Have a happy day with Steve in season 1 of H50!
It's Happy Aloha Friday for the
Magnum P.I. fans with the season 3 premiere on CBS - Tune in and enjoy!
You can see H50 favorites, such as Noelani and Flippa in this week's episode.
And if you love Peter's work (like I do), you are probably happy to hear that
he's written four scripts for the current season.

star Joan Collins). After a 2-hour break, H50 returns with ep. 3.07 at 12:10 a.m.

Info for Magnum P.I. fans who have
followed Wendie's "Magnum Reloaded" Facebook page (for which I'm an admin, too):
If you currently click on the link to the page, it cannot be viewed because
Facebook blocked it. They claim that we "violated community standards". Well, I
have no idea why because I merely posted some collages for the fans there - the
last few collages were to promote the season 3 start on Friday. Maybe they don't
want me to promote my favorite shows. A few weeks ago, I could not even post and
share collages to promote organ donation. Social media can be quite UN-social
sometimes :-(
Happy 12th Birthday to the German
Alex O'Loughlin Fan Club!
The fan club's co-founders Sabine and Silke also founded the "Alex O'Loughlin
Fans for Organ Donation" (originally "AOL Fans for Donate Life"), so you would make Silke (Head of the fan-club) very
happy by participating in our current Christmas fundraising campaign benefitting
"Legacy of Life Hawaii".

After two collages with Alex, I think there's room for one of those Scotty/Danno collages as a lot of fans love both men
DECEMBER 7, 2020:
For Pearl Harbor Day, here's Navy
SEAL McGarrett to remind you of those who lost their lives on that day - like
Steve's own grandfather
Pearl Harbor always seemed to be a special place for Steve where he thought of
his grandpa and saluted those who died there in December 1941.
Pictures from the Pearl Harbor episode of H50...

Have a Good Day - and if it's not,
make it a good one by enjoying some H50 on TV or DVD :-)
Fans in Germany can enjoy H50 ep. 2.03 on Kabel Eins at 2 p.m.

A little treat for the fans of SEAL Steve...
DECEMBER 23, 2020:
A look back at H50 ep. 2.04 which the fans in Germany can enjoy on Kabel Eins at 1:55 p.m.!
It has finally arrived! The
full-series DVD box of H50 has just been added to my huge H50 collection :-)
While I know that a lot of the content is also on the DVDs of the individual
seasons (which I own, of course), I just had to get the collector's box because
of the new bonus disc. H50 is my all-time favorite show, after all, so I need to
have the complete collection. Yes, you may call me crazy but I just love this
show. Guess what I'll be watching soon?! And I hope the bonus disc will distract
me from my lower back pain which is literally a pain in the a$$, especially when
I'm sitting at the computer. The pain started last week "just in time" before my
long Christmas vacation (aka lockdown) at home in my apartment - and, yes, I am
being slightly sarcastic because I want to do stuff on my computer (such as
making collages and working on a book that will never get finished otherwise)
but it's no fun, at the moment. I need a huge dose of my H50 drug!
Enjoy a look back at H50 ep. 3.02 with Steve
DECEMBER 24, 2020:
Merry Christmas to all of you who
start celebrating today!
The collage is also perfect for "Throwback Thursday" as the pictures are from
the very first Christmas on H50. It was so sweet to see the Five-0 ohana and
Kamekona helping Danno make this a special day for little Grace.
For Throwback Thursday, enjoy a look
back at this cute BTS-video clip from H50 with Daniel, Grace and Alex!
This was for Christmas 2015. It may just be a coincidence that Alex mentionned
NCIS but I had compared H50 to NCIS in my previous fan letter to Alex in 2015,
suggesting that H50 could easily run as long as NCIS since H50 was so good :-)
https://www.instagram.com/p/_aJ22XhK5e/
Just because I love Christmas with
the H50 ohana, here's another collage to wish Mele Kalikimaka!
It's not the last collage, by the way, since Christmas is not even celebrated in
many countries yet, so I need something to post on the 25th.
DECEMBER 25, 2020:
Here's the next H50 collage to wish you all Merry Christmas!
A great BTS clip shared by H50 crew
member Shane from a scene in episode 7.16:

Some pictures from season 3 of H50
DECEMBER 27, 2020:
Happy Birthday to the one-and-only Masi
Oka who will always be remembered as H50's Dr. Max Bergman!
Masi as Max was probably the only M.E. who managed
to make viewers smile even during scenes at the morgue - not to mention the
great moments with him outside the morgue - some of them can be seen in the
collage. I still love the scene of the H50 ohana dancing at Kono's wedding and
the episode in which Max trained Five-0 for the Tough Mudder competition.
Enjoy the view of these works of
art: H50's Steve McGarrett and mural art in Kaka'ako :-)
The photos from Kaka'ako are all my own. The (not very artistic) graffiti on the
wall behind Steve inspired me to blend in some real art - like those mural
paintings you find in the Kaka'ako district of Honolulu. Some of them are truly
amazing.
If you are on Instagram, make sure
to let ION Television know how much you love H50!
The show will be repeated on ION TV from January 8 - on that day alone, fans in
the U.S. can watch the first 18 episodes!

Happy Hump Day with Steve and
Kamekona!
Five-0 were saying Aloha to Chin's wife Malia in H50 ep. 3.02. It was such a
beautiful ceremony out on the ocean.
DECEMBER 31, 2020:
As we are counting down to the new
year full of hope, let's give hope to patients waiting for a life-saving organ!
Today's the last day to participate in the Christmas campaign by the Alex
O'Loughlin Fans for Organ Donation. Please participate by making a donation to a
great organ donation charity in Hawaii and/or by registering as an organ donor.
Both helps to save lives. There have been just very few donations, so far, and
we can definitely do better ;-)
