Hawaii Five-0, tv series, 2010-

my new favorite show!

2. Hawaii Five-0

Hawaii Five-O ran from 1968-1980, and was a police action drama starring Jack Lord and James MacArthur (yes, that would be Fritz from Disney's Swiss Family Robinson, folks!). I'm sure it was great- it did run for 12 seasons after all. But now, 30 years later, it's back!

Now starring Alex O'Loughlin, Scott Caan, Daniel Dae Kim, and Grace Park. It reminds me of NCIS: Los Angeles, except the guys are better looking (HAVE YOU SEEN THAT PICTURE? <<<<<<<<------), and of course, it takes place in Hawaii. I would probably never want to visit Hawaii, but it sure is pretty on tv!

I've started season 2 because that's where the show is now and I can watch full episodes on CBS.com. But I'm excited to watch season 1 through Netflix. I really love Netflix, and right now especially. I can even watch all 12 seasons of the old version of Five-O on Netflix- instantly! I might give it a go.

Unforgettable, tv series, 2011-

I am currently out of commission with back trouble. I literally can't walk or stand for more than a few minutes at a time without lots of pain and discomfort. So, movies and television (and knitting!) are my friends right now.

1. Unforgettable

I just discovered this fantastic police drama Unforgettable! (Of course, it is brand new anyway, so there weren't a whole lot to discover.) The main character is a detective (played by Poppy Montgomery) who remembers absolutely everything. You can pick any day of her life and she can tell you what happened, where she was, who she was with, what was said, what people were wearing, etc. It's kind of cool! It's like a cross between Castle and Monk.

To make things interesting, she works with another detective, Al Burns (played by Dylan Walsh), with whom she had a past relationship. But now he's in a relationship, so there's a bit of drama, and of course, viewers are wondering how he's going to break up with his current girlfriend and get back with Carrie Wells (that's the main character). Well, I'm wondering.

I'm slightly annoyed with Poppy Montgomery's slightly Australian accent. I mean, I love accents, and it's not exactly annoying! I just mean, it is SOOOOOO obvious she is Australian so I think the writers should write something in, like that her father was from Australia, or that she spent a lot of time there when she was younger. Otherwise, she needs to try a lot harder on her American accent! Sorry.

It's Tuesday nights at 10pm on CBS. And you can full episodes on CBS.com!
