Night Stalker is a television series that ran for six weeks in the Fall of 2005 on ABC. The series starred Stuart Townsend as Carl Kolchak, an investigative reporter whose wife was murdered. Kolchak spends his time investigating other strange murders, believing they are linked in some way to his wife's murder. He is helped along the way by fellow crime reporter Perri Reed , photographer Jain McManus and editor Anthony Vincenzo . Night Stalker was a remake of the 1974 series Kolchak: The Night Stalker. ABC owned the rights to the original television movies, but not the Universal television... series, and were limited to using only characters that had appeared in those movies. Its premiere episode aired on September 29 on Thursday at 9 p.m. against CSI: Crime Scene Investigation on CBS, The Apprentice on NBC and the 2005 MLB Playoffs on Fox. Night Stalker was canceled after six episodes due to low ratings. However, the Sci-Fi Channel , which frequently airs canceled network genre shows, showed all ten filmed episodes during the summer of 2006. The ratings were poor on SciFi Channel as well.
