Kolchak: The Night Stalker (1974)
Great memories!
I was eight years old when Kolchak, the Night Stalker came out, but every week I watched with awe and wonder. I'd watch with my blanket to hide under and my father to hold on to! I loved it! I vaguely remember the episodes now, but I do remember how much I liked Carl and Tony. I remember the headless cycle rider, mummies, and (of course)vampires! This show was great for it's time, and still plays well today. I recently picked up the DVD of the original movies (The Night Stalker/The Night Strangler) and a VHS of the pilot to the series and was able to relive the series. I was not disappointed!!! They didn't seem as scary, but now I was able to 'get' the humor in them, and enjoyed them from a new perspective! absolutely worth getting if you like vintage 70s TV!
Bionic Showdown: The Six Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman (1989)
The Best of the reunion movies
Bionic showdown was by far the best of the reunion movies. I grew up watching Steve Austin and Jamie Summers. When the first reunion movie came out, telling the story of Steve's son becoming Bionic, I had mixed feelings. It was great to see my childhood heroes again, but I didn't like the idea of yet another loved one of Steve's becoming Bionic. But Kate Mason, as played by Sandra Bullock, was much more unique, Not a recycled story, but one of a handicapped young lady, being helped by Bionic technology. I thought Sandra was great in this role. It's too bad the series didn't sell, I would have loved to see Kate's story. As long as Sandra Bullock played the part!
