Comments

It was during ^the 8th episode (season 1) Kojak appears that for the first time with a pacifier in his mouth. A Crocker who asks: "What are those suckers?" He replied: "I want to divide generations ...". For Telly Savalas, this is actually a method to quit smoking.

A remake was created in 2005. The hero is still bald, immaculately dressed and fond of lollipops, but it was replaced by an African-American actor, Ving Rhames. The series lasted only one season.
