Night Stalker is a show that is seems to be repeatedly downed by some. It never had the chance to fully develop. Indeed, it did a surprisingly excellent job of distinguishing itself (yet embracing) the older 70's version. I for one will miss the "new" and more reflective and less gregarious Kolchak, and the beautiful and talented sidekick, Perry Reed. I really think her casting in the show is a problem for some, who probably are not accustomed to seeing a young, attractive, intelligent Black woman in a leading role that does not involve her being some hooker, criminal or other Aunt Jemima role. Just as a note-the x-files series, which I loved, started off with high ratings-but also had a chance to fully develop. ABC truly dropped the ball by putting a new show, with almost no advertising and a slowly weaving and developing plot against "CSI"-what were they trying to do-get it cancelled?

I'm disappointed they cancelled the show before it could fully develop. Was a big fan of the original series (even though i was a 'young pup' at the time).It figures ABC would cancel the show without allowing what few fans it had to see the 2nd part of the episode. 'Night Stalker' & 'My Name is Earl' were the only two new shows I enjoyed this season. If not for MNF I wouldn't watch ABC at all.

why do you guys hate night stalker so much? sure, the plot lines were horribly unbelievable, but it was still a good show. always kept me interested right to the end of each ep, which is more than i can say about lots of other shows, including *gasp* ... Lost (well, sometimes anyways)

I've been out of town on a business trip, so I didn't know the show had been cancelled. Bummer.

ouch...where did that Ashlee slam come from? Damn...harsh. Dont get me wrong...i agree...but damn : ) jeffro
