Nothing like the original, watched about 5 minutes, and had to turn it off. Damned shame.

Definitely not what I was hoping for, but it got better in the last 30 min.

Agreed.
And the first one of the original is a classic. IMO

Hard to top Darren McGavin. Simon Oakland was funny too.

My favorite old episode was probably the creature down in the sewers that the construction workers had disturbed. Other than that one and the werewolf on the cruise ship I dont remember any others. Oh ya..the zombie one who lived in the junkyard was cool too.

Yeah, that was a total classic.

I got such a bad vibe from the commercials (pretty boy, swell dude as Kolchak) I have decided to ignore it until it dies it's own, bland Hollywood death. The nature of the Kolchak character, crusty "school of hard knocks" reporter was central to the original's success, IMO. As much as that good for the times suspense and fright stories and atmosphere.
