7 out of 10. With that score I deserve a visit from Pere Malfait.
8 out of 10 not bad , beat Uptight again
8/10
* Me too!
I loved this show. And after a while I loved it because it was bad enough to be good. Lol. Now it's nostalgic, so I still enjoy it. Ah, the 3 phases of Kolchak.
Do anyone remember a 2 part Wonderful World of Disney show where Darren McGavin played a Civil War spy? I saw it when I was kid; it was the first time I noticed him. But I can't remember the name of the show.
I think that was High Flyer Spy. Or High Flying Spy.
9/10
6/10…🫤
8/10 mostly guesses but I’m happy with the score
8/10, did a movie with Jerry Lewis
Yep. In "The Delicate Delinquent", McGavin is the cop who thinks he can keep Lewis's character from going down the wrong path. The role was originally supposed to be played by Dean Martin, but Martin & Lewis broke up before production started on the movie.
9/10
8/10 All guesses. I've only watched a few episodes of Kolchak, and I didn't think it was all that good. Might have liked it as a kid, but since I was eight in 74 I'm sure I wasn't allowed to watch it even if I knew about it back then.
9 / 10 missing #5. I couldn't recall his name on any director credits. His first (and only) film as a director was "Happy Mother's Day, Love George" in 1973 just prior to starting his acting run as Carl Kolchak. [He directed a handful of random TV western series episodes and a documentary, too]
8/10
8/10 A good day for guessing
Well, it would be quite cool were Svengoolie would show the original "Night Stalker" film. After the original television showing, next day it was the talk at school.

Wow! You're not kidding. That's a two hour movie you got access to uploading to YT. No easy feat, more power to your resources! The Kolchak fandom is very intense!
I proudly belong to the grammarians. Long live Wiseguy!
Why take corrections personally? I may learn something. English is hard.

Nothing wrong there. It's the style in which the corrections are delivered. I wouldn't group you in with some. Your comments are kind and fun.

I remember that, all the kids were talking about it. Good TV movie. The show, not so much. But he was great in the show, it was the scripts that killed it.
8/10 Guessed on the last four, missing #8 and #9.
I got 4/10. I got #1, 3, 5, 6, 8, and 9. I didn't know any about Darren McGavin obviously.
