The final episode of the fifth season has Steve and D.A. Manicote involved in the murder trial of a gangster. Steve learns from a stoolie (Arthur Malet) that the gangster may have one of the jurors in his pocket — and starts a frantic investigation to find out whom. Ed Binns and Ray Buktenica guest star.
Luigi’s Useless Information: You already had 1 final point for Ray Buktenica, so don’t be cheating. So then, here we are, at the end of our little Spot the Trek Actors in Five-O game. What was your tally? Mine was…oh, damn it all, I lost count…
Once again, CBS/Paramount has done an exceptionally nice job of transferring Hawaii Five-O to DVD: these episodes look so nice, that one could swear they were only filmed recently. The occasional speck of debris or dirt occasionally pops up now and then, but for the most part, this is a superb transfer of a nearly forty-year-old TV show. As with previous season sets, all episodes feature a mono stereo English and Spanish soundtracks. Also like the past sets, the English audio option sounds infinitely better than the Spanish-language one (which sounds as if it could have been recorded from the inside of a cigar box). English, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese subtitles are on hand for every episode and English Closed Captioning is also available.
Each disc carries a few of the original Episodic Promos narrated by Jack Lord, each ending with the catch phrase “Be there. Aloha.” What a guy.
The Bottom Line: come on, just buy it so you can play my Spot the Trek Actors in Five-O game. It’s fun!
