawaii Five-O ended its run, in order to make further use of the expensive production facilities created there for Five-O . The first few Magnum P.I. episodes made direct references to Five-O , suggesting that it takes place in

270-630: A bit of Williams' back story. Sources differ on how the show came to be. Producer Leonard Freeman moved to Hawaiʻi to recuperate after suffering a heart attack. One source states the idea for the show may have come from a conversation Freeman had with Hawaiʻi's then-Governor John A. Burns . Another source instead claims that Freeman wanted to set a show in San Pedro, Los Angeles, California until his friend Richard Boone convinced him to shoot it entirely in Hawaiʻi. A third source claims Freeman discussed

360-590: A character introduced in the fifth season. Other criminals and organized crime bosses on the islands were played by actors such as Ricardo Montalbán , Gavin MacLeod , and Ross Martin as Tony Alika. By the 12th and final season, series regular James MacArthur had left the show (in 1996, he admitted that he had become tired of the role and wanted to do other things), as had Kam Fong. Unlike other characters before him, Fong's character, Chin Ho Kelly, at Fong's request,

450-405: A dark suit and tie on all possible occasions (uncommon in the islands), rapidly entered popular culture. While the other members of Five-O "dressed mainland" much of the time, they also often wore local styles, such as the ubiquitous aloha shirt . In many episodes (including the pilot), McGarrett is drawn into the world of international espionage and national intelligence . McGarrett's nemesis

540-528: A different narrative universe than the Jack Lord series. The 2016 episode "Makaukau ʻoe e Paʻani?" features a sequence in which McGarrett (played by Alex O'Loughlin ) briefly interacts with a CGI reconstruction of Jack Lord . Another legacy of the show is the popularity of the Hawaii Five-O theme music. The tune was composed by Morton Stevens , who also composed numerous episode scores performed by

720-450: A distributor that does not hold syndication rights to the program (such as Shout! Factory ) secures the rights for future DVD releases. TV Guide originally used the term "rerun" to designate rebroadcast programs, but abruptly changed to "repeat" between April and May in 1971. Other TV listings services and publications, including local newspapers, often indicated reruns as "(R)"; since the early 2000s, many listing services only provide

810-656: A long period of time without losing its cultural relevance. Game shows , variety shows , Saturday morning cartoons , and to a lesser extent, newsmagazines , tabloid talk shows , and late-night talk shows (often in edited form) have been seen less commonly in reruns; game shows can quickly become dated because of inflation , while talk shows often draw humor from contemporary events. Tabloid talk shows, with episode archives of thousands of episodes, tend to do well in reruns compared to talk shows without an element of conflict. Newsmagazines, especially those that focus on evergreen stories such as true crime , are easily repackaged for

900-659: A native of Hawaii. Because of the tempo of the music, the theme gained popularity in the UK with followers of Northern soul and was popular on dance floors in the 1970s. The phrase "five-O" (or any variation, such as "5–0", "5-O", and "five O") / ˈ f aɪ v oʊ / FYVE oh ) has often come to refer to the police in the United States. Hawaii Five-O survived long enough to overlap with reruns of early episodes, which were broadcast by CBS in their late night schedule while new episodes were still being produced. Once

Reruns are often carried by Canadian broadcasters in much the same way as they are in the United States, especially on specialty television channels that rely largely on off-network or library rights to programs (and in many cases, may originate little to no first run programming of their own). Reruns of a broadcaster's own library programs are often used to comply with Canadian content regulations enforced by

1080-546: A rights fee. Free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) relies on the barter model for its revenue. With the growing availability of cable and satellite television channels, as well as over-the-air digital subchannels , combined with a growing body of available postsyndication programming, a handful of specialty channels have been built solely or primarily to run former network programming, which otherwise would no longer be in syndication. Branded as "classic television", these often carry reruns of programming dating back to

Western International Hotels assumed management of

1260-721: A season similar to the American format. As in the U.S., fewer new episodes are made during the summer. Until recently, the BBC , ITV and Channel 4 commonly repeated classic shows from their archives, but this has more or less dried up in favor of newer (and cheaper) formats such as reality shows, except on the BBC, where older BBC shows, especially sitcoms , including Dad's Army and Fawlty Towers , are frequently repeated. Syndication did not exist as such in United Kingdom until

1350-510: A secretary. The first secretary was May, then Jenny, and later Malia, Lani, and Luana. The title of the show refers to Hawaiʻi's status as the fiftieth U.S. state. At the time of the show's premier, Hawaiʻi had officially been a U.S. state for only nine years. The Five-O team consists of three to five members (small for a real state police unit), and is portrayed as occupying a suite of offices in ʻIolani Palace . Five-O lacks its own radio network, necessitating frequent requests by McGarrett to

