hawaii five-0

today i relive my childhood watching the re-runs. this is what deliciously comes back:

• that retro look with plenty of hair spray and stepford wives dresses,
• the narrower vowels and slightly breathless acting,
• steve mcgarrett's trademark over-his-shoulder parthian shot look,
• communication via radio dispatcher, and of course,
• that iconic surfer dude music.

for the record, steve mcgarrett is my first megacrush.
