I wish Sci-Fi would show the Kolchak reruns again. :(
Rumors swirl that MGM will release the whole KOLCHAK series on DVD next year ...
"I wish Sci-Fi would show the Kolchak reruns again. :("
I turned my old computer into a tivo and recorded 6 of the Kolchak episodes(and then burned them to dvd). I'm waiting for scifi to show them again to record the rest of them.
I watched those a few weeks ago, really weird.
I saw a bunch of Kolchak reruns just the other day. You gotta watch out for them - what scifi generally does is pick a certain show and show a marathon of that show all day from 8am to 4pm. If you're looking to catch a bunch of episodes on tape, just pick a night of the week, and then log on to tvguide.com and do a search for the show, and you'll find out if SciFi will do any Kolchaks that week (I forget the actual title of the show - something Hunter?) Basically, if you turn up any at all, you'll turn up at least 8 episodes for that week.

Check A&E, they run them pretty often.
Kolchak Stalks Again?
Frank Spotnitz, one of the creative forces behind The X-Files, is developing a fresh take on the classic supernatural TV series Kolchak: The Night Stalker for ABC, the original home of the spooky series, Variety reported. X-Files creator Chris Carter often cited Kolchak as one of the inspirations for his own show.
Kolchak debuted as a pair of 90-minute telefilms in 1972 and 1973 and became a short-lived weekly ABC series in September 1974, with The Sopranos creator David Chase and film director Robert Zemeckis among its writers. Darren McGavin played a reporter named Carl Kolchak who had a tendency to uncover mysteries involving vampires, serial killers and other freakish occurrences, the trade paper reported.
It's unclear how closely the new Night Stalker will mirror the format and mood of the original, which was based on a novel by Jeff Rice, the trade paper reported.