1440-549: A subsidiary of Heller-White's lenders, the Industrial Bank of Japan , exercised an option to purchase the hotel later that year for $ 69.5 million. The Ilikai was renovated between 1987 and 1990, at a cost of $ 40 million, and Jowa Hawaii brought in Nikko Hotels to manage the hotel in 1991, when it was renamed The Ilikai Hotel Nikko Waikiki . The hotel was sold again in 2000 for $ 57 million to Forward One LLC, owned by

1530-432: A two-part story in the first season dealt with the loss of McGarrett's sister's baby. Occasionally, a show would flash back to McGarrett's younger years or to a romantic figure. In the episode "Number One with a Bullet, Part 2", McGarrett tells a criminal, "It was a bastard like you who killed my father." His 42-year-old father had been run down and killed by someone who had just held up a supermarket. Because Steve McGarrett

Very popular series running more than four seasons may start daily reruns of the first seasons, while production and airings continue of the current season's episodes; until around the early 1980s, shows that aired in syndication while still in production had the reruns aired under an alternate name (or multiple alternate names, as

1710-491: Is a rebroadcast of an episode of a radio or television program . The two types of reruns are those that occur during a hiatus and those that occur when a program is syndicated .

In the show's final episode in 1980, titled "Woe to Wo Fat", McGarrett finally sees his foe go to jail. Unlike the reboot, the show's action and straightforward storytelling left little time for personal stories involving wives or girlfriends, though

1890-544: Is also a commander in the Naval Reserve , he sometimes uses their resources to help investigate and solve crimes. The United States Navy as well as the U.S. Coast Guard provided some locations and resources for filming, hence the closing credits of some episodes acknowledge the assistance of the United States Navy.

1980-510: Is also used to try out new shows that did not make it onto the fall schedule to see how they fare with the public. These series usually run six to 13 episodes. If they do well with the public, they may get a renewal for a half (13 weeks) or full season in the new schedule. Shows that are already popular return from February sweeps until the end of the season (which sometimes ends before May sweeps) with only limited reruns used. The number of episodes per season, originally well over 30 episodes during

Schulz ). In South Africa , reruns of the daily soap opera 7de Laan and others are called an omnibus. The omnibus is a weekly rerun that is broadcast on a Sunday afternoon on the original channel/network. It only broadcasts

In the United Kingdom, most drama and comedy series run for shorter seasons – typically six, seven, or thirteen episodes – and are then replaced by others. An exception is soap operas , which are either on all year-round (for example, EastEnders and Coronation Street ), or are on for

2250-1386: The Hallmark Channel . Equity Media Holdings had been using low-power television stations to carry its own Retro Television Network in various markets; those stations were, as a result of Equity going bankrupt, sold to religious broadcaster Daystar Television Network . Since the early 2010s, the growth of digital subchannel networks has allowed for increasing specialization of these classic networks: in addition to general-interest program networks such as MeTV , MeTV+ , getTV , Antenna TV and Rewind TV , there exist networks solely for comedies ( Catchy Comedy and Laff ), game shows ( Buzzr ), ethnic-oriented programs ( Bounce TV and TheGrio ), lifestyle and reality programming ( Story Television , TBD , TrueReal , Defy TV , Twist , and Quest ), westerns ( Grit , and Heroes & Icons ), music programming ( Circle ), sports programming ( Stadium and SportsGrid ), sci-fi and action programming ( Comet and Charge! ), true crime and court programming ( True Crime Network , Court TV , Ion Mystery , and Start TV ), news programming ( Newsy ), and feature films ( Movies! , and This TV ).

2520-586: The VCR era, this would be the only opportunity audiences had of seeing a program more than once. Seasonal programming such as How the Grinch Stole Christmas , The Ten Commandments , It's A Wonderful Life , or the Charlie Brown television specials are normally reshown each year, for the appropriate holiday season . A television program goes into syndication when many episodes of

2610-654: The black-and-white television era and are promoted as nostalgia. The corresponding radio format would be that of an oldies , classic rock , classic hits , or adult standards station. Depending on the programs chosen for a classic network, running the format can be very inexpensive, due to many shows beginning to fall into the public domain . On cable and satellite, channels that devote at least some of their program schedule to postsyndication reruns include Nick at Nite , TV Land , TBS , USA Network , WGN America , Logo TV , Pop , Discovery Family , Game Show Network , Boomerang , Nicktoons , INSP , fetv , RFD-TV , and

2700-432: The 1950s and 1960s, dropped below 26 (the number of episodes required to fill a time slot for a year without rerunning any episode more than once) in the 1970s.

