Through the past five years, Hawaii Five-0 has often honored the original series, which ran on CBS from 1968-1980, with references to its predecessor hidden within the episodes. In celebration of the 100th episode that airs Friday, November 7 (9 p.m. ET/PT), below is a list of those nods to the legendary original series hidden within the current one. 1.
