MAN! Kolchak was the best damned show, no matter how cheesy it looks now. It was DIFFERENT, and really made an impression on me as a kid. Richard Matheson who wrote the two TV movies is a genius, and those two movies still hold up today.

And just this week I had to sell my Kolchak DVDs for quick cash. :( (Good thing I copied them.)

When I received a fairly prestigious journalism award for my coverage of the Desert Shield/Storm/Sabre efforts in the sandbox in 1991, I gave a very few words of thanks, and noted that when I was going through journalism school and immediately afterward, all the kiddies wanted to be like Woodward and Bernstein, as portrayed by Dustin Hoffman and Robert Redford. But not me, I told 'em: I wanted to be a Carl Kolchak or a *Flash* Casey.

Most of 'em knew who the first one was, fewer were aware that the same actor had portrayed the Boston Express photog who was the second.

This nut THINKS he's a vampire...



We all have rats, sir. You should see the one I work for.
