Night Stalker: The Complete Series (DVD, 2006)

I bought the complete Night Stalker series because I was unable to watch all of the episodes on TV due to the fact that it was taken off the air. I would say that this modern version of Kolchak is a darker & more intriguing version. Stuart Townsend played the role of Carl Kolchak with great skill. I am still trying to figure out whether he killed his wife in the desert or was a victim of demonic influence and/or delusion? This is a great collection of stories,especially for the inspired Stuart Townsend fan. They will not be disappointed!!

it was not what i expected. i expected a lack-luster rehash of the old 'night stalker' and thus assumed it would be silly.
what i should have looked for was that it was made by some of the 'x-file' people. they carried the style and professionalism along with good stories into this 'night stalker'.
fantastic filming and cinimatography [as good- maybe better- then in 'the x-files' or 'dexter'. great acters. great direction. real nice pacing. at times some of the stories seem that they should have been a little thin but they never felt that way.
it would be like getting a diet meal but feeling like you just ate thanksgiving dinner and need alka-seltzer.
as with 'the x-files' there is a deeper mystery going on in the background. unfortunatly the new 'night stalker' only lasted one season and so we will, probably, never get to see where 'the mark of cain' back story was going.
i guess that 'stupid' tv executives didn't know a great thing when they had it and used poor advertising and a bad time slot. i hope that it comes back but tv executives aren't that bright.

I decided to buy the Night Stalker DVD because I grew up watching the original with my Dad. The first thing I loved about this one is that it is the complete series(not just the season) at an unbelievable price. I was a little nervous about ordering a DVD from Ebay but the quality is first rate. There is no way I could have found a better value. I am extremely pleased

This 're-imagining' of the show Kolchak, The Night Stalker just never really found it's audience. I think if it had been given more time to spread its wings, the show could have easily picked up a cult following like the one a show like Alias enjoys. Alas, ABC's scheduling and lack of promotion made this a non-issue.

This series had a much darker edge than the previous incarnations. Kolchak is a murder suspect, and possibly a person who is predestined to be evil. Not your everyday hero to be sure. That's where this show was great. You cared about him despite these things, and you never really believed that he wouldn't prove to be a good guy in the end. The supporting characters all did a great job in their roles, and the writing was pretty much top-notch. The week to week stories we eerie and interesting, and the overall mythology was shaping up to be very interesting and complex. Of course, the show was cancelled just as it was hitting its stride, so we'll never know how great it could have been.

This was an interesting series based on The Character of Carl Kolchack from the Night Stalker series from 1974-1975. I wish that the series had one full year of episodes and I think that the show would have built up viewers watching it each week. There were some similar characters from both the tv movies and tv show and The 2006 updated tv series was good and you would have to watch this a couple of times to get a full understanding of the series.
