The Mad American Wrote:As I was watching the NBA finals last night (Go Spurs, not a fan just really really don't like the Pistons) ABC was playing ads for their new series, "The Nightstalker" It is a remake of the 70's Nightstalker with Darin McGavin.
It is being done by the creator of the X-Files Chris Carter so I am holding out hope it will be as good as I remember the original being.
I used to love that show.

Who will play Kolchak? I hope they show the same sense of humor that the original displayed! Of course the FX will be better, but part of the charm of the original lay in Darrin Mcgavin's wit and humor.

On the old forum, I posted a thread where I said Townsend would make a good Rasolom. I still think so.

How good an actor is Townsend? I was not impressed by whatever vampire movie he was in.
