TNT Gets Off-Net Rights To ‘Hawaii Five-0′

COMMENTS (7)

• ‘Ooh those people at TNT must be mad buying such a ‘failure’ to go along with shows like The Mentalist.’ (Impression of the usual bashers of rabid Castle fans and loopy Moonlight nuts).

  If I read one more comment about what a ‘failure’ HFO is it will just become too boring. It has similar demos most weeks to The Mentalist. It has better demos than every single other ten pm drama on any network except Castle – where they are pretty much neck and neck!

  This week – it’s worse week yet. It still managed a demo of 2.5 with a 2.0 lead in and Castle post DWTS boost on the opposite side. When Castle had the great Bachelor lead in mid season it consistently only rated 2.3′s ish.

  I actually love Castle and watch it every week on DVR but I am sick of seeing the HFO bashing on these sites. It will struggle these last few weeks as it is on a dire night with no other good shows and is against ABC biggest power house night and its own night has collapsed around it but next year it will be back bigger and better and has done well all season with lots of difficulties due to CBS and Mr. Sheens row.

  For those who slate it look how well it does compared to a show like Suspect Behaviour. Which can only manage the same demo as HFO this week (HFO’s WORST week) when SVU is in repeats and it has the motherships 3.4 gravy lead in.

• “Is yet”?

  And what happens when it doesn’t make it to season three?

• Personally, I can’t stand H5O and most anything else on CBS. BUT, I am so thrilled for DDK. Glad to see a former LOSTie doing well and I hope he’s getting a HUGE payday from the success of this show. More power to him!

• “Hawaii Five-0 is a top-notch procedural drama that has already built a strong following”…

  Nice that it sold but I would not call it top-notch by any means. And it had good buzz at the beginning of the season, but I personally don’t know anyone that has stuck with it…except maybe for a few Alex O fangirls.

• YAY, I’m so glad to hear that HFO will continue on! It’s the best show on TV right now, and it deserves all the airings it can get!

  Jake, you must not know many people, because everyone I know loves it…and we aren’t ‘Alex fangirls’.
