A Great Return to Form after the Season 10 DVD Misstep!
Following 9 stellar seasons on DVD featuring digitally remastered prints, CBS/Paramount disappointed many fans of classic H5O with what seemed to be a rushed Season 10 release that featured rather poor photoshopping on the box art, along with prints that were no better (and in some instances almost worse) than grainy, faded TV prints. Well, fortunately for fans, the complaints that were registered with the studio were most definitely heard and as a result, I'm pleased to say that the eleventh season of H5O looks absolutely stellar on DVD once again in all of its remastered glory. Aside from some grainy, shimmery teasers at the beginning of some episodes, the picture quality of the episodes is a MAJOR improvement over those in the S10 DVD release. Audio levels are also improved as well, crystal clear with good fidelity.
However, the other big question on the minds of fans is about whether there was music replacement on several key episodes during the season (as was noticed...
Eleven Years and Still a Cut Above
I won't argue that the Five-0 Team (on both sides of the camera) was tired; in fact, in a magazine article published at the end of Season 10, Jack Lord said he planned to ask the network to cut things short. He wanted to portray characters other than McGarrett, and who could blame him? Season 11 was the year he began putting together plans for what he hoped would be a new series, "M Station: Hawaii."

Added to that, they continued to bring in guest stars who did not come without cost; e.g., Mildred Natwick and Robert Vaughn. Please note that these are only examples.
My favorite episodes from Season 11 include "The...
Its about time to Bookem again. Chin Ho shows his face.
Five-0 was the best cop show on TV. And only Jack Lord can run the show as he did. This was TV at its best! Not like the trash that is on TV now. It has taken CBS so darn long to get the seasons out. But only one more after this season.
Then I can watch it from start to end. Lets get it done CBS. Lets Bookem Danno!
I hear CBS has cleaned this season up and got it done right! I hope so. One season 10 was a real mess.
On my set season 11. Disc 5 The Execution File. The Starting shows Kam Fong as Chin Ho real fast)). Did anyone get that also.
I was like what the ? Ha! ha! Lets Bookem!
Be well all.
