crat-2 You know, I always remember this show because it was a part of the triple K's that was on during that time. Kolchak, Kojak, Kodiak. If I remember it right, Kodiak came on Friday nights. I didn't know it replaced the Brady Bunch, of course, I was watching Sanford & Son by then. Also, I didn't know Clint Walker stared in it. I thought it was a some what smaller native American Ranger, who drove a jeep, and used some unique form of martial arts to foil crime in the north west area. Well, at any rate, I do remember, and gladly not the only one, to also remember that there was a T.V. show named Kodiak in the early 70's. Hey!Perhaps my memory of the native American in that role would make a good show now.
Anirishmanstale Yes........Remembering when there was a time that television at least was making an attempt at being adventurous and exciting. Even if it was on a hokey family level. Now we have been reduced to seeing prime time become infested with the dreadful likes of the reality show revolution. Watching fat people work out and whine about how much being a porker has ruined their lives. Or, licking our chops at seeing the back stabbing behind the back two timing that is the very life breath of shows like "Survivor". Not even the situation comedy seems likely to survive the venomous infection that is realty TV. What chance does an old fashioned family drama have. If its all the same to you, I will catch a rerun of Kodiak. If there ever is one....
STEVE The reason I searched for this show is I recalled it as having been on TV in 1976. Evidently I was in error. OK....I vaguely recall this forgettable junk.... Clint(Hercules)Walker on a snow-mobile? The opening narration went something like this...."The Big Man lives in a Big Land, has a Big Job",etc.,etc.,etc. My step-brother and I would add our own narration..."The Big Man lives in a Big Land, has a Big Job, drives a Big Truck,lives in a Big House,eats a Big Meal, and takes a Big S**t, Big Deal !!" Now wouldn't that have been more memorable ?Clint should have retired after "The Dirty Dozen". Perhaps this muck is still watched with nostalgia in Alaska.
mjleger i saw this tv pilot.the series lasted 2 shows and that is 3 shows too many.the setting is alaska.clint walker plays kodiak a state trooper on a sno-mobile.the show was a half hour long not nearly long enough to do a weekly police drama.just as the show got going it was over.
