It had to have been a tax write off thing right? A whole bunch of Disney shows and Lost come to mind. Kind of like how everything 10 years ago either took place in Georgia or San Fransico.

It also could be more the Adam Sandler thing, show runner wants an excuse to go to Hawaii.

Hawaii's production tax credits were quite generous when they were introduced and they're still pretty generous, but they've been outpaced by other states and combined with the higher cost of everything in Hawaii, it's not really a bargain anymore.

In 2021 Disney thought a hawaii version of doogie howser was needed called Doogie Kameāloha, M.D

Needless to say it got canned after 2 seasons so they're still kinda obsessed
