    Where is it?

    Like anybody is gonna be pronouncing it “zero.” I'll still say “Hawaii Five-Oh.”

  10. Thanks for the great pick-me-up after a long holiday weekend! I needed a laugh.

  11. Julia

    That's how it's supposed to be pronounced. But they are probably more concerned with making sure that when someone searches for Hawaii Five-0, they find the relevant information. I guess.

  12. Well, if they didn't use some disfigured oblong/sideways O, they didn't have to waste e-mails and webspace for the press release!

    Can't wait for the new Hawaii 50. It is Hawaii Fifty, right? Or is it pronounced Hawaii Five-Zero? Is this an attack against fat people?

    Regardless, this seems to be the most important CBS press release I've seen since the announcement of Gary Unmarried.

  14. It should be pronounced zero then, not 'O' LOL
    Is that a phone number? If it is, then it is an 'O'. The 'O' on a phone is not a zero, it is for Operator.

    0h, crap. Have I been using the wr0ng key 0n the keyb0ard all this time?

  16. Larryville_Slim

    It is pronounced “Five-Oh.” The “zer” is silent. :^)

  17. themurph2000

    Wait. What editor's note? All I see is the picture of Grace Park and some dudes. At least I think there are dudes in the picture. I'm not really paying attention to that side of it. :-P

    The answer to the last question at Hawaii Five-Ø FAQ explains it.
