Night Stalker Gets Staked

ABC has canceled Night Stalker, the second time the network has given the axe to a series about reporter Carl Kolchak and his pursuit of supernatural phenomena, Variety reported.

ABC halted production on the series, an update of the 1970s series Kolchak: The Night Stalker, effective immediately. The episode originally scheduled for this week will be replaced by a two-hour edition of Primetime Live. The original Kolchak: The Night Stalker lasted one season on ABC (1974-'75).

Six episodes of Night Stalker have aired, while three more episodes are in the can, including the original pilot. The series' ratings in the 9 p.m. Thursday slot, opposite CSI and The Apprentice, were predictably poor, last week dipping to just under 4 million viewers.

dang, it was just starting to get good. They cancelled it in the middle of a two-parter.

I dont know if the show was anywhere close to being good. It always felt like a poor man's Xfiles to me...but without the intriguing storylines and characters!

I guess that is why you liked it Tekken! I don't think anything could be as bad as the last four seasons of X-Files!

I have the unaired pilot, although I still haven't gotten around to watching it. I've asked my contact in LA to look for the unaired episodes (he works in a post production house, and all sorts of odd cool things show up there - like the 7 unaired episodes Eyes, etc.).

I don't have a set, but I know this guy in Florida who is a loyal fan. I only wanted a set for my nieces, but it appears that they have out grown the show and are no longer interested.
