How many girlfriends has McGarrettt had?
I think Nicole Wylie was kind of like a girlfriend to McGarrett. My favorite episode with Steve & a girl would have to be "Time and Memories" Lots of flashbacks.

I was watching the last scene of "The Singapore File" where Nicole & Steve were saying goodbye to each other at the airport and the sad music in the background almost made me cry. It was so sad.
The Lines from the Scene
Steve McGarrett: Aloha, pretty girl, aloha.
Nicole Wylie: Will I ever see you again?
McGarrett: Well, next time you have a vacation, try Hawaii. This is my beat. I'll be here.
When Jack Lord said that line "I'll be here", it made me started thinking that Jack continued living in Hawaii with his wife after the 29 years that episode aired. It just made me really think about him when he said that.
Be here. Aloha - Jack Lord (Steve McGarrett)

Pilot movie "Cocoon" (Episode #0)
The Hawaii Five-O pilot, known as "Cocoon," premiered on September 20, 1968, 6 days before the series itself began. Most fans regard the pilot as "Episode Zero." Following a creepy sequence with Wo Fat engaging in behavior modification on the American intelligence officer Hennessy, the show starts with McGarrett running to his car in front of the Iolani Palace as tourists climb the steps, a sequence which will become a stock shot, as will some of the following scenes where he drives through Honolulu, including one going past the Dillingham Fountain. McGarrett's first words on the radio in his car are "Five-O ... go ahead..." Some interesting photographic techniques are in evidence (the director of photography is Richard Rawlings) ... as Hennessy's room (Apartment 204 -- 26 Kilea Road) is being cased by one of Wo Fat's minions, the camera turns upside down. McGarrett talks to himself, saying "cocoon" as he finds scraps of paper in the room. Andrew Duggan is U.S. intelligence bigshot Miller and his boss, Brent, is Leslie Nielsen. Both smoke pipes, and there is some interesting overlapping dialogue between them. Miller says, "Everybody knows that Steve McGarrett only takes orders from the governor and God, and occasionally even they have trouble." McGarrett says "lots of chicks" visited Hennessy. Another interesting camera shot in Hennessy's grave at his funeral. Zulu as Kono Kalakaua seems rather subservient to McGarrett. When McGarrett tells him to "find the Quong girl" who knew Hennessy, Kono says, "Yes, sir." Later on when Kono arrives at the Five-O office, he has to be "buzzed" into the office by the receptionist and McGarrett says "Send him in." Kono is later seen stuffing his face. Danno is played by the forgettable Tim O'Kelly (he smokes, a habit which is followed up by James MacArthur in the first season), and Mitzi Hoag is McGarrett's secretary May. As McGarrett rushes out of the office eating, May says, "That man's eating habits will kill a billy goat!" Kam Fong arrives in the office, exclaiming, "Chin Ho Kelly strikes again!" McGarrett takes some tourists' picture as he goes to meet Miller after Hennessy's funeral. This meeting takes place on some viewpoint overlooking downtown Honolulu, which is odd, because after the funeral, McGarrett is seen climbing the steps in front of the female statue on the far wall at the National Cemetery of the Pacific seen in the main title. The viewpoint at the cemetery is actually near the other end of the cemetery, quite a long ways away from the statue. Later one of the feds tails McGarrett, which pisses him off to the extent of laying a trap, and giving him the first opportunity to utter the immortal phrase, "Book him!" (McGarrett also says the stock phrase "Whaddya got?" to the coroner earlier on.) McGarrett finally meets Rosemary Quong, who is played by the babely Nancy Kwan, supposedly a university student who seems about half McGarrett's age. He calls her "a pain in the ... neck," and she calls him "Mr. Fuzz." After McGarrett gets her to reveal that among Hennessey's last words to her was "the pier," he calls the Five-O crew into the office and plays back a tape of her saying this ... why doesn't he just get her to repeat the phrase since she is sitting right there? As McGarrett and Rosemary sip champagne on the beach (a rarity for the teetotaler McGarrett), she says, "I wish I could psych you out." She goes on, "Why did you become a cop?" and he asks, "Why did you become a hippie?" He gives her a deep kiss. McGarrett goes undercover to check out the ship where Wo Fat's deprivation chamber is located. A foreman trying to fix the ship with McGarrett says "We'll bust this bugger loose after lunch." McGarrett goes off on his own, snooping around, and is extremely noisy when doing so! He