We have the Decades over the air broadcast channel in our area. They do a marathon each weekend of some past TV show. Most I don't care that much about, but this weekend it was Hawaiian Eye, which I had never heard of or seen. Watched about a quarter of the entire 4 year series over the weekend. What a treat! Let me list the positives....
1. High quality B&W recording! That helps a lot for a TV show this old.
2. A-list actors or ones that would be A-list.
3. Connie Stevens singing a number in a club most episodes I watched. Never paid much attention to her before but she is actually very good and the song selection is not bad.
4. Even though its heavy on the closed studio production it has some real shots of Hawaii and that is always great in an old vid. Historical documents and all.
5. The show and writing aren't bad for the time period. Kinda of a precursor to other shows of this nature and Hawaii, (ie., Hawaii 5 O)
So unbelievably great treat and all for free over the air broadcast. Sorry if you don't have the Decades over the air broadcast in your area. You are really missing it for free!
