on the titles to order - huge discounts TV DVDs: Kojak Season One Perhaps the seminal 1970's TV cop show, Telly Savalas starred as the follically challenged, lollipop crunching police lieutenant Kojak in one of the polyester decade's grittiest crime dramas. The series debuted in 1973, so this first season collection captures the feel of New York City in the early-seventies (even if most of the show's interiors were shot in LA). One of the things I like best about Universal dramas of that era is that they did a lot of location shooting, lots of scenes of cars traveling down the streets, characters walking into various real-life establishments. It gives you a chance to recognize old neighborhoods if you lived in the cities where the shows were shot. The high-speed chase scenes and shoot-outs filmed for Kojak serve as a reminder of just how trashy the City looked in the seventies! In this low priced set you get 22 one-hour episodes on three discs. The first episode features guest star Harvey Keitel, other notable first season guests include familiar 1970's TV actors like Hector Elizondo, Art Metrano, Scatman Crothers, Paul Michael Glaser, Yvonne Craig, Jackie Cooper, Harry Guardino, Malachi Throne, John Hillerman along with a funny episode with Ruth McDevitt and John Ritter. Lola Albright, the pretty blonde from Peter Gunn also turns up. For some reason, this collection doesn't contain the pilot movie, The Marcus-Nelson Murders, which was broadcast in early 1973. True fans of 1970's TV drama will certainly want at least the first season of Kojak in their library for all the tire sqealing fun. KOJAK Telly Savalas - Lt.