later reports to the Governor, played by Lew Ayres, and James Gregory as Jonathan Kaye, who is "Chief of Pacific Operations, Counterintelligence." During their discussion, Kaye says that McGarrett has two presidential citations. Later McGarrett and Rosemary go to a restaurant featuring the hula girl of the show's main title (Helen Kuoha-Torco, who was later a professor of business technology at Windward Community College). The Outrigger Canoe Club is dressed to resemble the notorious Barefoot Bar, which was too small to accommodate both patrons and a camera crew. Sterling Mossman's Barefoot Bar Gang performs the Tahitian number behind Kuoha-Torco as well as "Ain't no big thing," to be heard a few more times during the series. McGarrett gives Rosemary his key as he departs after more kissing. Alas, McGarrett falls into the clutches of Wo Fat and his assistant, played by Soon-Teck Oh. The camera angles during a fight with Miller are unusual, and McGarrett denounces him as a "dirty double-dealing fink." Wo Fat is oily: "As we clever Chinese say, 'the plot thickens'." Wo promises not to engage in any "medieval Chinese torture." As McGarrett begins to unwind during Wo Fat's deprogramming, he calls Wo Fat "Fatso." Fortunately, McGarrett has been "pre-programmed" by Jonathan Kaye's ace hypnotist and is able to save the day in the best James Bond fashion. The shot with Kono running on to the ship Arcturus with a rifle is featured in the main titles. Wo Fat departs on Pan American (not United, the series' airline of choice). The final altercation between McGarrett and Miller seems sped up at times. Wright Esser, who plays the evil Captain Schroeder (neatly blasted by Kono), will later appear as Interpol boss Karl Albrecht.
And they Painted Daisies on his Coffin (Season 1)
An excellent show, with Danno accused of murder after he shoots a kid and the victim's girlfriend sneaks away with the kid's gun. During the opening chase, Arthur Hee is seen briefly. The cops find "fresh pot" at the kid's pad. I wonder how the kid gets shot -- Danno fires at the door. Is the kid standing right behind it? When grilled by McGarrett, Danno says when he saw the kid's body, "I didn't know he'd been hit." But there is a bullet wound in his back that we can see when he's lying on the floor! Danno tells McGarrett: "It's a stinking job," to which McGarrett replies, "Who told you it was anything else!" McGarrett engages in verbal sparring with the Attorney-General (Morgan White). Searching for clues, Kono visits a massage parlor. McGarrett checks out the Club Hubba Hubba (actually in existence since the late 1940's at 25 N. Hotel St.), where one of the peelers tells him: "Catch my act sometime." McGarrett smiles. McGarrett and Kono take on a gang on the beach. Gavin ("Love Boat") McLeod plays the sweaty dope pusher Big Chicken, who utters phrases like "the law is cool" and "peace." In the hippie pad, there is sitar music and body painting. McGarrett tells the kid's girl friend she's been "apprised of [her] constitutional rights." McGarrett roughs up Big Chicken, drawing blood. I like the ending where McGarrett and Danno come "into the light." According to Denise Maraschin and Ilene Baxley, quoting a casting sheet for the episode, Che Fong is played by the uncredited Edward Tom
Deathwatch (Season 1)
McGarrett has to guard a mob underboss (Nehemiah Persoff, in the first of several such roles) who is going to testify and help convict his former superior, Joe Matsukino (James Shigeta). (The name "Matsukino" sounds made-up.) When the prosecutor's pregnant wife sits shocked by her husband's demise at the beginning of the show, McGarrett comforts her, saying "What can I say, hon ... what can I say." McGarrett later refers to a nurse as "honey" and his secretary as "love." Randall Kim, who appeared only two episodes earlier as John Lo, plays Oscar, a pickpocket. McGarrett is disgusted by Persoff's mocking attitude, screaming "Shut up!" at him. The headline in the newspaper at the end -- Headline Trial Witness Dies -- has no relation to any of the stories in the paper. The subhead on the same article is "Senate Nixes Registration." Too bad Shigeta couldn't have played Ricardo Montalban's role in Samurai
Once Upon a Time Part I and II (Season 1)
