For these shows, I'll say no

I've just watched the first two episodes of the following three shows and they didn't cut it for me. Keep in mind this is my opinion without watching the whole season but enough for me not to waste my time.

Approach with caution the show billed as the replacement for LOST: The Event.
The show inspired by the twitter account: S#*! My Dad says.
Lastly, the modern day version of the 70's classic Hawaii Five-O.

The Event
Firstly, no show will replace LOST. Now that that is out of the way...
I cannot stress how incedibly bad the acting was in the pilot. It was painful. When a show billed as the one to fill the void in the lives of LOST fans has you wanting to switch it off 10 minutes in then chances are your show might suck. The only reason I watched the second episode was because the ending of ep one was really good. Really good in that there was a plane and something happened to it, which asked a whole bunch of questions. LOST fans, are you listening? Episode 2 answered one of the 10 questions asked at the end of the premiere and it was a damn good answer too. I really hope a month or two from now The Event is killing it and I need to give it another shot because I'm a sucker for shows that string you along for seasons on end. Until then, steer clear, the acting isn't good enough to keep you watching a show like this.

Since I'm comparing this to LOST...
(Don't blame me, the networks brought this on themselves)
Although LOST was nominated and won awards for acting, I think it was still an under-rated aspect of what made LOST so good. Locke, Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Ben... the list goes on. All great characters that draw polarising opinions from viewers. I just don't see that in The Event. That's a big fail... oh, having a president of Puerto Rican descent? Please nominate these guys for best original writing at the next emmy's.

S#*! My Dad Says
Since this show was born from some dude's twitter account where he posted funny things his dad said, it would pretty much be on life support from episode one. I decided to give it a chance since the dad is played by William Shatner, who I loved as Denny Crane in Boston Legal. Regardless of Captain Kirk's presence, I just couldn't handle the sub-par jokes and the acting by his son Henry (Jonathan Sadowski). I'm also growing to hate the laugh track in comedies these days. It kills me on Two and a Half Men but doesn't bother me too much on How I Met Your Mother... maybe because it's actually funny. Steer clear, there are too many shows funnier than this one.

Hawaii Five-O
Never watched the original but I do love the theme song. Remakes are usually ordinary or just plain suck but I check them out anyway. I had hope for this show as it has a LOST fan favourite in Daniel Dae Kim (Jin) and because it stars Scott Caan. Caan isn't neccesarily type cast in his Hollywood career but he seems to play a character of similar attitudes from Varsity Blues to Gone in 60 seconds to Ocean's 11, 12 and 13 and even his recurring role in season 7 of Entourage. So I watched, Caan was good, Kim was a decent super sub but, no. Steer clear, looks like just another crime show, except set in Hawaii instead of LA, Miami or New York.
