Title: A good show - but not the Night Stalker I remember
Product review: Perhaps naming this new program "The Night Stalker" was a disservice that contributed to the program being cancelled after the first season. Those of us who remember the classic old series starring Darren McGavin are likely to be disappointed. I know I was. The bumbling nature of the original Kolchak character was part of the show's charm. He stumbled into supernatural situations and just barely pulled through each episode with his life.If the new show had aired under a different name I think it would have been a great success. The program delves into some creepy stuff - and as some other reviewers have mentioned it has definite "X-Files" overtones. I was disappointed that it wasn't the "old" Night Stalker, but enjoyed it enough to add it to my video collection.
