Apparently the pilot ep is cut and re-edited as a two ep show in season 1, but I've looked and cannot find the full pilot ep.
Curious if anyone knows where I might find it. I've looked on Amazon and Netflix.
thx.
It's included in the Season 1 DVD set.
shareThank you. When I first looked on Netflix at the disks I didn't see "pilot". I guess I was expecting it to be capitalized.
I really appreciate it. Have a Happy Holidays.
You're welcome. Happy Holidays to you as well.
shareThe pilot is titled, "Cocoon", and is included in the Season 1 set.
shareAs answered the feature length copy of "Cocoon" is on Season 1 Disc 1. There is an announcement beforehand saying that a 2 part reedited version was shown at the end of the Season. It is this version that is shown in syndication to this day even as a feature length movie (both parts were spliced together, and the credits were reconstructed as if it were a normal episode from Seasons 1 - 4). In the fore mentioned disclaimer, Paramount states that this version has not been seen since it's original airdate in 1968 and they are pleased to provide it for us. The revamped copy is not on DVD (but who needs it).
shareI don't know why they re-edited the pilot to show at the end of Season 1. It has some different actors, so I wonder if growing fans were confused. I'm surprised they didn't just release it to theatres as HAWAII FIVE-O: THE MOVIE.

Two years since this post and the entire series is being played on Netflix. Imagine that.
