Anyone else have love for this series? Darren McGavin's snarky reporter became a quirky hero for this kid (who's old enough to have tuned in every week for the show). Simon Oakland who I remember from Psycho and a few other films was just as great in his role. The only thing that bugged me was the that office dork was named Ron. lol Seriously, this show (as well as the two made for tv movies that preceded the series) left an indelible mark on mainstream television during its all too brief run. Some folks, myself included, will never forget the image of Carl Kolchak in his tennis shoes and cheap hat salting zombies and staking vamps (it's damn near iconic). Remember, before the X-Files there was The Night Stalker.

I too love Kolchak. I wasn't yet born when the series aired and I don't remember how I first saw it (musta been reruns) but I was hooked from the first episode I saw. I always liked Darren McGavin in anything, but Carl Kolchak is his defining role in my eyes.
