Talk:Hawaii Five-O (1968 TV series)

message: *CBS explains spelling of name for both series
I found this reference today http://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/hawaii-five-0-name-16415/. This is the full press release:
THIS JUST IN… SHORTEST PRESS RELEASE IN CBS HISTORY
EDITORS NOTE: The “0” in HAWAII FIVE-0 is a zero, not a capital O
there is also one from the LA Times that references the same press release.http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/showtracker/2010/07/cbs-explains-why-it-likes-numbers-more-than-letters.html 
*I was not able to find an independent source for the original Press Release. So it appears that, after all of our debate, both series are spelled the same, Hawaii Five-0. 
Call one, Hawaii Five-0 (1968) and the other Hawaii Five-0 (2010)?
The second article calls out Wikipedia for being wrong. Too bad we can't tell the world how hard we tried to be right.

The press release doesn't say which series it's talking about, the original or the reboot. I believe that means it's talking about both. After all, it doesn't say to use the letter O when talking about the original, and the numeral 0 when talking about the reboot. It says use the numeral 0, period.2600:4040:5D38:1600:8D8:B43:FF2E:5BC2 (talk) 03:53, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

message: Hi! I noticed that there was still some unnecessary hatnotes on series main article and its seasons articles. It perhaps was a remainder of the moving the pages suffered some time ago. Putting the year to distinguish the series not only with O and 0 was a good idea but, with it, the season articles became not ambiguous at all. Per WP:NOTAMB and WP:NCTV, I`m removing unnecessary hatnotes. Cvhcsee (talk) 03:10, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

message: TV history is one of my hobbies and it simply amazes me how much of it Wikipedia gets wrong.
In this case,  Hawaii 5-0 did not debut on Friday September 20 1968. That was the 2-hour pilot “Cocoon” which aired on the CBS Friday Night Movies. Source is the Boston Globe which said: “ ‘Hawaii Five-O [sic],’ adventure film that inspired the new TV series of the same title, which premieres on CBS Sept. 26.”
And when the first episode “Full Fathom Five” aired on Thursday Sept. 26, TV Guide dutifully labeled it “debut.” Why do you guys insist on changing history? 74.104.189.176 (talk) 14:17, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  wrong date for debut 

message: I removed the claim from the lead that the show was based on "an actual unit that existed under martial law after  World War II". The reference was to the main page of http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com with an access date of 8 Sep 2012. I've checked the Wayback Machine for that site on the nearest captured dates, 6 Sep 2012 and 12 Sep 2012, and I see no reference to the show Hawaii Five-O or to a statewide police force. I've also done some searching for other references to a real life basis for the fictional Hawaii Five-O unit but have found nothing. This needs a real source if it is to be re-added, and if it were to be added, it should be described in the body of the article, not just in the lead. CodeTalker (talk) 00:48, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
