I don't know about you, but ...
Question: I don't know about you, but after watching the premiere of
Night Stalker, I really miss
Darren McGavin and
Simon Oakland (not to mention
Carol Lynley). The cast of the updated show is just so blah thus far.
Stuart Townsend is miscast. (
Bruce Campbell would have been a much better choice.)
Answer: "Blah" pretty much sums up my feelings about this unnecessary remake, which would be the low man on this season's sci-fi/horror totem pole if not for the unwatchable
Surface. And you are
so right that Bruce Campbell would have made a perfect Kolchak: appropriate in age, demeanor and, most important, humor.
