The WerewolfIf you like, the overworked, non-creative style of the old networks grasping at straws to keep the TV viewers interested than this is for you. The werewolf was so corny the producers themselves decided to show the monster from far away or up close for a brief second. To think I use to watch these episodes and think how cool they were. But then again a lot was not happening in the seventies if you catch my drift. Sorry, I really liked them when I was younger..Score: 1/5
Kolchak!One of my most favorite TV Shows ever. Acting and made for TV viewing will never be as sincere and so cool as this one. My wife and I were hooked right away when this classic aired. Thanks to Darin McGavin, producers and iTunes for the memories..Score: 5/5
This Show Kept me up All my Childhood nites & some of my Adult ones too!!The one I remember haunting me was the one about the Doppleganger. I don't know the title, but I do remember the fella looking down from a window and skooting back and forth with the most sinister look on his face....oooh, I get chills now! Carl and his boss add a ton of humor amongst the terror, but it doesn't matter, your bound to see someone to help cure you of your fear of closing your eyes! The actors who were these "monsters" were great! The Ripper, Vampire and others will keep you up @ night too! I promise! ...wait, was that a noise? Is someone in the shadows? Are you sure you are alone in the dark?.Score: 5/5

Sci Fi Flashback SupremeThis is quintessential Night Stalker. Doesn't take itself too seriously, just spooky enough to be rather creepy, embodies great elements of everything from the golden age of radio and classic gumshoe riddlers to the 70s cop show phenom. Chopper was the episode I, my brothers and friends remembered and talked of for years to come..Score: 5/5

This series is a must!This series has inspire many shows of the past decade as we know like the X-files, Millennium, and now in production The Dresden Files which aires on Scifi late 2007. This was the prime late night series worth staying up for. Darren McGavin & Simon Oakland great chemistry, and Richard Matheson flair on terror..Score: 5/5
Love this, but where are origional episodes?This was an incredible series. It was far ahead of its time. I was very glad to see it in iTunes. I am however distressed that there are several early episodes missing that were really the best of the series. #1 was the original pilot episode (The Vampire in Las Vegas), and #2 (Jack the Ripper in Seattle’s underground city). The Seattle one was the best episode they ever made. I think it may have been considered a Pilot as well. There was one other episode made before it became a series based in Chicago, but alas I can’t remember what it was about. Hopefully there are plans to bring these gems to iTunes soon..Score: 5/5

Too Pricey!I remember this show quite fondly. It was a shame that it lasted only one season. I would purchase the season but not for $40. It’s too much..Score: 5/5
CorrectionJust to be clear, the second Kolchak movie was called "The Night Strangler" and yes, both movies were excellent and were the reason this series was later produced. They should be added to the iTunes library..Score: 5/5
Classic 70s seriesClassic series that was a precursor to such series as 'The X-Files.' Darren McGavin is excellent in the title role, as are the supporting cast --especially Simon Oakland as Kolchak's editor Tony Vincenzo. Well worth checking out for fans of the SF/horror/suspense genres, especially from the 1970s..Score: 5/5

Totally unmissable.This 1974 ABC Series is monumental. It's origins lie in an unpublished novel The Kolchak Papers by Jeff Rice, becoming two TV Movies The Night Stalker (1972) and The Night Strangler (1973). Richard Matheson, of I Am Legend fame wrote both TV movies. In the history of SciFi/Fantasy genre TV, there have been few true Classic series. In pure SciFi it has to be Quatermass for starting the whole thing off, Star Trek for all of its formulaic weaknesses, Dr Who for all its inconsistencies (and a few brave words for Blakes 7) and the Twilight Zone for capturing the effect of Pulp SciFi in the televisual format. In Fantasy there are the UK giants of The Avengers, a TV show that plundered multiple genres with irreverance but which lived in the fantasy world after Series 3, and The Prisoner (such a colossus that nothing else has tried to copy or emulate it - until now, an good luck with that) and from the USA Kolchak, the titanic forefather of the X Files, of Threshold and now of Fringe. Involving excellent acting form an under-rated master of TV, plots that would not look out of place in both Science Fiction novellas and EC or Amazing Comics but filmed with a real feel for the darkness rarely seen on prime time US television. OK so it was heavily monster of the week, but this was (is!!) Netwotk TV. Not to be missed..Score: 5/5
