That revived Nightstalker broke my heart. The charm of the original was Kolchack's "everyman" personal pitted against the occult and odd. They turned the idea into a cheapened X-files...actually more in the mold (and I emphasize the word "mold") of that dank, dark "Millennium", with nary a laugh or smile in sight. If anything, "Supernatural" carries the flavor of the old "Nightstalker" much more true to form. I smile when I recall Simon Oakland's shouting counterpoint to Kolchack's blind belief. A true classic!

I wholeheartedly agree. I had suspected when I had heard of the new "Night Stalker" series that it wouldn't be worthy of the name.
