Great update by H50's Dennis Chun who not only appeared on the original Magnum P.I. but will be on the reboot, too!
Next Monday, fans can see Dennis as Sgt. Duke Lukela in the new Magnum P.I. episode 1.17 on CBS. I love seeing our H50 'ohana appear on Magnum P.I., too. While H50 will always be the No.1 among my favorite shows, Magnum P.I. is ranking close behind as No. 2:

McDanno would like to remind you to tune in to CBS on Friday for H50 episode 9.18 :-)

Yeah! All the fans of H50, Magnum P.I. and MacGyver can watch our favorites at the Paley Fest in L.A. on March 23!
Even if you can't attend the event live and in person, you can watch online for a small amount. Buy PaleyTV to enjoy the live-stream from the event and select videos afterwards! I pre-ordered PaleyTV immediately cause I absolutely want to join in the fun.
To order tickets for the Paley Fest or to pre-order PaleyTV to watch from around the world, go here:
https://www.paleycenter.org/2019-paleyfest-la-tickets
P.S.: Since I'm not quite sure if I'll be awake at 2 a.m. in Germany to watch live, I hope the video with the H50 & Magnum P.I. panel will be available after the event, too. I'll make sure to share any info I will get about the availability.
Quick update...: Of course, the livestream is NOT at 2 a.m. in Germany because the Paley Fest is not in Hawaii but in L.A. which is definitely in a different time-zone. So I can happily watch the livestream late on Saturday evening German time - which is the perfect time for German fans :-)

Happy H50 Night to the German fans with two repeats from Season 5 on Kabel Eins from 8:15 p.m.!
Fans in Germany can enjoy the episodes 5.03 and 5.04 again, tonight. I particularly love ep. 5.04 about a contract killer who's become a "good" man after his life was saved by a heart transplant. The episode also includes a very personal storyline for Danno. German fans should not miss this chance to rewatch the episodes.

MARCH 10, 2019: Have a Sunny Sunday!

Enjoy the Five-0 Redux blog about H50 ep. 9.18 with fabulous guest-star Joan Collins and our favorite "Men in Black" :-)
While I'm glad that Mrs. Savage (What a fitting name!) finally told Danno the truth behind her horrific, mean behaviour as a mother-in-law, she should not have told Danno at the end of their little conversation to "do right to Rachael". Danno has always done right for his family - which is, after all, the reason why his mother-in-law was jealous of her own daughter for having found the perfect family man.
Well, here's the blog now:

Organ donation on "Hawaii Five-0" and living donor transplantation in real life - A post by the "Alex O'Loughlin Fans for Organ Donation":
In the latest H50 ep. 9.18, Steve and Danno briefly mentionned the gift of life that Danno gave to Steve in ep. 6.25 when he donated half of his liver to his Five-0 partner. Let's take a look at episodes in which organ donation was incorporated on the show - and get some good real-life examples and information about organ transplantation with living donors (as in the case of McDanno). .
I compiled this blog a while ago but it's still true and worth reading:

Have a good start into the week with Steve & Co. in H50 ep. 9.19!

Enjoy the H50 Season 9 wrap video with the cast & crew :-)
I think the following line from the first song is the perfect "indicator" for a Season 10 - and there's more that's pointing to a season 10 - I just won't mention it here. Well, here's my favorite line in the video: "Don't stop me now cause I'm having a good time!" - Oh, and all of us fans are having a good time, too, with the show. And at least two of them have already booked trips from Germany to Hawaii for September, so our favorite cast and crew simply has to return. Just saying... - Now enjoy the video:

Too bad that fans have to wait until April 5 for this episode to air.

Hopefully, you all love Willie Garson as Gerard Hirsch as much as I do - because tomorrow will be "Willie Wednesday" :-)
Here's a "first taste" of what is coming up tomorrow and, of course, there'll be collages with Steve, too, for the Alex fans who follow my fansite. Actually, I will probably just post an album on Facebook and set a link from the fansite.

MARCH 20, 2019:

Happy Willie Wednesday with Willie Garson as Gerard Hirsch in H50 ep. 9.19 - one of my favorite guest-stars :-)
Here's a link to a small Facebook album with more collages of Gerard with Five-0:

H50 fans will LOVE to see this photo - Take a good look!

There are still tickets left, so get yours and see our favorite actors live!