2880-442: The 1980s and beyond, it is still expensive to repeat archive television series on British terrestrial television , as new contracts have to be drawn up and payments made to the artists concerned. Repeats on multichannel television are cheaper, as are reshowings of newer programs covered by less strict repeat clauses. However, programs are no longer destroyed, as the historical and cultural reasons for keeping them have now been seen and

It was renamed The Modern Honolulu Hotel in 2011, after

3150-489: The 21st century as fewer episodes have been produced each season and in-season reruns have increased. Rod Serling 's 1955 teleplay Patterns was credited with proving reruns' viability.

In the United States , most television shows from

One such crime syndicate was led by crime family patriarch Honore Vashon,

3600-545: The UK (for example, Gold ) repackage and rebroadcast "classic" programming from both sides of the Atlantic. Some of these channels, like their U.S. counterparts, make commercial timing cuts; others get around this by running shows in longer time slots, and critics of timing cuts see no reason why all channels should not do the same. It has been common practice by networks, notably the BBC, to rerun some series after they have not fared particularly well on their original run. This

3690-536: The United States, currently running shows rerun older episodes from the same season to fill the time slot with the same program during the "off-season" period when no new episodes are being made. Shows tend to start rerunning episodes after the November sweeps period (the ratings that determine the cost of a commercial run during that time slot), and usually show only reruns from mid-December until mid-January or even February sweeps .

4860-563: The late 1940s and early 1950s were performed live, and in many cases, they were never recorded. However, television networks in the United States began making kinescope recordings of shows broadcast live from the East Coast . This allowed the show to be broadcast later for the West Coast . These kinescopes, along with previously filmed shows, and later, videotape , paved the way for extensive reruns of syndicated television series. In

A viewer reportedly died trying the same technique, and as a result, the episode was not rebroadcast, was never included in any syndication packages, and has not been included on any DVD release of the show to date. The family of the person who died in

CHCH did air the HD remastered version of the series in its original unedited broadcast versions. CHCH did air all 12 seasons in broadcast order. Since 2023, the series first 10 seasons streams three episodes per day on Pluto TV in Canada. Episodes are also remastered in HD and uncut. CBS Interactive had presented

6480-554: The show premiered in 1968, Hawaiʻi had been a state for only nine years and was relatively obscure to Americans who had never served in the Pacific Theater , but as a geographic part of Polynesia it had an exotic image. Known for the location, theme song, and ensemble cast, Hawaii Five-O contains a heavy use of exterior location shooting throughout the entire 12 seasons. A typical episode, on average, would have at least two-thirds of all footage shot on location, as opposed to

6570-465: The show with Governor Burns only after pitching the idea to CBS. Before settling on the name "Hawaii Five-O", Freeman considered titling the show "The Man". Freeman offered Richard Boone the part of McGarrett, but Boone turned it down; Gregory Peck and Robert Brown were also considered. Ultimately, Jack Lord – then living in Beverly Hills – was asked at the last moment. Lord read for

6660-483: The show's opening title sequence ranked No. 4 on a list of TV's top 10 credits sequences, as selected by readers. The show was the longest-running crime show on American television until Law & Order surpassed it in 2002, and was the first to enjoy an uninterrupted run that exceeded a decade (it has since been joined in that distinction by several other series including Law & Order: Special Victims Unit , CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and NCIS ). When

6750-557: The show, McGarrett oversees state police officers – the young Danny "Danno" Williams , veteran Chin Ho Kelly, and streetwise Kono Kalakaua for seasons one through four. Honolulu Police Department Officer Duke Lukela joined the team as a regular, as did Ben Kokua, who replaced Kono beginning with season five. Occasionally, McGarrett's Five-O team is assisted by other officers as needed: Det. Frank Kamana ( Douglas Mossman ), P.O. Sandi Wells ( Amanda McBroom ), medical examiner Doc Bergman (Al Eben), forensic specialist Che Fong ( Harry Endo ), and

6840-476: The show. During the first season, the theme music was played over a short film of a flashing blue light attached to the rear of a police motorcycle in Waikīkī heading west (the film is shown at twice the normal speed, as can be seen from people crossing a street behind the police motorcycle). In later seasons, the same music was played over film of outrigger canoeists battling the surf. In a 2010 issue of TV Guide ,

6930-401: The standard business model as a draw for audiences for advertising. While there were videotape releases of television series before DVD, the format's limited content capacity, large size and reliance on mechanical winding made it impractical as a widespread retail item. Many series which continue to air first-run episodes (such as Modern Family and Grey's Anatomy ) may release DVD sets of

7020-574: The syndication market, which (along with much lower residuals compared to a scripted series with star talent) can also make them cheaper than a first-run program or scripted reruns. Most variants of reality television have proven to be a comparative failure in reruns, due to a number of factors (high cast turnover, loss of the element of surprise, overall hostility toward the format , and lack of media cross-promotion among them); some self-contained and personality-driven reality shows have been successfully rerun. Reruns of sports broadcasts, which face many of

