December 30, 2008 |  | Telly Savalas, King Of The TV Cops! |  |
In my view, Kojak was the best TV cop show ever, period! Telly Savalas' brilliant portrayal as the tough talking, gritty and streetwise New York cop combined with a razor sharp wit and sensitivity gave him the human edge, realism and depth of charactor that has only since been rivalled by Denis Franz as Andy Sipowicz in NYPD Blue, equally as great (almost!). I still love this classic programme and savour every episode but it is a crying shame that Universal seem unwilling to release the other series onto DVD. The recent remake pales in comparison. I am astonished as I'm sure there are many other fans of the show that would love to have the other episodes beyond the first season and I for one would most certainly buy them.

This show, created by Abby Mann, had it all! Solid, street smart dialogue and the talent to render it. Heists, surveillance, double-crosses, moral conflicts-- everything that film noir was structured on. Telly Savalas-- it goes without saying-- was Bogart cool and created an indelible character in Kojak. Sorry to see that Universal is not releasing the other seasons, but was happy to find them on Netflix and have been downloading them ever since... I can't get enough of this show.

I have been enjoying season one of KOJAK and now I know why I don't enjoy today's TV shows. KOJAK takes you back in time when there is mystery, thrills and even comedy rolled all into one drama show. The reference to sex is subtle and not overly exposed. It is the type of show where you and the entire family can sit down and enjoy without holding your breath about the next sexual reference of foul language sprewing out. There is murder, but nothing compared to today's blood and guts. I throughly recommend this series and hope ther will be a future release of seasons 2 and 3.
