We are still watching this one after 2 episodes. For me I don't need to judge/compare a reboot with the original. Nobody is stopping anyone from watching the original if that is what they want to do with their Friday evenings. As far as lite entertainment that I'm not being asked to pay extra for, I think it's fine. I like that they are tying in with the other CBS Hawaii-based show with having a few crossover characters and locations, a nice touch.
For the folks here saying they are outraged because Higgens is now a hot girl instead of a fat old guy... yeah, all I can say is if you are really into that you can come over and watch me mow my grass sometime, maybe I'll talk to you in a drab British accent if that helps...
