About this episode
The episode discusses the procedural cop show Kojak, highlighting its style and impact during its run from 1973 to 1978.
We went to the grimy streets of New York City's Eleventh Precinct to hang out with the suave, charasmitic, and righteous Theophilus "Theo" Kojak! He's solving crimes and doing it with style. This procedural cop show ran from 1973 to 1978 and even had a handful of follow up made-for-TV movies that kept Telly Savalas busy. Did our crew like it? You'll find out on this episode! Next week, we're watching The Commish - S2E5 - Halloween in East Bridge. Streaming on Prime, Tubi, and other places.
