The series was rebooted in 2005 starring [[RaceLift Ving Rhames]] in the title role, but was axed again after a single ten episode season. Creator/VinDiesel has more recently been trying to develop a feature film adaptation of the series as a starring vehicle.

Not to be confused with [[Series/KolchakTheNightStalker Kolchak]]. Or [[Creator/EastmanKodak Kodak]], for that matter.

* IdiotBall: In "One for the Morgue," the cops don't realize that a Mafia boss set up his own assassination attempt until they see him chatting with the hitman, even though they already know he was wearing a bulletproof vest at the time of the attack (which they concede was unsual for him) and that the bullets were packed with only small amounts of gunpowder to make them less deadly.

** In "My Brother, My Enemy", a young Creator/SylvesterStallone plays a rookie cop who accidentally shoots a kid in the night due to being trigger happy and scared. This was bad in itself, but he immediately fired an extra round into the wall and then dumped the gun so he could say that someone was shooting at him rather than admit he fired without warning. A jury clears him of the shooting but Kojak and other cops see the cracks in his story and it's the fact that he tried to cover up his mistake that gets him dumped from the force.
