This mind can't contain all these words
In this episode of Book ’em, Danno, I talk about the season 1 episode “Face of the Dragon” before switching to the pilot episode of the 2010 reboot, aptly titled “Pilot”. Between the plague, Uncle Fester, human trafficking, Spike and Daryl, espionage, arms dealing, and shaved ice, there’s a whole lot going on here. A whole lot.
And yet, I got the episode under an hour. Go figure.
Check it out on Soundcloud and iTunes.
Don’t disappoint Jackie Coogan. He wore his best shirt.
Episode 8 is Danno heavy. First, he’s shot and held hostage in “King of the Hill” and then in “Uptight”, he goes undercover after failing to save a young woman from a cliff. Come for the Yaphet Kotto excellence, stay for the acid trips.

No, it’s not the crappy quality of the picture. That really is Richard Bull with a mustache.
Episode 7 features two more episodes from Season 1: “Deathwatch” and “Pray Love Remember, Pray Love Remember”. We’ve got Nehemiah Persoff and James Shigeta being smug bastards while Denny Miller and Ron Feinberg break our hearts.It’s a tonal shift between episodes that’ll drop your transmission if you aren’t careful.

I thought I had a picture of Denny Miller from this episode, but I don’t. So here’s one of him in Emergency! about five years later.
Episode 6 covers “By the Numbers” and “Yesterday Died and Tomorrow Won’t Be Born”. Johnny Crawford exhibits poor decision making skills and has a rough time in Honolulu. Steve has an even rougher time on the beach. It’ll be the first of many times our main man is either shot or blown up during the run of the show.
Listen in on Soundcloud or iTunes.
Visual reference for when I mention Johnny Crawford’s less-than-attractive shirt.
Episode 5 of Book ’em, Danno is all about “The Ways of Love” and “No Blue Skies”. Dating men with criminal tendencies turns out to be hazardous to your health and theirs. Who knew, right? Steve goes undercover for the first time and we’ve got a singing cat burglar. It’s a real good time.
Listen on Soundcloud and iTunes (link coming soon).
I don’t have any pictures that go with this specific episode, so here’s a picture of Danno. He goes with every episode.
Things get heavy for episode 4 of Book ’em, Danno, which covers “…And They Painted Daisies on His Coffin” and “24 Karat Kill”. Danny is at the center of a police involved shooting, there’s a convoluted plot involving smuggling gold in fish, and Big Chicken isn’t the only fowl in town.

Don’t let Big Chicken down.
This episode of Book ’em, Danno covers “Tiger By the Tail” and “Samurai”. Sal Mineo has terrible friends, a terrible father, and the humidity hates his hair. Ricardo Montalban is Japanese for an hour, something I’ve written about before.

In the meantime, here is your reference picture for when I start rambling about fake eyelids.
In this episode of Book ’em, Danno, we look at “Full Fathom Five” and “Strangers in Our Own Land”. We learn a valuable lesson about meeting men on cruise ships and why it’s best never to accept briefcases that aren’t your own.

Also, when I go on about Steve’s undercover Hawaiian shirt, this is the beauty I’m talking about…
My long-rumored Hawaii Five-O podcast is now available for your listening pleasure. Hopefully. This is my second attempt due to technical difficulties.
So, check out Book ’em, Danno before the gremlins get it again.
This first episode covers, well, the pilot, “Cocoon.”
Listen and enjoy my disclaimers.