7110-524: The title). Set in Hawaii , the show originally aired for 12 seasons on CBS from September 20, 1968, to April 5, 1980, and continues in reruns . At the airing of its last episode, it was the longest-running police drama in American television history, and the last scripted primetime show that debuted in the 1960s to leave the air. The show starred Jack Lord as Detective Captain Stephen "Steve" McGarrett ,

7200-439: Was added after this phrase, for example, "Book 'em, murder one." In many episodes, this was directed to Danny "Danno" Williams and became McGarrett's catchphrase : "Book 'em, Danno." This catchphrase also expanded to sports in the mid-1970s with former Pittsburgh Penguins announcer Mike Lange , who would utter the line for some Penguins goals. McGarrett's tousled yet immaculate hairstyle, as well as his proclivity for wearing

7290-509: Was created by television director Reza S. Badiyi . Early shows began with a cold open suggesting the sinister plot for that episode, then cut to a shot of a big ocean wave and the start of the theme song. A fast zoom-in to the top balcony of the Ilikai Hotel followed, showing McGarrett turning to face the camera, followed by many quick-cuts and freeze-frames of Hawaiian scenery, including Punchbowl Cemetery , and Hawaiian-Chinese-English model Elizabeth Malamalamaokalani Logue turning to face

7380-516: Was developed by Chinn Ho , a self-made millionaire, and two California businessmen. The building was designed by John Graham, Jr. , who also designed the Space Needle in Seattle. The original building features three wings radiating from a central point in a "Y" shape. The building was originally intended to exclusively house 1056 apartment units, and construction began in 1961. However, when

7470-403: Was due to the unions' fear that the channels filling their schedules with repeats could put actors and other production staff out of work as fewer new shows would be made. It also had the unintentional side effect of causing many programs to be junked after their repeat rights had expired, as they were considered to be of no further use by the broadcasters. Although these agreements changed during

7560-495: Was issued by Capitol Records in 1970. Unlike many albums of television music of the time, the music was taken directly from the scoring sessions rather than being specially re-recorded for album release. One of the instrumental pieces on the album, "Call to Danger", was originally recorded for the unsold 1967 pilot of the same name and also excerpted as background music accompanying a "Special Presentation" logo that CBS used to introduce its prime time television specials throughout

7650-500: Was killed off, murdered while working undercover to expose a protection ring in Chinatown in the last episode of season 10. New characters Jim 'Kimo' Carew ( William Smith ), Lori Wilson ( Sharon Farrell ), and Truck ( Moe Keale ) were introduced in season 12 alongside returning regular character Duke Lukela. Most episodes of Hawaii Five-O ended with the arrest of criminals and McGarrett snapping, "Book 'em." The offense occasionally

7740-440: Was known as a perfectionist who insisted on the best from everyone. His temper flared when he felt that others did not give their best, but in later reunions they admitted that Lord's hard-driving force had made them better actors and made Hawaii Five-O a better show. Lord's high standards helped the show last another six years after Leonard Freeman's death from heart trouble during the sixth season. To critics and viewers, there

7830-795: Was no question that Jack Lord was the center of the show, and that the other actors frequently served as little more than props, standing and watching while McGarrett emoted and paced around his office, analyzing the crime. But occasionally episodes would focus on the other actors, and let them showcase their own talents, such as Danno defusing bombs in "The Clock Struck Twelve". Very few episodes were shot outside of Hawaiʻi. At least two episodes were shot on location in Los Angeles, one in Hong Kong, and one in Singapore as McGarrett traveled to those locales for Investigations. The opening title sequence

7920-413: Was particularly common with sitcoms such as The Office , which had very low ratings in its first series, as well as a poor reception from both critics and focus groups and was almost cancelled. The series started to gain traction once the BBC decided to repeat it in a different timeslot and The Office went on to be an award-winning and critically acclaimed show which has regularly featured in lists of

8010-586: Was shot on location in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi , and throughout the island of Oʻahu and elsewhere in the Hawaiian Islands with occasional filming in locales such as Los Angeles , Singapore , and Hong Kong . The show centers on a fictional state police force led by former U.S. naval officer Steve McGarrett (played by Jack Lord ), a detective captain, who is appointed by the Governor , Paul Jameson. In

8100-399: Was the case with Death Valley Days ) to differentiate the reruns from the first-run episodes. Few people anticipated the long life that a popular television series would eventually have in syndication, so most performers signed contracts that limited residual payments to about six repeats. After that, the actors received nothing and the production company would keep 100% of any income until
