For loyal fans (and latent newcomers) of the great detective crime drama "KOJAK", starring the late Telly Savalas, it will be a joy to see the completion of the series and it's release to dvd! This was one of the few series that had strong scripting and acting talent that never retreated, up to and including this final season. Here is what we will have to look forward to when this is released on September 11, 2012:
The episode list is as follows:
1. THE QUEEN OF HEARTS IS WILD - The girlfriend of a local gangster who hates Kojak is the only witness in the murder of a police officer.
2. A STRANGE KIND OF LOVE - A psychotic murderer thinks that a radio talk show host is subliminally brainwashing him to murder.
3. LAID OFF - A laid off police officer with two jobs and a sick wife takes a bribe under pressure from a loan shark.
4. CRY FOR THE KIDS - A teenager accidently kills a gangster's hired hand while robbing him, only to have a rival gangster hire him to take out the competition.
5. ONCE MORE FROM BIRDLAND - A singer is determined to prove her wrongfully imprisoned father innocent after he spends 14 years in prison.
6. CAPER ON A QUIET STREET - A woman is Kojak's only link to finding $6 million dollars, but her boyfriend has other plans.
7. LETTERS OF DEATH - Anonymous messages begin turning up informing a model that someone close to her is in danger of being murdered.
8. TEARS FOR ALL WHO LOVED HER - Crocker falls for a woman while investigating the death of her husband.
9. THE SUMMER OF '69: PART 1 - A man is released from prison. A woman who drives with him to New York is found murdered in his abandoned car.
10. THE SUMMER OF '69: PART 2 - After Kojak is placed on suspension, he continues to review the 8-year-old case while a serial killer strikes again.
11. CASE WITHOUT A FILE - Kojak poses as a murdered private investigator in order to find out why he was murdered.
12. I COULD KILL MY WIFE'S LAWYER - A detective believes that his wife's divorce lawyer hired an arsonist to destroy his boat.
13. JUSTICE FOR ALL - While Kojak is contemplating leaving the department to become a law firm's investigator, a series of recent drug related deaths begin to overshadow his decision.
14. MOUSE - Kojak encounters a case where a highly respected surgeon may be doing unnecessary surgeries in order to use the money to pay off gambling debts.
15. CHAIN OF CUSTODY - Kojak is suspended after reacting to an incompetent district attorney who failed to convict a known killer.
16. THE CAPTAIN'S BROTHER'S WIFE - Kojak tries to protect Captain McNeil's widowed sister-in-law from big time gamblers.
17. NO LICENCE TO KILL - Kojak offers to help a jealous police officer search for a professional hitmam.
18. THE HALLS OF TERROR - Kojak and his detectives go under cover in a local hospital in order to investigate a string of murders that have been occurring while the victims have been on duty.
19. MAY THE HORSE BE WITH YOU - A retired police officer is injured after attempting to prevent the theft of a race horse that he illegally housed in the NYPD stables.
20. PHOTOS MUST BE CREDIT JOE PAXTON - A photographer becomes the prime suspect in a jewel theft and phony kidnapping of a former actress in which he photographs.
21. 60 MILES TO HELL - Crocker is taken hostage while trying to transport a prisoner back to New York.

Telly Savalas is absolutely on the mark in his potrayal of Lt. Theo Kojak, the rest of the supporting cast does such a superb job that you almost forget that this is a TV series, and not the real thing. One of the best police crime dramas ever made. Video quality is excellent. Highly Recommended

What a great show. This was a serious drama that minimized the on-screen violence and gore according to the standards of the time. However, it still provides plenty of excitement. The wide jacket lapels, the flared pants, the ties that could double as lobster bibs, and the hat with the lieutenant's only b/w checked police hat-band, the polyester, the lollipops, and all the other cool 70s atmosphere. This show dealt with serious topics, and even though it was produced in the 70s, I still wouldn't let kids below the 7th grade watch it. It has a classy leading man, with an excellent supporting cast. There's a reason this show is considered a classic. Kojak is well worth watching!
