  Yes, I think ITV4 showed the pilot episode of Kojak at the weekend. It's not available on the Season One boxset though.

  I used to watch it Saturday nights on bbc1. I think for its time
  It was a bit more hard hitting as far as American TV detective
  Dramas go.
  My dad always loved his suits and would joke how he could
  Afford those hand made suits on a cops pay.
  Savalas was a really talented actor, and I watch anything with
  Him in it. From the crazy soldier in The Dirty Dozen to the smooth
  Menace of his Blofeld.

  Yes, also two Bonds with Moore and. Niven! {[]
  I'd say that was a fun film to make.

  I was a big Kojak fan from the very beginning. I was already a Savalas fan by virtue of his work in The Dirty Dozen, Kelly's Heros and especially On Her Majesty's Secret Service. So when I saw the Kojak pilot film The Marcus-Nelson Murders and then learned Kojak would be a regular series, I was ecstatic. I never missed an episode during the entire first run of the series, and I remember getting a special kick out of hanging around locations in New York as exterior scenes were occasionally shot there. What a great series, what a great character and what a great actor! -{

  I loved Kojak mainly for the images from the far away country USA.
  The series planted my desire to visit Manhattan and I was very fortunate when I finally did it some years later.
  
  Didn't know that Savalas was Anniston's uncle -{

  Just bought Season 2 of Kojak as well. Watched the last of the 25 episodes first, 'I Want to Report a Dream', as it guest starred Columbo actress Ruth Gordon as a psychic who reports a a dream she had of a murder. She'a a great actress who played Abigail Mitchell in Columbo: Try and Catch Me (1977).
