Featured review
Making believer
My nephew started as an NYPD officer on New Year's Eve, but I he didn't make as spectacular a debut as Mark Shera did on his first day on the job.
Shera who was looking to make a call to his precinct because he was running late in those days before cellphones and believe me trying to find a working public phone in New York City could be a lifetime quest happens to interrupt a mob hit. He makes a lot of rookie mistakes, but his sergeant from the Academy David Doyle believes in him and after awhile so does Lt. Kojak.
They have to because this is looking like the opening shots in a turf war for territory on the Lower East Side. This is an episode where Telly Savalas shows himself to be a master at psychological warfare with both heads of the two factions. Plays them off beautifully against each other.
You have to see it to believe it.
