Another Steven Bochco hit which delved (perhaps too deeply) into modern day Hawaiian island's culture. My wife and I lived on Maui and the Big Island, the later destination where we resided during this great show's tragically short life. The issues were wonderfully relevant to families from "the mainland (USA)" trying to live in the duality of Hawaii's very complex cultures. So many see Hawaii from the balcony of the hotels or the beaches, the bike rides down Haleakala. A few also see it when faced by people who speak pidgin English - that's right - If you're really one of "da 'kine",(a local) how ya talk-story counts. And that is apparently one factor,"language" that got the show canceled. Hawaii is a 'melting pot' of Native Hawaiians, many generations of Japanese-Americans, Chinese-Americans and Portugese-Americans as well as the "late comers" known by the racist term "HAOLE" to some of the less-educated locals. Actually, people of European decent arrived before the Japanese. Mr. Bochco and crew (I am not sure who conceived of the plot, etc) combined the positive and negative to show a lifelike Hawaii and a 'model' family struggling to adapt. Too bad so many people can't handle the reality of it. It was a show that should be re-considered. Shame on you network hatchet-people!
