Night Stalker

I caught the last third of ABC's remake of The Night Stalker last night. Wasn't impressed. This show has little to nothing in common with the original series. Kolchak isn't a lovable loser anymore -- he's more like Fox Mulder if he was an underwear model. He's also not a loner anymore -- he's acquired his very own Scooby Gang. I can't imagine how the producers thought this reimagining was going to work. At least there's one benefit to this new show -- it got the original classic series released on DVD!
