Tim Ryan on the Hawaii Five-0 crews' feelings:

Crew seem to be happy – no ecstatic – about “The Five-0″ experience so far…”I’m very happy, very happy,” one crew member told Reel Hawaii this week…One surprising thing several local crew said is having a few production executives “actually taking time to tell us when we do a good job,” a crew member said…”That is very rare".

“There’s a decidedly lack of yelling on this one,” a crew vet said…That’s saying a lot considering all the location changes and new sets required….A former Honolulu Advertiser warehouse is being used as a sound stage; the production offices are at at Gentry-Pacific on Nimitz Highway…

“There’s every indication that the network and certainly this production team and this series is going to be very big,” a junior production executive said. CBS has ordered 12 hourlong episodes then will evaluate the ratings before deciding if another nine episodes will be ordered….”We’ll know by mid October, no later, if we’re a go or not”. - TimRyansReelHawaii.com
