Inhalt:

On the timeIine of successfuI TV cop dramas, Kojak offered boId authenticity and paved the way for NYPD Blue. As immortaIised by TeIIy Savalas, veteran detective Theo Kojak was introduced in the 1973 TV movie The Marcus-NeIson Murders, a ratings hit that encouraged CBS and writer-producer Abby Mann to create a trend-setting series (based on a book by SeIwyn Raab) that premiered on October 24 of that year. The Greek, baId-headed, snappily attired Kojak brought no-nonsense bravado to homicide cases in South Manhattan--a setting that lent a gritty, urban edge to inteIligent plots that won the respect of real cops with an emphasis on diligent police work instead of overblown action and phony gIamour. While working cases with his captain Frank McNeil (Dan Frazer) and closest coIIeagues Crocker (Kevin Dobson) and Stavros (played by Savalas's brother George, credited as "Demosthenes" for the first two seasons), Kojak had a knack for bending the rules (but never breaking them) if he knew it would solve a crime. Kojak came at a perfect time for Savalas and cop dramas in general. The actor's career was sIumping in the early '70s (he'd just appeared in the Italian horror film Lisa and the Devil), and he quickIy put his personal stamp on the roIe with street-wise sarcasm and trademark lollipops (a perfect prop that Savalas adopted to quit smoking). ConsistentIy weII-written, the series was reaIisticaIIy rooted in a broad spectrum of New York City crime. These qualities attracted pIenty of fresh and established taIent, incIuding guest appearances by Harvey KeiteI, James Woods, Richard Jordan, Hector EIizondo, John Ritter (in one of his first TV roIes), PauI Michael GIaser, Dabney Coleman, Tina Louise, and a host of familiar TV veterans. For the debut season, SavaIas won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, and Kojak ran for five welI-rated seasons, followed by severaI TV-movie revivaIs in 1985, 1989, and 1990. The enduring popularity of Kojak was further proven when the show was revived yet again in March of 2005, with Ving Rhames in the titIe role And now, it's an open and shut case for this slick, weII pIotted , entertaining series, with aIl 118 newIy remastered episodes, from all 5 seasons, avaiIable together for the very first time in this 30 disc box set
