    Those were the days. I loved those days. Kojak was and still is a great show in 2021. A man like Telly is nowhere to be seen in these days. Fantastic actor and a character with a huge personality. You never see honest personality these days. All fake, and all about the money and the future career. No one takes risks.

    @bhangrafan4480 Год назад +3

    There is a mystery about Kojak, linked to a second mystery, which someone out here who knows a lot about the series might be able to solve. It concerns the name KOJAK itself. I never thought the name sounded Greek, so I looked into it. It seems that one name KOJAK, (having the much more common variant KOZAK), is in fact the word "Cossack" used in Poland, Ukraine, and Russia. I was intrigued by this as a favourite horror film classic of mine was "Horror Express", made in 1972, only shortly before Kojak started. In this film Telly Savalas played a Cossack officer whose men fight against a monster on the Trans-Siberian express. This seemed more than a coincidence. This leads though to the second mystery, the never mentioned portrait on Kojak's office wall. In only one early episode in the first series (sorry I can't remember which) is there a brief close up of the portrait. I can just about make out the name "Captain Koj.... ???". I have always assumed that this portrait, which is never explained, is supposed to be Kojak's father, grandfather or some other hero in Kojak's family history. It implies that Kojak is a contraction of a much longer Greek name. Anyone know anything about this?

    I'm just old enough with a very long memory to remember how huge Telly Savalas was, yet that his singing was just terrible. He really couldn't sing very well at all. Now, while I've been blessed to keep all my hair in my now middle age years, I once shaved my head on a lark, and an older friend in my church congregation at the time would call me Kojak. "Hey, Kojak!" he'd say, and while I was only 4 years old when the series ended in 1978, I knew the answer had to be "Who loves ya, baby?"
