Kojak was/is the best cop show ever. Telly Savalas was the best man for the job. His charisma, whit, and cool demeanor was unmatched for its time and even now. I really wish the show stayed on longer than 5 seasons. Its very hard to find the 5 season DVD set. All I've come across is the first 3. I've seen all 5 seasons but only the 4th and 5th seasons once. This show is so good that you can watch it over and over and not get bored with it. Telly's (kojak) other movies and guest appearances were great as well. Check out all his other movies right here on IMDb the man is awesome as an actor and a person. He is/was the coolest actor on TV and when i say cool i mean everyone wanted to be like him. My friends father is from New York and he said in the 70's-90's if you were cool and bald everyone called you KOJAK... TELLY IS MY FAVORITE ACTOR. ENJOY HIS MOVIES IF YOU HADNT ALREADY. get this he beat out Marlon Brando for the Kojak job. Marlon wanted to play a tough cop bad but Telly came along and was the man for the job. Telly IS THE BEST.
