How many Hawaiian and Las Vegas residents cringe and rolled their eyes if they watched "Hawaii", "North Shore" or "Las Vegas"? I haven't watched any of them and the promos they air doesn't entice me to watch them. Are they any good? I will admit that I watched "The Casino" on the Fox network. Not bad, kinda corny and hard to catergorize since it's not really a reality show and certainly not a documentary.
Ciao!

"Hawaii" gets an A for effort. It makes use, not only of the enviornment, but the Islands personality and cultural diversity as well. North Shore on the other hand, could be filmed anywhere else in the world and you'd hardly know the difference, it's a terrible show with terrible representation of the Islands. " Rocky Point", a show about a girl from Conneticut who comes down to the North Shore of Oahu to surf appears to be another lame show.

Thanks BIK(by the way, I read some of your posts - I think you were taking a break from here, hope you are over your burn out). The TV reviewers out here in the mainland(L.A. - the city that everyone loves to HATE  ) have mentioned similiar things about "Hawaii" and I may be inclined to watch only because I enjoyed watching the two lead male actors in other TV shows they acted in which was "6 Feet Under" and geez, I forgot the other show where the other actor was in a WB show - whatever. I'll take a look at it. The promo spot they use out here which I find sorta funny is the car chase - the cops are chasing the suspects and they are baffled as to why they're running away from them where there really is no place to go. Hope your Wahines have a winning season. Adios! |

" Rocky Point", a show about a girl from Conneticut who comes down to the North Shore of Oahu to surf appears to be another lame show. I was kinda hoping that "North Shore" the TV show would be an adaptation of the movie with the same title from 1987. Was looking forward to seeing Laird Hamilton, Nia Peeples, that doofus from Arizona who was the main character, and who could forget his buddy Turtle? Oh yeah, it had Gerry Lopez in the movie, too. Any movie with Gerry in it is automatically a good movie. Gerry Lopez is the shizzle. We were on the beach at Ehukai back when they shot the one scene where Arizona doofus takes his 6'2" twinfin board out to maxxed out Second Reef Pipe and goes over the falls. Then Nia Peeples comes riding up on a horsey and rescues him and shows him how to use the native Aloe Vera plants to soothe all his reef rash he got for being a doofus in the first place. I remember when that movie came out, everyone started calling Laird "Lance" after his character in the movie. LOL. For a guy as big as him, who gets towed into waves that nobody has any business riding, and who was banging Gabby Reece on a regular basis, he's got a really feminine voice. Haha. Oops...don't tell him I wrote that. |

North Shore the Movie was great. Remember this line..... "He's one haole trying to make it with one local girl he deserve what he get. C'mon Vince we go pound um!". "You took his stuff, you pound um."
Occy was da best in that Movie, cept for Gerry.

"You took his stuff, you pound um." Occy was da best in that Movie, cept for Gerry. My favorite line from that movie is when Rick Kane (the kook from Arizona) paddles out at Sunset the first time and gets hassled by the Hui guys: Hui guys: "Beat it, Haole" Rick Kane: (waves) "Howdy to you too, guys" Hui guy (to other Hui guy): "He's so haole, he don't even know he's haole" That movie is a cult classic. Chris (Won) Taloa was pretty funny as the local-guy-who-hassles-the-female-lead's-love-interest in Blue Crush. I remember him as a little kid doing his stand-up act on his bodyboard. Didn't he petition to enter and compete on his bodyboard in a regular surfing contest they held at Pipe (the Hansen's Energy Pro?) one year? |

If Kainoa Mcgee can lose the sponge for a board riding contest at Pipe, Taloa can do the same. Go sponge at Off the Wall, almost as much fun. I liked the end of the movie when Gerry Lopez gave Rick Cane the Shaka "haole Boy".... \uuu/ |

I liked the end of the movie when Gerry Lopez gave Rick Cane the Shaka "haole Boy".... \uuu/ I never liked Off the Wall, mostly because I hate going right. Every once in awhile I'd go left at Off the Wall, which is pretty much suicide on bigger days because the lefts there pretty much put you at the mercy of Backdoor rights coming at ya. LOL. EDIT: My all-time favorite is still the Ehukai sand bar when it's on. Sometimes it got so good, it was like medium-sized Pipe with a sand bottom. Gerry is da man. I'll never forget the first time I saw Five Summer Stories. A friend just sent me Step into Liquid as a present. Not bad movie, made by the son of the guy who made the original Endless Summer. A lot of the movie was offbeat stuff, like those guys who surf in Wisconsin, or the other guys who surf the bow waves of the Supertanker ships in Texas. But the Jaws footage and the Cortes bank footage (especially that one wave Mike Parsons got) was insane. Gerry Lopez was super cool in Conan the Barbarian as well. Arnold may have been the lead char and got to bang the cute chick, but Gerry was the coolest cat in that movie. |

"He is Conan, he will not cry, So I cry for him." Parsons at Peahi was Nutz, he should have kicked Gerlach's ass after he ate it, much too deep for comfort, especially at Jaws.  If you don't like rights you must have missed out on all the fun stuff at V-land and Rocky rights as well. |

But those places are always insanely crowded in the middle of the winter when it gets good. V-land definetely has a crew and if your not in it, you pretty much get wave-starved. Rocky's in the middle of the North Shore season has just about everybody from the hot pros to the up-and-coming guys to the kooks who wanna get their picture taken, all dropping in on each other. We usually hit the lesser known spots on small-medium days, like Marijuanas/Leftovers. Plus, being a sponger, could also surf places like Waimea Shorebreak or Log Cabins or Rockpile. |

I heard from one of my friends that worked for the North Shore tv show that the show isn't even filmed on the North Shore. If it isn't even filmed on the North Shore it just makes the show ten times worse because it's misrepresenting the name.

The only thing that interests me about Hawaii and Las Vegas is Blackjack! Heck with TV.
