Description

Actors Robert Conrad and Anthony Eisley starred as detectives in Honolulu, Hawaii fighting crime. Connie Stevens played "Cricket," a singer at the Hawaiian Village Hotel bar which the detectives frequented at least once a show. Poncie Ponce supplied comic relief as Kim "Kazuo Kim" Quisado, a ukelele-playing cab driver with "relatives" throughout the islands. The cast was rounded out by semi-regular Arthur Lyman, an exotica musician.
''Hawaiian Eye'' was one of several ABC/Warner Brothers detective series of the era situated in different exotic locales. Others included Hollywood-based ''77 Sunset Strip'', ''Bourbon Street Beat'', set in New Orleans, and Miami's ''Surfside Six''. In reality, all were shot on the Warner Brothers lot in Los Angeles, making it easy for characters—and sometimes whole scripts—to cross over. Although the shows aren't spin-offs in the traditional sense, ''Sunset'' was the the first in this chain of "exotic location detective series". In this regard, ''Hawaiian Eye'' was the most viable of the ''Sunset'' look-alikes, lasting four seasons. Hawaiian Eye Kevin Burton Smith

A limited amount of spin-off material accompanied the series. Gold Key published a single comic book, ''Hawaiian Eye'' #1, in 1963, which detailed an adventure of Cricket and Phil Barton. In 1962 a single novelization by Frank Castle also appeared on bookshelves in America.
