Don't listen to the negative reviews

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

You know, I always remember this show because it was a part of the triple K's that was on during that time. Kolchak, Kojak, Kodiak. If I remember it right, Kodiak came on Friday nights. I didn't know it replaced the Brady Bunch, of course, I was watching Sanford & Son by then. Also, I didn't know Clint Walker stared in it. I thought it was a some what smaller native American Ranger, who drove a jeep, and used some unique form of martial arts to foil crime in the north west area. Well, at any rate, I do remember, and gladly not the only one, to also remember that there was a T.V. show named Kodiak in the early 70's. Hey!Perhaps my memory of the native American in that role would make a good show now.

Actually, there were four programs shown: (Red Snow, White Death, aired September 13, 1974. (Guest star: Stefanie Powers); Death Chase, aired September 20, 1974. (Guest star: Kay Lenz); A Time To Die, aired September 27, 1974. (Guest star: Steve Forrest); and The Last Enemy, aired October 4, 1974. (Guest star: William Shatner); or so states Wikipedia. And according to Wikipedia it was its air time against Sanford and Son that was its demise...America's growing interest in Afro-American situation comedies I guess (hey...remember Amos and Andy. At any rate...given a better time slot and promo it may have made it, for actually Clint is not that bad an actor...its just hard to break a 6'6" mold (hey at least he was not Lurch or Jaws).

The reason I searched for this show is I recalled it as having been on TV in 1976. Evidently I was in error. OK....I vaguely recall this forgettable junk.... Clint(Hercules)Walker on a snow-mobile? The opening narration went something like this...."The Big Man lives in a Big Land, has a Big Job",etc.,etc.,etc. My step-brother and I would add our own narration..."The Big Man lives in a Big Land, has a Big Job, drives a Big Truck,lives in a Big House,eats a Big Meal, and takes a Big S**t, Big Deal !!" Now wouldn't that have been more memorable ?Clint should have retired after "The Dirty Dozen". Perhaps this muck is still watched with nostalgia in Alaska.

According to the other post, Kodiak was canceled after two episodes. Very likely. Other shows have been canceled much quicker.So no one remembers Kodiak, with Clint Walker. It wasn't watched. I certainly don't remember it from when I was a kid at the age of 8.So what is Kodiak's distinction? What makes Kodiak a standout in television history?Kodiak is the show that replaced the Brady Bunch when it was canceled after it's miraculous five season run.The family Brady was sent off the air after Greg's graduation for this forgotten show about an Alaskan ranger. They have certainly outlasted him, that's for sure. But I guess it was the decision of one fellow, The network programmer, who thought he had a hunch, That Kodiak would really get high ratings, And perhaps even outdo the Brady Bunch.
