Can anyone answer a question about the storyline of the Kolchak the Night Stalker T.V. series?

As I recall, he was a newspaper reporter for a Seattle paper.

Wow. That was a long time ago. All I remember is there was an episode about some killer in the sewers, thought to be a giant gator.

I came across the following on the Internet. It sounds like a good series I wonder if any episodes are on YouTube?

Carl Kolchak was a reporter for Chicago’s Independent News Service, and a trouble magnet for situations involving the supernatural. Kolchak turned his investigative skills to vampires, werewolves, zombies and all manner of legendary creatures, but in the end he always failed to convince his skeptical editor, Tony Vincenzo, that the stories weren’t products of Kolchak’s own overworked imagination. Written by Marg Baskin.

I don’t know that they ever actually said what medium he was writing for. I believe what we were seeing was a visualization of his reporter notes. It was written in an epistolary form where he is listing dates and times and his own views of what happened.

I always assumed that he freelanced the “memoirs” of his investigations for sale to tabloids hungry for sensationalist fare to drive up circulation.
