M Station Hawaii

[Mr. Mike]

"M Station Hawaii" was an unsuccessful pilot executive produced and directed by Jack Lord after Classic H50 ended in 1980. A look at the IMDB cast and crew page will reveal several guest stars from the regular series and members of the resident "stock company" who took part in this show, along with various people behind the scenes like cinematographer Robert Morrison and composer Morton Stevens.

I have revised three brief dailies which I received along with those from "Number One With A Bullet" (see message posted elsewhere today) so they are accessible without Flash Video as well.

If you keep watching stuff until the very end, you will get an interesting surprise!

It is interesting to see confirmation that this was shot long before the end of Five-O in early 1979, indeed even before the end of Season 11. It seems the initial failure of the pilot to sell for 79-80 clearly accounts for the presence of the Truck character in Season 12.

Too many reference guides keep implying this was done after Five-O ended but it only aired after it as part of a CBS burn-off of stuff lying on the shelf (though Jack Lord based on a June 1980 interview was still hoping it might sell).
