I grew up watching the original Kolchak. The new Night Stalker just won't be the same. :-)

Darren McGavin was one of a kind. America in 2005 just doesn't have the panache ...

I saw Stuart Townsend in "League". I'm sure he'll bring something new and interesting to the part. (I'm guessing he's not going to be the sloppy reporter-style type that McGavin played... lol... but I could be wrong).

Great TV show.
Related: does anyone remember the TV show, around the same time, where the Air Force investigators were checking out UFO sightings and abductions? I can't remember the name of the show, but I remember a line from the beginning credits:
"Ezekiel saw the wheel. This is the wheel he said he saw."
Does anyone know what show I'm talking about?

He's a terrible choice, completely changing the tone of the show. Now it's going to be Buffy-type fantasy crap, instead of a weird mix of horror and newspaper-detective noir.
Your recommendations are good ones. I recently watched the two TV movies on DVD and they hold up well, very entertaining, especially if you like the quaint 70's setting. Interesting, too, how the series messes with the backstory set up in these two films, if I recall correctly.
The screenwriter of these was Richard Matheson, one of the great American fantasy/horror writers--he wrote, among MANY others, Duel, Trilogy of Terror, the Twilight Zone episodes "Little Girl Lost," "Third from the Sun," the one with William Shatner seeing the gremlin on the wing of the plane, as well as Incredible Shrinking Man, I Am Legend (Omega Man), etc. etc .etc.

I am a fan of the two tv movies and went to great lengths to assemble the tv series from Columbia House releases several years ago. The TV show was a huge letdown, ranging from ok episodes (rare) to flat out bad episodes (much more common).
The Night Stalker and the Night Strangler tv movies are great and very good, respectively. The TV show suffered almost from the get-go. It was nowhere near as good as I remembered it.

Yeah, Dan Curtis was not involved in the series, even though he created the movies.

Wow, I NEVER would have gotten that. That cluster of brain cells must have died long ago. Thanks!

You're welcome, if that's the one--Jack Webb produced but did not star in it, btw.
I have an incredible memory for useless info, and NO memory for important stuff. Go figure.

Yeah, I just saw that over at IMDb. That and Kolchak only lasted one season. I thought they were on much longer.