Enjoy the new "Magnum Reloaded" blog - It's about Magnum P.I. and his friends in the first season!
While my fansite is primarily dedicated to Alex and H50, I must admit that I love Magnum P.I., too, and I very much hope that you all give this show a chance - I promise you won't regret it. If you haven't watched, so far, catch up on CBS All Access!
Here's the link to the latest blog by my friend Wendie, followed by the link to her "Magnum Reloaded" Facebook page for which I'm an admin, too. Please follow the Facebook page for updates about Magnum P.I.:

Great promo collage for the Paley Fest in L.A. with the cast of H50, Magnum P.I. and MacGyver - and "The Boss" Peter:
I'm sure all the fans who can be there will have a blast. I wished I could go but, at least, I can enjoy the Paley TV livestream.

MARCH 22, 2019:

Happy Weekend with happy smiles from H50 :-)
Although there's no new episode of our favorite show on CBS tonight, fans have something to look forward to. Tomorrow's Paley Fest can be enjoyed by all the fans around the globe - you just need to pay a small fee to watch the Paley TV livestream.

MARCH 23, 2019:

Happy H50 Night to the German fans with 2 episodes from Season 5 at 8:15 p.m. and the 100th episode after midnight.
Unfortunately, Kabel Eins is skipping ep. 5.07 in the early evening. This episode (100th episode with Steve getting tortured) will air after midnight (12:05 a.m.). However, fans can enjoy ep. 5.08 and 5.09 from 8:15 p.m. Those fans who bought the Paley TV livestream package should make sure to hop on over to their computers very quickly when ep. 5.09 ends on television because the livestream from the Paley Fest starts at 10:20 p.m. (German time). I look forward to enjoying several hours of H50 fun - on TV and via livestream :-)
For information about Season 5 of H50, please view:

Today's new collage is dedicated to McDanno because fans missed Scotty in the last episode and miss him at the Paley Fest, too!
The new collage on Saturdays is usually related to the new Five-0 Redux blog. Well, you should know that there will be no blog this weekend because Wendie is going on a little family vacation today since it's springbreak in the U.S.

The Paley Fest panel for H50, Magnum P.I. and MacGyver was fun!
Pictures will get posted on Sunday (German time) - I got some good screenshots and there's material on social media, too...
I'd just love to watch the repeat of the 100th episode on TV right now (As if I didn't have it on DVD...) and then catch some sleep.
Here's the very first picture of Peter and Alex laughing together:

April is Donate Life Month - Get ready by getting informed about organ donation and then please participate in our upcoming campaign by the Alex O'Loughlin Fans for Organ Donation!
In our info link collection, you find plenty of information about organ donation and about related charities that Alex and our group have supported over the years. We also highly recommend to follow the social media pages indicated in the link collection. Here it is:
www.alex-the-best.de/donalink.htm

MARCH 25, 2019:

The "Alex O'Loughlin Fans for Organ Donation" are happy to share these pictures of happy fan Mary!
Mary won the first prize in our Christmas fundraising campaign in which she made a donation to "Legacy of Life Hawaii" for a chance to win the exclusive "Hawaii Five-0 50th Anniversary" book of which only 6 printed copies exist,
A huge "Thank You" goes out to Executive Producer Peter Lenkov for arranging that Mary got the book signed by him and cast members (sadly, not Alex) this weekend at the Paley Fest in L.A. The autographs make this book even more special for Mary as a huge fan of both Alex and the show.
Thank you to Mary for allowing me to share these photos as a little incentive for fans to participate in our future charity fundraisers.  I don't have any more anniversary books to give away but you can always make organ donor families and transplant recipients happy by participating in our campaigns - and it will definitely give you a good feeling, too ;-)

I love this ET Canada interview with Alex from the Paley Fest!
He talks about the 200th episode which will air in Germany tomorrow night. He also talks about the best executive producer - of course, Peter. And Alex is actually right about the weather in paradise - it was super-moist when I was there last time. There were days on which I was dripping with sweat almost instantly after leaving the hotel - and wasn't dressed in a kevlar like Alex and his colleagues, and I wasn't carrying around equipment like the crew. These guys do work really hard even though it often doesn't look that way when we enjoy the final product on our TV screens! Well, here's the interview with ET Canada:
https://www.facebook.com/ETCanada/videos/1726690727431443

My DVD box is on the way but, of course, I already have the U.S. version of the DVDs, too, since September when I bought them at Barnes & Noble at Ala Moana Center in Hawaii. Thanks to Dennis I knew where to look for the DVDs which are surprisingly difficult to find in Hawaii.

Looks like Jorge is preparing another haunted house project again for fall - and is having fun with the monsters :-)
As you all may know, he absolutely loves Halloween and also told me at the SOTB9 last year that it would be "a lotta fun to write a Halloween episode" for H50 in an upcoming season. Here's the photo of him with the monster:
