All I saw was 19th (Friday) at 11pm; I'm sure it'll be broadcast over the course of the weekend.

I don't know how often they repeat specials because Soapnet isn't in my area, but the 19th was yesterday, a Thursday.

Since today is the anniversary of Virginia Vestoff's final appearance on DS-- 34 years ago today (she appears in the home page montage in Episode #1192 for Jan. 19 and #1193 for Jan. 20)-- I thought I'd finally get those screen caps posted from her 1977 Kojak two-parter.  I don't know about the rest of you, but this is her only dramatic appearance that I've seen that was set in modern day.

From:  Re: Susan Sullivan, Virginia Vestoff on Kojak eps in Southern California :

I'd love to see a couple of captures of the fabulously talented Virginia Vestoff on that show.  Hope it was a good role for her.

It was a terrific role-- she was the original desperate housewife.  And as was the case with Grayson Hall, she and Telly Savalas had wonderful chemistry.

"Kojak's Days" is a classic and was unusual in that it depicted what happens to him in a typical day, from breakfast to [a late] dinner, and as always his private life and professional duties collided.  Since it involves several cases instead of just one, the cast was untypically large; the eps starred Maud Adams (Selby's "Girl in Blue") as Kojak's girlfriend; also William Hurt, Robert Picardo, and others.  Here are caps from Part I.  Enjoy!


Kojak enters, shouting about his parking space while carrying a little girl whose wealthy father
(Michael Storm, James' brother) was murdered by her mother while the girl hid in the house.
The mother ran away and is suicidal.


Helen:  "Who's that, Attila the hun?"


"If you had any guts you'd meet me in an alley on even terms.  I told ya,
I didn't roll nobody.  I told ya, I'm an entertainer."


"Hi.  What's a nice kid like you doing in a dump like this?"


Kojak learns she was arrested in a bar for rolling a tourist for $500.


The child is played by Danielle Brisebois.


Since he's hesitant about handing the girl over to a children's shelter (better
"the warm arms of a hooker"), he asks Helen to babsit as a favor.

Many happy returns of the day

Amy Jennings Fan,

May your birthday wishes come true!

Thanks, Nancy.  I'd love to see them, Jackie.

She was entering his b.d. on the calendar.

And what is the significance of this karma thing?? Explanations are needed!!

Entering karma into the Forum's search engine provides many explanations.  There's also a topic stickied to the top of the Testing 1, 2, 3 board that's dedicated to the feature.

mscbryk, I hope you feel better soon!  I don't think David Nahmod's intent in his review (on the current Calendar/Events board) was to ridicule the original series for the sake of comparison to the revival, though I do think those are annoying labels for our show when taken out of context.  Anyway, he's a nice guy and I'm sure would be happy to explain his comments, though he's probably more likely to see replies to his article.  It's just a suggestion. 

I hate when people say things like this, but I think they must not have watched the original show, and are simply repeating what some twit wrote about the original (not doing their homework).

The author is actually a long-time, loyal fan.
