  • Some opening titles from the early and later opening versions to Kojak, but a very hard to find version of the theme tune- not even sure who orchestra is, taped from Radio 2 Nightride show in 1986... I defy any one to say it is on youtube already...Apologies for sound quality.

    TV show themes from the 70s were often meticulously well put together and enjoyable to listen to.

    This is from an album released in the late 1970s called TV's Greatest Detective Hits, by the John Gregory Orchestra. Also included were similar high-energy arrangements of the themes from Banacek, McCloud, S.W.A.T., Harry O and other popular shows of the era.

    One of the best cop show theme tunes.......EVER! Currently doing the rounds on ITV4 (I'm taping them while I'm at work, 'Magnum P.I.' follows after!!) Always loved this show and Telly Savalas was and always will be, a class act.

      Some outdoor scenes also shot in Los Angeles. Palm trees & California license plates were avoided, but, the 2 big give aways were Los Angeles red painted curbsides and phone poles. No phone poles in yellow painted curbside Manhattan. It's amazing how some of inner Los Angeles scenes can mimic the look of Manhattan.

    This was closer to the original one, at least to my nearly 65 year old memory. You know it's been so long since I have heard this, it's amazing to think it was 40 years ago. And it's doubly amazing to think that they were cranking out such great TV series' some anthologies with two or three seperate series running in rotation, almost a half a dozen 90 minute movies of the week. Where as now, you can bearly get a network to pony up enough money for thirteen episodes, never mind twenty-six to thirty episodes a year, and not a reality show in the bunch. And the themes were some of the best jazz based music ever.

    I don't blame you. It's these shows what's making ITV4 the most watched of all the ITV channels. The main one is now very bland and boring (has been for quite a few years) so much so they've even dropped the '1' from their logo! They show Coronation Street umpteen times a week (overkill or what!?) and only interested in their "breadwinners", Downton Abbey ( can't see all the fuss about this) and Midsomer Murders.

    Kojak was a hero to many of us that were teens and young adults then. Straight forward, no-nonsense, dressed sharp, strong sense of justice, and still able to charm the ladies. Seemed like Kojak was just Telly's personality coming through without having to do much acting. By today's standards, a detective like Kojak would be "politically incorrect" and in trouble with the news media. Things have really taken a tumble since Kojak's time.

    The opening scene of the NYPD police car reminds me of my brother-in-=law who who responded to an armed robbery and slapped a shotgun away from himself as he walked in the door of a store that was being held up. He didn't know of or expect the shotgun, just reacted. I'm proud of him....R.I.P. Uncle Louie U.S.N. WWII, NYPD
