Book 'em, Moonves. CBS will revive beloved '70s cop show Hawaii Five-O, breathing new life into a series well remembered for its catchy theme song and straight-arrow leading man Jack Lord. Superstar screenwriters Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, known for recently penning the J.J. Abrams-directed smash hit Star Trek, are signed on to write the pilot. (No word yet on who might star as McGarrett, Kono, or Danno.) Hawaii Five-O, which debuted in 1968 and ran for 12 years, was the longest-running crime drama in television history until Law & Order overtook it in 2003.
