Telly Savalas as Kojak - By: Rama Rao, 16 Nov 2007
The success of this show is illustrated by the fact this show is back on TV with Ving Rhames as Kojak. This is another successful cop show that airedin 1970sin the same era as Baretta, Starsky & Hutch, & Columbo to name a few. This show also offered authenticity & paved the way for NYPD Blue. The Greek, bald-headed, Kojak brought no-nonsense approach to homicide casesin Manhattan. While working cases with his captain Frank McNeil & closest colleagues Crocker, Kojak had a knack for bending the rules to solve a crime. There are 22 episodes of first season on three discs. The first season of the series shows appearances by some the best talents on TV that includes John Ritter, Paul Michael Glaser, Dabney Coleman & Harvey Keitel. It is nice to watch some of these actors during the initial stages of their career on a good crime drama. Any one who was a fan of 1970s cop shows would certainly love to have a copy of this DVD.
