The old series was great. For its time. This is too "x-files" and blurred. The old series had Kolchak dealing with the more traditional monsters. This is too..."we know its something...but what?" Sometimes, sticking to the old formulae, but adding a new flavour is best. Overall, it was watchable, but not very entertaining for us lovers of the originals. Sorry.
Thanks! I like the new Night Stalker and I liked the old one, too. Sure, they're different, and Darren McGavin was an excellent actor and he portrayed a very different Kolchak. But this show is good in its own right.
It's too bad that the show was cancelled but, as they say, that's Hollywood.
Also, I note that Frank Spotnitz of X-Files fame was involved with the show.
one more thought i want to add...i wonder if the main reason the show didn't make it was that those who loved the original series- drawn out of curiosity to see this were somehow disappointed expecting more similarities and found little. the rest, unfamiliar with the character of Kolchak might not have really gotten the point of the character or the story. too bad though, like i said, it had some potential, and i'd have wanted to see a 'new' Night Stalker series. thanks for posting the episodes.
i heard about this pilot on tv before, but didn't have tv at the time. ironic that after watching old episodes of the original series with McGavin i hear about this one being cancelled and finally get to see it.
i have to say that the original is still my favourite, but this one had potential.
the new C. Kolchak's character is portrayed differently, but then again he's just starting out here and not sure how to do things. his commitment to find the truth is the same but he's just different.

SENIOR crime reporter?
Maybe junior...
Wouln't that have been more plausible?
Still,better than most TV-
unfortunately,not saying much,these days.
It seems that the more our communication devices increase,
the more our communication skills deteriorate...

this was a good series, hope they bring it back. any chance of such a thing happening???
Townsend's played the part real nicely and Gabrielle appears to be a real crime reporter!

Am I missing something? There was no denoument. No explanation. No finishing of the story in this episode. I feel like I was robbed of my time.
