Hawaii Five-O
From our hostess, Sam: Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!
Saturday 9: Hawaii Five-O (1969)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) This is the theme from the TV show that originally ran from 1968 to 1980 and is on now again with a new cast. Were you/are you a fan? No. I didn't watch it before and haven't seen it recently.
2) On both shows, Five-O is an elite police task force led by Det. Lt. Steve McGarrett. Who is your favorite TV cop? Right now, I am really into NCIS New Orleans and LOVE Scott Backula. Wow.

3) On both shows, the part of Danny "Danno" Williams was played by a second generation performer. (James MacArthur was the son of Broadway legend Helen Hayes; Scott Caan is the son of movie actor James Caan.) If you followed one of your parents into their chosen profession, what would you be doing? I would be working for the Federal Government, which I have already done - though not anymore.
4) Both shows are filmed in Hawaii, the boyhood home of President Obama. Have any of our 44 Presidents hailed from your state? Here is a link. It looks like 6 presidents were from Ohio.
5) Kona coffee is made from beans cultivated on the Big Island of Hawaii. Are you a big coffee drinker? Oh my, yes!! Usually three cups a day, average.
6) This week's song was written by the late Morton Stevens. In addition to composing for TV shows, he was the musical director for a group of entertainers known in the 60s as "The Rat Pack." Can you name any "Rat Pack" members? Of course I can!! Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Frank Sinatra, Peter Lawford, Joey Bishop....
7) This week's featured band, The Ventures, began when Don Wilson purchased a used car from Bob Bogle. During negotiations, they discovered a shared passion for playing guitar. Did you buy your current ride new or used? Did the negotiations go smoothly? We always buy new. The negotiations for my Kia Sportage went very well. It is now 9 years old, with 88,000 miles on it. We try to keep them 10-12 years by taking very good care of them.
8) The year this song was popular, 1969, is when Donald and Doris Fisher opened a San Francisco clothing store called The Gap. Today there are more than 3,200 Gap locations. Do you shop at The Gap or gap.com? I do not shop at The Gap. I'm old and fat and 6 feet tall.....
9) Random question: What's on your Saturday to-do list? We are going to the Farmers' Market this morning, and will go to the Saturday Vigil Mass at 4:00. Other than that, we will see what happens!

Thanks for coming by!! Wishing you a good Saturday!
Peace & love.
I never watched Hawaii 5-0 either but it does have a cool theme song. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHow funny! The other night I saw that Five-O was on one of our channels. I did watch the original Hawaii Five-O when I was little. If I had to pick an all-time favourite cop show, it would probably be Car 54, which again I watched when I was little or Columbo. Now I enjoy watching Criminal Minds, but only watch that sometimes.
ReplyDeleteMy weekends for now are spent doing necessary chores, and this weekend's chores include doing a bit of ironing. It's not the best weekend to be out anyway. Hope you're enjoying a good day.
I didnt watch it 'back then' and dont watch it these days. I am a 'Blue Bloods' fan at the moment, but also enjoy Criminal Minds. I dont shop at the Gap either. I did for the kids when they were young tho! Hope your Sat. is a good day!
ReplyDeleteJohn loves the new Hawaii and also Blue Bloods; I only watch home and garden tv. I love my coffee. I try to only have a cup each a.m. but I sometimes love a cup in late afternoon. Blessings to you this weekend, Terri.
ReplyDeleteHI Terri! I'm here trying to catch up with all my blogger friends once again! I enjoyed your answers here, and I've read back quite a bit on your page to try and feel connected again. I hope you are doing well.
