“Hawaii Five-0” increased its viewership for the second week in a row as 9.02 million people tuned in Monday night to watch the crime drama, according to Nielsen ratings released today by CBS.

“Five-0,” however, once again finished second behind ABC’s “Castle,” which drew 10.36 million viewers. NBC’s futuristic drama “Revolution” finished in third with 7.02 million viewers.

Among adults 18-49, “Five-0” attracted 2.2 percent of the total viewing audience and 6 percent of those watching TV at the time, CBS said.

In contrast, “Castle” drew smaller numbers in that demographic, attracting 2 percent of the total viewing audience and 5 percent of those watching TV at the time. “Revolution” fared the best in the 18-49 group with 2.6 percent of the viewing audience and 7 percent of those watching TV.

HI5O has good acting, great scenery and colorized imagery a pretty good plot but lacking in some of the continuity in its flow from start to finish. The ending of the last show was pretty bad in its flow. For all the money spent and wanting to keep this show alive, the ending split between capturing the big ol bad guy, the crying girl and her mom and the two cousin 5-O partners in crime scene were mixed a little weak. Not by fault of the characters but by the edit room, director and music. Don't over do it on the music!! Only reason I say this is because I want to see it last. And they need to recharacterize MCGarrett a little bit as the lead and in control. And bring back the line Book'em Dano. People want action.

They ought to have a plane crash and kill McGarretts sister for starters, and all the rest of the stupid drama. McGarrett and Dano too much stupidness drama. More action is needed and more local people and scenery. I'am in California now and enjoy seeing local people and more scenery.
