I was in Hawaii the first time in the late 60's. I remember seeing some air scenes they were the filming over Pearl Harbor for the Movie Tora, Tora, Tora; It was weird see Japanese dive bomers swooping down near the Arizona Memorial. Also, we saw the filming a of a scene from Hawaii 5.0 and Jack Lord with James MacArthur (bookem' Dano) were chasing a girl who supposedly committed suicide by jumping off of a cliff. In reality, she jumped into a hollow in the lava caused by a local landmark known as the Blow Hole. It was cool to see the filming, but when I saw the final episode it ruined believing in anything I saw on TV again!
I was a great fan of Rat Patrol, until I learned that it was modeled after SAS operations in North Africa. Sorry, I don't have much use for those Brittish.
Has anyone mentioned All in the Family? Mash was great, but those two are the Gold Standard for TV!
