For the record, as I am just watching the second of the Five-0 episodes I recorded today, I notice that the episode listed on my DirecTV list as "A Stranger in His Grave" (1978), which is episode 23 from Season 10, is in fact "Strangers in Our Own Land" (episode #2 from Season 1). So, Spike is trying to show all of Season 1 episodes in order, and someone (either Spike or TiVo or DirecTV) mislabeled it with the similar title from Season 10. Of course, I also noticed that the first two seasons of Five-0 are also available on Hulu (which I guess is somehow the most appropriate place to watch Hawaii Five-o), so I needn't have even bothered with Spike, though it helps as I need to do some work on my computer this evening. Also, from the ads Spike is running for their mothership, it looks like CBS is planning to pull a Starbuk in their re-imagination, or am I reading the clips wrong? -- TV or Not TV ....
