OK...but what happened to Hawaii?, 1 February 2004
6/10
Author: moonspinner55 from redlands, ca

After the hip, breezy opening credits sequence (with most of the cast riding surfboards on the foamy waves), "Hawaiian Eye" becomes a set-bound detective show that drags its feet in the sand. I recently paid thru the nose for several episodes (and the show was recently seen, briefly, on the American Life network), but I was disappointed with the writing, the pacing, the direction, the slim budget, and the way gorgeous, mercurial Connie Stevens is shunted off to the Shell Bar without much dialogue (once Troy Donahue joined the cast in the final season, Connie's role was apparently expanded). Grant Williams is handsome but bland, Robert Conrad is inert, but Poncie Ponce gives the proceedings a little bounce. Sometimes the stories about these "great old TV shows" are actually much better than the show itself.
