Tonight on Kolchak….
There’s something on the loose underneath Chicago! Could it be a …. killer lizard!? Kolchak’s on the story!
Sadly, all good things must come to an end and this was the final episode of Kolchak: The Night Stalker. Darren McGavin, of course, would later go on to epitomize the ideal middle American father when he played The Old Man in A Christmas Story.
This finale originally aired on March 28th, 1975.
I hope you have enjoyed this October’s trip down Kolchak Lane!

This episode aired on March 14th, 1975. It’s not one of the better episodes but, as always, Darren McGavin is a lot of fun in the role of Kolchak.

Tonight on Kolchak….
What happens when an oil company discovers new, undefined organic matter in the arctic circle?
Well, first off, they mishandle it and it ends up turning into a prehistoric, killer ape-man.
Secondly, it’s time for a corporate cover-up!
Fortunately, the world’s greatest (if unluckiest) journalist, Carl Kolchak, is on the case!
Anyway, this is an okay episode of Kolchak. If I don’t seem as enthused about it as I’ve been about some of the previous episodes, it’s because a killer, prehistoric ape-man just isn’t as much fun as a Cajun demon or a killer robot. Still, this episode has a nicely done, underground tunnel-set climax. Seriously, you can’t go wrong with an underground tunnel.
