Comments

It is during the 8th episode (season 1) that Kojak appears for the first time with a lollipop with the mouth. With a colleague who asks him: " It is what these lollipops? " He answers: " I want to reduce the fracture of the generations… ".

The second series is a remake of the first. The hero is always bald person, impeccably vêtu and amateur of lollipops, but it was replaced by an actor Afro-américain.
