For those to young to remember, before the current Hawaii Five-O, there was another Hawaii Five-O.
From Wikipedia, we learn:
The origianl series starred:
- Steve McGarrett, played by Jack Lord
- Danny "Danno" Williams, played by James MacArthur
- Kono Kalakaua, played by Gilbert Lani Kauhi (credited as Zulu)
- Chin Ho Kelly, played by Kam Fong Chun (credited as Kam Fong)
For twelve seasons, McGarrett and his team hounded international secret agents, criminals, and organized crime syndicates plaguing the Hawaiian Islands. With the aid of District Attorney and later Hawaii’s Attorney General John Manicote (played by Glenn Cannon), McGarrett was successful in sending most of his enemies to prison. One such Mafia syndicate was led by crime family patriarch Honore Vashon (played by Harold Gould), a character introduced in the fifth season. Most episodes of Hawaii Five-O ended with the arrest of criminals and McGarrett snapping, "Book ’em." The offense occasionally was added after this phrase, for example, "Book ’em, murder one." In many episodes this was directed to Danny Williams and became McGarrett’s catchphrase, "Book ’em, Danno."
This is probably one of the most recognizeable theme songs ever recorded:
