Movie Reviews of Kojak - Season OneMovie Review: great! give us more! Summary: 5 Stars
I'm digging the new Kojak with Ving, but the original classic is fantastic and I'm thrilled to have it on DVD. Kojak is a special kind of detective. The new and classic Kojaks are both stylish "prince of the city" types who protect the innocent and bend the rules to do what's right. The "prince of the city" was an unusual angle for a cop show when Telly did it. It's still pretty unusual today. TV cops these days are even less likely to be that protective or altruistic, but both the classic and new Kojak are stylish, sharp witted, good hearted, and damn good at keeping the mean streets of the Big Apple safe. Kojak is a class act and it's impossible for me not to like both versions of the character. There's no other detective quite like Kojak. I sincerely hope they release all of Telly's Kojak episodes and tv movies on DVD. The more Kojak the better!
Movie Review: One of the greatest TV shows of all-time! Summary: 5 Stars
Until I purchased the first season of Kojak on DVD, I never watched a single episode. I did know who Telly Savalas was as Big Joe on Kelly's Heroes and as Blofeld from On Her Majesty's Secret Service. My grandmother talked me into picking up this box set, and I couldn't stop watching it. Unfortunately, I was informed a short while afterwards that Universal Studios has no plans at this time to release any more seasons of Kojak. What a huge disappointment! Kojak is Telly Savalas at his finest, and if you love a good law enforcement show, look no further than Kojak.....he's tough, intelligent, never bites his tongue, and always gets results.
Movie Review: Excellent Season One DVD set - Pilot Episode not included Summary: 5 Stars
This complete first season DVD set of Kojak is wonderful. There are no extras, but the episodes are complete and uncut. Really takes me back to my teen years in the 70s. I loved this show along with Hawaii Five-O and other classics of the era. Sadly, the movie length pilot for Kojak, entitled The Marcus-Nelson murders, is not included with the Season One release. It is also an excellent Kojak story and Telly Savalas had already set the tone for the character in the pilot. Hopefully all the Kojak seasons will be released in complete sets. Would love to see the pilot released as an extra with a future complete season set.
Movie Review: ONE OF THE BEST 70's DETECTIVE SERIES... EVER!!! HELP, I'M ON A KOJAK BINGE!!! Summary: 5 Stars
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.

Movie Review: Classic 70s Cop Drama Summary: 5 Stars
I have recently been turned onto this show by the Hallmark Channel's "Mystery Sunday" (MacMillan & Wife, Banacek, Kojak, Hawaii 5-0). Since I was in pre-school when this show originally aired, it is wonderful to watch as an adult to see a slice of the 70s. NYC looks so much nicer back then, sleaze & all. Sure, some of the scripts are iffy & the acting occasionally over the top, but it is such a fun show!!Who loves ya baby? We do! Let's get this series released on DVD ASAP!!
