About Kojak
Kojak follows Theo Kojak, a bald Manhattan detective with a lollipop and sharp suits, across five seasons from 1973 to 1978. The run continues with seven TV films in the eighties, then a 2005 reboot with Ving Rhames carrying the name for one season.
Watch the five original seasons in air order, then the TV films, then the reboot. Cases close weekly, but Crocker, Stavros and the captain beats assume sequence. The films catch Kojak older with new squads, so they play as codas. The reboot restarts the badge and can be saved for last without losing anything.
Good to know
Release order tracks Kojak's rank and squad straight through 118 episodes plus films. The 1985 to 1990 TV movies vary in cast around Savalas, which is why they sit together as one block. The 2005 series runs 10 episodes with no plot bridge to the original. Lollipop and interrogation style stay constant, so tone warnings from season one hold.
