Kojak - the best cop show before Starsky & Hutch
The guy was rude, bald and probably a nightmare to work for; but we all thought he was real cool for a while. I think if I'd been on the receiving end of a "Crocker!" or "Stavros!" I'd have probably ended up with some sort of complex, but it worked well and, in between, the show managed to tackle some serious issues.I also remember it as one of the first shows out of the US where the good guys didn't always win.
Towards the end it started to get a bit preachy; but by then I'd moved on to Starsky & Hutch, so I didn't have to put up with it. For the first few seasons though it was definitely one of the best cop shows on TV.
