Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Kirpianuscus it is the role of Telly Savalas. this fact is so obvious than is very difficult to ignore it. because his Theo Kojak is always surprising and gives the right expected portrait of unconventional detective against the crime world. because it is the hero in his way, far by others recipes and formulas. the face, the gestures, the voice. Telly Savallas works each detail with huge and precise care and efficiency. and this is the basic virtue of a series who remains, decade by decade, spectacular.

Jo55 Great series! 30 years after, I always feel the same pleasure to re-discover each story. Just one regret: your list mentions 24 episodes; the box "Season 1" just has 22; 0/The Marcus Nelson murders and 4/The Trade-Off are missing. As I watched the first Season, there were a lot of stories I had forgotten. So hope that the 2 missing will be reported to another special DVD or box. By the way, starring Sgt Bobby Crocker was/is the best role for Kevin Dobson, except his terrific "spotted cravats", which (by chance!) did not took away anything from his natural charm. Hope the next series will be soon on the swiss/french market. Just for the pleasure to "crack for Crocker"!

Bullet-Tooth-Timmy Theo Kojak was and IS the epitome of cool. He was a top cop, he kicked major criminal ass, he sucked on lollipops to kick his smoking habit, and best of all, he maintained a crome-dome so cool and fashionable, Vin Diesel doesn't even come close! The late, great Telly Savalas brought to life Det. Kojak, and thus this creation was the precursor to all those hip "supercop" TV shows to come, with NASH BRIDGES bearing in mind. Who loves ya, baby? Kojak does.

batman102750 I have to say it was the best Cop Show of the 70's and as a matter of fact no one has made one since then. Sad to say no one will ever equal Telly Savalas in his role as Kojak. It was a show i looked foward to seeing every week and now the re-runs as well. I'm still hunting for the entire series of Kojak on DVD if thats possible or VHS. I dont know if the series was ever made the one from tv or not it would be a real collection to have.