My nomination for best two-parter, best "human side of McGarrett" show, one of the best "contemporary issues" episodes, and best Five-O show, period. (This does not mean that it's my personal favorite, though -- see #192 and #121.) Ironically, not that much of it takes place in Hawaii! McGarrett journeys to Los Angeles where he takes on Dr. C.L. Fremont (Joanne Linville), a "blood-sucking" quack "naturologist" ("one who heals by helping nature") who is treating his cancer-stricken nephew. McGarrett comes under attack from his sister, Mary Ann Whalen (Nancy Malone) who thinks that Fremont is beyond criticism. McGarrett tells his sister that Fremont "couldn't cure a ham." The scene where Fremont tries to seduce McGarrett, who has come to serve her with a summons, is creepy -- Fremont takes off her lab coat, trying to make herself more sexy. When she calls McGarrett "attractive", and tells him "I need a man in my life again," he says "I'd rather take up housekeeping with a cobra." Fremont gives McGarrett a big sob story about her past, and McGarrett says he finds this fascinating, "like watching an auto wreck." After McGarrett's nephew dies, he cries copious amounts of tears in his Five-O office, saying to Danno, "Who the hell made me Big Daddy to the world?" Back in L.A., McGarrett does research in the hall of records, flirting with one of the employees, who he calls "chickie baby." (The December, 1968 date is visible on some of the death certificates he is checking.) The final courtroom sequence, with William Schallert as Fremont's oily attorney, has a conclusion worthy of Perry Mason. (Fremont's taking over the courtroom to demonstrate her computer is unconventional.) The music by Harry Geller is first class. Not much humour in this show, though the opening scene where McGarrett tells Chin Ho to sub for him making a speech is good. McGarrett tells Chin the speech will be on "law and order" and Chin replies, "For or against?" We also learn McGarrett's badge serial number -- 22082 -- and his address which is 404 Piikoi Street.
The Singapore File (Season 2)
One of my favorite episodes. McGarrett gets a call from a witness in Singapore, Nicole Wylie (Marj Dusay), who has had a change of heart about testifying against the Hawaiian gangster Revasco. McGarrett flies to Singapore and escorts her home, overcoming various odds on the way. The "teaser" for the show is one of the best -- it really keeps us guessing as to what is going on. When McGarrett first meets Nicole, she tells him that she "had to make a living" in Singapore. McGarrett grabs her arms, wanting to check her out for needle marks. He asks, "What about behind the knees?" and she replies, "Check 'em out, cop!" She later tells him, "Whatever you may be, you are not a gentleman." The excellent score by Stevens includes several motifs which will be heard numerous times in future episodes, such as the "memories theme" when McGarrett turns out the light on the boat. When McGarrett and Nicole as "Mr. and Mrs. Henry Collins" get close, he says, "Another time, another place, Nicole." She says, "I forgot you're on duty." When Chin is about to leave for the Philippines to help McGarrett, he says he will bring back Revasco's head on a plate, which is rather odd, since isn't Revasco already in Hawaii? The film climaxes when McGarrett and Nicole arrive at a Philippine shrine which is actually the Byodo-In Temple on Oahu. During a gun battle with various thugs, McGarrett fires at least 8 shots. (Incidentally, his hair is pretty messed up by this point!) The show jumps to a post-trial scene, where McGarrett is seeing Nicole off at the Honolulu airport, telling her "Aloha, pretty girl." McGarrett lathers up for shaving without using any water during one scene. A Capitol LP (same label as the Five-O soundtrack) is seen briefly.
111. Thanks for the Honeymoon (Season 5)
Original air date: 1/9/73
Patty Duke plays against type in portraying Toni, a tough broad in jail who makes a deal with McGarrett to testify against local hoodlum Manola (the very un-Hawaiian-looking Lane Bradford) in exchange for getting married and having a honeymoon, all under "protective custody." She says that McGarrett gets "right to the mother-lovin' point." When McGarrett and Manicote go out in the jail hallway to discuss the deal, it's quite likely Toni can hear every word! Toni uses the word "pregnant" (which she is). She describes herself and her boyfriend Marty (Larry Kert) as "like virgins." McGarrett gets romantic with old flame Margo (Carol Lawrence), a newspaperwoman who is covering the deal with Toni and Marty. McGarrett gives Margo a deep kiss as the "memories" theme is heard. There is even talk of marriage between the two! Of their past relationship, Margo says "we had something special going," and refers to McGarrett and herself as "consenting adults." The place where Manola commits the murder which Toni witnesses looks very much like the place where James Hong got knocked off in #24. Incidentally, Larry Kert & Carol Lawrence originated the roles of Tony & Maria in West Side Story on Broadway in 1957.
