Hawaii Five-O was a late night staple almost everywhere, it seems.
I wonder if anyone will be bringing it back to complement the new
series premiering on CBS?

Hawaii Five-O was a late night staple almost everywhere, it seems.

In this case, it was part of "The CBS Late Movie" -- syndication did not begin until around 1981. Shortly before that, however, CBS ran late night repeats of the series' final season, but under the title "MacGarrett", to avoid confusion with the syndicated reruns.
 
my bad....it was part of that CBS Late Night (and I use the term loosely) Movie package.
Later it was a late-night staple for many years on KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh.

Notice the local stations "burying" their local one-shot public affairs programming on a friday night of a holiday weekend? An old trick -- to satisfy the news department/public affairs director with their desires for prime-time public affairs/documentary programming -- sure, we'll run it! When no one's got the TV on... ;D

Then of course, later that Labor Day weekend as Sunday night/Monday morning rolled along you'll have the Jerry Lewis/MDA telethon preempting more network programming. Did some of those same stations listed above as preempting their regularly scheduled Friday night programming (even if it was syndicated) also carry Jerry's telethon that year (back in the days where it seemed like everyone on the Love Network carried the telethon in its entirety, as opposed to many stations waiting until Labor Day morning to start their local coverage)?
