 - One of My Very FavoritesLong on my DVD wish list, it is beyond terrific to finally have this delightfully culty show on DVD. Dated effects, limited TV budget, implausible storylines - fine, whatever. Who cares? Its Kolchak! Its just a fun show, and one I discovered during a lot of late night cram sessions in college when the show started airing on the early incarnation of the Sci-Fi Channel. Heavy on atmosphere, some terrific dialogue, quirky characters, and most importantly, wonderful actors like Simon Oakland and especially the infectiously charming Darren McGavin. If ever an actor and a character were made for each other, its McGavin and Kolchak. He's impossible not to like. A true television star, because you wanted to watch him week in and week out. If you're a fan, you know already know exactly what I mean. Rating: - the night stalkerwhat a classic very thrilling and on the edge seat type of movie great for rainy days i wish they made these kind of movie today Rating: - greatest show of the seventiesThis 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. Rating: - 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 !! Rating: - Birthday present for my fatherI 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.
