The producers of this show made a huge mistake in not making Officer Sandra Wells a part of the Five 0 team. Not only is she attractive and smart but she would have been a valuable asset doing undercover work as a woman can go places that a man can't. As a woman, she would not attract as much attention as a man when she's doing an investigation. How they missed this obvious use of putting this character into the show is beyond me.
At the top of my head I'm thinking it's possible that Amanda didn't get along with Jack Lord so no such idea of her having her having more parts surfaced. Remember he had much control over the show. And then maybe it had nothing to do with her or Jack. Jack only answered to one and that was the network (CBS)
Jack Lord disappeared from his fans, however, if you traveled to Hawaii as a tourist. You may see the man with his wife with his paintings for sale on the boardwalk. Jack Lord loved Hawaii help to make it a tourist attraction by playing Steve McGarett on Hawaii 5 0. Aloha!!.
Amanda McBroom was one attractive lady and they should have made her a permanent part on the show even if she didn't appear in every episode. In another episode the great John Ritter plays her brother who's a problem gambler in trouble with the wrong people.
When I see Steve had a broken arm.I remember many years ago when I was boy a small boy fell from a medium high tree. He broke his right arm.During that time medical expertise and equipment was not sophistcated as today. His father had to put back his arm in postion manually. It was a very terrible experience for him.
Sandi looks more like an airline stewardess than a cop because of her hat which I kind of like anyway. But where does she carry her gun and other equipment? There's no long shot of her so we can't see where she carries the tools of her trade. Maybe in her bag but it would take too long to get to them if she needed them in a hurry.
Yes they did wear that outfit. Hawaii didn't allow women on patrol till later in the decade. I believe it was around the same time LAPD started adding women officers to patrol duty. She was a cutie I'll say that! :-)
@@shamrock1961 Policewomen in Hawaii certainly did not ever wear caps like this one, particularly with their badges pinned to them. When I took my driving test in Honolulu in January 1971, the examiner was a policewoman, and as I remember she wore a blue short-sleeved shirt - no jacket - and a dark blue skirt. P. S. I passed my driving test.
