Kolchak - The Night Stalker (1974)

greatest show of the seventies

This show was great when I was a kid and it's still good. Funny and still a little scary. Now I have the joy of my son getting to watch these classics. He's young and he laughs and gets scared and sodesn't want to go to bed sometimes. He even said he wanted a blue suit like Kolchak. September 5, 2008

A childhood classic

This show had a lasting impression on me as a 10 year....it scared the crap out of me.
Seeing it as an adult I see how bad the writing is and especially the special effects, but still love watching it.
I now see why Darren McGavin quit the show !! September 4, 2008

Birthday present for my father

I purchased this item for my father's birthday. This was one of his all time favorite TV shows and was thrilled to have received it. He then proceeded to watch them with my 16 and 17 year old children. They got to see what "poppa" watched when their mom was their age and "Poppa" got to relive it again with his grandchildren! Wonderful set. July 27, 2008

Classic Science Fiction

The Night Stalker blends mystery,horror and imagination into one. Although this series doesn't have alot of blood or gore, the suspense comes from shadows, glimpes or ideas the stories portray. Some humor is added by Darren Mcgavin as the bumbling Kolchak. While trying to convince the police he is not insane or just plain seeing things, Kolchak manages to solve the murder or mystery of this once weekly series. Series was taken from the movie, "The Night Stalker", about a vampire who terrorizes Las Vegas. Some of my favorite episodes include, The Ripper, Chopper, Horror In The Heights and Demon In Lace. Series is nothing special by today's standards, but people who watched it back in the 70's will still appreciate this fine show. July 12, 2008
