Came out in 2005, starring Ving Rhames. Not sure if it even made one season before being canceled; apparently lasted ten episodes.
They are now trying to make a Kojak movie with Vin Diesel in the title role.
Actually, Vin Diesel is probably about the only one in Hollyweird who'd have big enough ballage to fill Telly's fedora. Same acting range, same screen presence.......OK, I actually could see that. Now, who could we get to play Stavros?
