Wow.... We just lost Danno.

[kayakjohnny]

Bummer.

I liked the guy. Helen Hayes' son I believe.

Rest in Peace, James MacArthur.

3. i watched that show religiously

when there was only three channels on the tv i really did`t have a big choice...

[kayakjohnny]

6. Me too. I thought he was a mellow guy and probably pretty cool in real life.

Never would have guessed 72.

It sure makes me see the progression of time and of my own life.

That's for certain.

Love the music and the big wave at the opening of the show.

I was glued to it. Absolutely glued to it every single week.

5. Saddens me. James MacArthur was also in some wonderful Disney films.

7. Kidnapped

[Faygo Kid]

9. That's how I remember him. In the '60s.

He was pretty damned good,too.

8. I don't like the new Danno.

But the rest of the show is enjoyable and nice scenery from Hawaii.

10. No more Book 'em!

[JamesA1102]

11. He was a rabid Reagen supporter

He quit the original Hawaii Five-0 to work on Reagan's presidential campaign.

[kayakjohnny]

12. Didn't know that. Still don't. Is that something you can verify?

Oh well. I still liked the guy.

He had a decent persona.

And that won't change.

[JamesA1102]

13. Are you accusing me of lying?

Now why would I make up something like that?

14. Interesting if true... although using this quote not to affective....

"Personal Quotes
Among certain stratas of the population, there could be a backlash, but I don't think that actors getting into the political arena affects their careers. Just because one's an actor doesn't mean we should be penalized because we have a broader forum due to the nature of our business. Besides, I'm not so sure how much influence actors really have. And anyone who votes for a candidate solely on the advice of his favorite actor isn't too bright in my book. "

16. Again why would I lie about this?

I saw an interview with him when he was leaving Hawaii Five-O and he said he planned to go back to California to work on Reagan's Presidential campaign.

As far as the quote, when was it said. Do you think that maybe his views changed after working in the 1980 campaign.