Season 5, Episode 111, ("Thanks for the Honeymoon")
I have just watched the episode and I LOVED it. I especially love where Margo & Stephen are on the beach walking and they kiss each other and also when they were in her hotel room. Mr. Stephen McGarrett was sure being romantic wasn't he? My dad kept teasing me that it was me and I laughed at him. I still can't believe Stephen brought up marriage. I'm planning to write a story where Margo did come back to Hawaii to see McGarrett and anyone guess what happened next?
Aloha
Time & Memories (Season 3)
This episode could be subtitled "Flashback City." An old girl friend of McGarrett, Cathy Wallis (Diana Muldaur) is the number one suspect in the murder of her lawyer husband Frank, and McGarrett ends up arresting her for lack of any other evidence. There are numerous glimpses into McGarrett's past relationship with Cathy, especially during the "third act." Interestingly, McGarrett doesn't look a day younger! Steve is so emotionally wrapped up that Danno even asks him to let the Five-O team handle the case for his own good, a suggestion which Steve rejects. It turns out the real killer is Martin Sheen, giving yet another snotty performance (see #43) as Arthur Dixon, a lawyer who was given the heave-o from Cathy's husband Frank's practice because he had the hots for Frank's daughter Joan (Kathy Cannon, who looks about 16). Sheen pulled off a scam with something called a "tie line" from Frank's San Francisco office to give the impression that he was on the mainland, then knocked off Frank and took a plane back to California and then returned immediately to Hawaii. When Dixon returns to Hawaii and greets Joan, he says "It's all right, baby," but his mouth isn't moving. I guess McGarrett is too involved with the case to consider Dixon a suspect -- why didn't McGarrett check Dixon's supposed departure time several days previously, which would no doubt have cracked the case immediately? There is mention of a real phone number -- 734-2211. At one point McGarrett plays his guitar.
steve mcgarrett was really romantic in this 1. mcgarrett's ol' gurlfriend, margo cooper, came back 2 hawaii. mcgarrett & margo walked on the beach talkin', then they stopped and he gave her a deep kiss, hugged her and then they held hands. also, they were in her hotel room when mcgarrett was sittin' up and she was layin' on his lap & they were kissing!! then, they were in the hallway and steve wanted 2 marry her. but she eventually left. my dad wouldn't stop teasing me abt steve. he said that the gurl was me. i told him 2 shut up. i wish i was married 2 jack lord, lol.

The episode, "Thanks for the Honeymoon" was an interesting episode because I have never seen Steve McGarrett act like that with a girl, ever. The only physical romantic encounter that I've seen Stephen do was when he was on the beach with Rosemary Quong ("Cocoon"). I can tell you 3 scenes (romantic) scenes that happened between Stephen McGarrett (Jack Lord) & Margo Cooper (Carol Lawerence).
1. Stephen & Margo were walking along Kahala beach (I think it was) and they were talking about things, they stopped, looked at each other for a minute, Steve put his hands on her face and he gave her a really deep kiss, they hugged each other and than the rest of the walk, they held hands
2. This scene is when they were in Margo's hotel room. Stephen was sitting up and Margo was lying down on her lap & they were kissing again, lol.
3. The last romantic scene with Margo & Stephen was when they were in the hallway. They were talking about getting married!! Then, Stephen said something & they kissed for the last time and then she said "Goodbye, Steve" and then she left.

Florida Georgia Line is my favourite country music band. Headliners Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley are those people that can make anyone sing along. It's the reason I like to visit their shows. And - that's surprisingly beatiful - in 2019 they have CAN'T SAY IT AIN'T COUNTRY TOUR which covers all the USA cities and towns. For tickets info visit Florida Georgia Line Tour Dates 2019. |
