I never watched this version. Darren McGavin's the only Night Stalker I'll watch.

[HoudiniDerek]

I have never watched the new one either.

Amen sister!

Did the new one really get cancelled?

[Maxwell - F.B.I.]

Yes, they cancelled it after only 6 episodes aired. Talk about not giving it a chance. To make matters worse, they also shut down the show in the middle of production (so only 9 of the 13 episodes ordered were even produced) and took it off the air IN THE MIDDLE OF A TWO-PARTER.

ABC sucks the big red one... again.

sorry, but i doubt it was anywhere as good as the original. I didn't see it but i really don't like Townsend. That sucks for you though.

Here's some good news for Nightstalker Fans (If any) that have the Sci-Fi Channel

SCI FI To Air Night Stalker

SCI FI Channel will air repeats of ABC's canceled supernatural drama Night Stalker—including three never-before-seen episodes—starting next summer, the network announced. SCI FI acquired all 10 produced episodes of the Touchstone Television series, which starred Stuart Townsend as journalist Carl Kolchak.

ABC aired seven episodes of the show, based on the 1974 series Kolchak: The Night Stalker, before pulling it from the schedule—in the middle of a two-part episode—because of low ratings. Night Stalker is executive-produced by Frank Spotnitz (The X-Files) and also stars Gabrielle Union, Eric Jungmann and Cotter Smith.

The show centers on Kolchak, a crime reporter whose wife was mysteriously killed 19 months earlier. Now, in the eyes of the FBI, Kolchack is the primary suspect. His determination to discover the truth behind his wife's murder leads him to investigate other crimes that seem to have some kind of supernatural component.
