Just got this as a news alert; am hoping I'll like this version better than I ever did the original:

CBS Books New 'Hawaii Five-O'
'Criminal Minds' producer writing update of classic cop show.

CBS is reaching back into TV history again, this time looking to update its classic cop show " Hawaii Five-O."

"Criminal Minds" executive producer Ed Bernero is working on an update of the series, which ran from 1968-80 and made the signature line "Book 'em, Danno" into a national catchphrase. Bernero, a big fan of the old "Five-O," says he won't try to reinvent the show: "We will try to keep as much of the original show as possible," he tells The Hollywood Reporter.

That means that the iconic theme music will stay, with possibly a few tweaks. The main character will be Chris McGarrett, who's following the footsteps of his father Steve (Jack Lord in the original) as head of a Hawaii state police unit. And, like the original, the show would shoot on location in Hawaii.
