Kojak was an American action crime drama television series starring the late Telly Savalas as the title character, New York City Police Department Detective Lieutenant Theophilus "Theo" Kojak. It aired from 1973 to 1978 and reprised as seven TV movies in the 1980s.
The show revolved around the efforts of the tough and incorruptible Kojak, a bald, rather dapper police lieutenant, who was fond of lollipops and become known worldwide for the catchphrase "Who loves ya, baby?", although remarkably he only ever said the phrase three times during the original 118 episodes. Kojak was stubborn and tenacious in his investigation of crimes displaying a dark, cynical wit, with a tendency to bend the rules if it brought a criminal to justice.
Such popularity spawned a plethora of merchandising opportunities. One such item was this Kojak board game manufactured by Arrow Games Ltd in c.1975. Being 50 years old this game is in fantastic condition. The box remains intact with minimal surface wear, some rubbing of the corners and sellotape remnants. The vivid orange lid depicts Kojak with the New York skyline as a backdrop. The game board is in clean, perfect condition. All playing pieces presnt as are all the game cards. The instruction booklet has some staining showing this game was well used over the past five decades. Also included is a Arrow Games catalogue.
A great item for a vintage board game collector, an enthusiast of 1970's television memorabilia or for someone wanting to recreate their childhood.
