Monday’s Guilty Pleasure: One West Waikiki

One West WaikikiDuring residency, one of my favorite mindless pursuits was watching One West Waikiki. It was originally broadcast on CBS in 1994-1996, but I ended up watching it late night on the Lifetime Channel.

One West Waikiki was a police drama set in Hawaii concerning police detective Mack Wolfe (played by Richard Burgi, later to play The Sentinel) and medical examiner Dawn Holliday (Cheryl Ladd). Imagine Crossing Jordan set in Hawaii — without the angst — but with a strong cheese factor thrown in.

It was a great show for a mind not in the mood to think.

UPDATE: Look…One West Waikiki Fanfic!
