Oh dear. I am not sure how to react to all this breaking TV news today. Item #1, and of utmost importance in the big scheme of things. From Reuters:
CBS is saying aloha to a new installment of “Hawaii Five-O.”
The new take on the popular crime drama, which aired on CBS from 1968 to 1980, is being developed by Ed Bernero, executive producer and showrunner of “Criminal Minds.” He is such a big “Hawaii Five-O” fan that he has the Ventures’ iconic theme song from the show as his ringtone.
Bernero is writing the project, which he describes as “‘Hawaii Five-O’ 2.0.”
It’s no secret that my favorite TV show EVER was/still is Hawaii Five-O. Item #2: look at this about CNN’s big reorg. Seems they are barking way up the new media tree. From a NYTimes blog:
CNN announced Tuesday that it would “double its domestic news-gathering presence” by assigning journalists to 10 additional cities across the United States.
But the journalists will not work from news bureaus; instead, they will be stationed at local television affiliates and other office locations. Using inexpensive laptops and cameras, they will file stories for the Internet and report live on television. One “all-platform journalist” will be assigned to each city.
The strategy reflects the increasingly portable and flexible nature of television production. Expensive bureaus with camera crews and satellite uplinks are increasingly being downsized by TV news divisions, in favor of so-called “one man bands” that interview, write, record, edit and report live.
So much new. So much re-vamped. So much changing outright. We just need to take a moment, take a deep breath and ask… what would McGarrett do?

What would McGarrett do?
That’s easy: “Blog ’em, Danno.”

McGarrett would call BS on the business of CNN “doubling” its domestic presence by adding 10 one-man-bands. If that’s doubling its domestic presence, then CNN had virtually none to begin with.
McGarrett would recognize that only the lamest of “TV news divisions” are using one-man-bands. McGarrett would ask CNN: After making so much headway against Fox, why give it up in a fit of foolish frugality?
Then McGarrett would admire his haircut in a mirror and bump chests with Capt. James T. Kirk.
