No TV show is perfect and Night Stalker is certainly not an exception, however, it was at the very least an intriguing, chilling display of interesting story lines, and above average cinematic character. In short, it was a good show. An interesting show. Perhaps a bit dark, and for fans of the 70's Kolchak, perhaps a bit too "cheesy modern" for purists. But despite that, it was still fun as hell to watch. The last episode that finally aired "What's The Frequency Kolchak?" was simultaneously chilling & exciting to watch play out. I for one, am very disappointed in ABC for not working with this show more. Don't you think it might take more than 8 episodes to iron out any wrinkles and develop people's emotional stock in the characters and their stories? That's the whole fun of sticking a series out, so that you can become involved, put all of the puzzle pieces together and when the season is over, you look back at the crazy ride you've had; the highs the lows, and you realize...that was a lot of fun! TV shows are here to entertain us. They're not perfect all of the time but we need to stop being so quick to cynicism, and suspend our disbelief for a moment. Why is American Idol & The Bachelorette more exciting to people than Night Stalker, Happy Town, and FlashForward? People complain about the lack of realism in shows like these but seriously, what reality show do you think is actually real? Give me a break. If you think reality shows are the stone cold truth, I have some ocean front property in Arizona to sell you. Didn't the Jerry Springer debacle teach you anything?! There are barely any decent TV shows left and if networks are not going to properly advertise and then make rash decisions after a handful of episodes how do they expect to have any successful shows? I suppose this quick turnaround is working for them. How disappointing for the viewer...
