User Reviews

Most episodes contain a variety of Kojakisms that are only remembered by die hard Kojak fans. This one, however, showed Kojak as an impromptu poet staring down John P. Ryan and uttering what was really the only Kojakism in the episode, one which frequently turns up as a disjointed snippet on radio and television station identification:

"If you come

near me,

or my family

I'll scatter your brains

from here to White Plains"

In the case of the show Kojak, there should be a "quotes" section for each episode. Kojakisms deserve cataloging and preservation.

You can call this episode "Kojak's Big Fat Greek Wedding".

***SPOILERS*** Let. Theo Kojak, Telly Savalas, finds himself in a corner or cage in him trying to prevent just released from jail Peter Ibbotson, John P. Ryan, from crashing or blowing up his niece Alexandra's,Janice Heiden, wedding in revenge for Kojak having him sent up the river on a seven year stretch for extortion. With Ibbotson not hiding the fact that he's out to spoil Alexandra's wedding party by blowing up both her and her husband to be Eugene,Lionel Johnstone,on their wedding day Kojak goes out of his way in order to stop him even breaking the law by doing it.

It's when Ibbotson posing as a car wash attendant plants a plastic explosive on the couples, Alexandra and Eugean's, limousine on its way to the wedding ceremony that Kojak, sensing trouble, springs into action together with the entire wedding party to prevent them from getting blown to bits before they take their wedding vows. This was a very personal thing with Let. Kojak not only that his niece's life, and her future husband, was in danger but it would prevent him from attending a big Greek buffet with all the fixing that he, who hasn't eaten in days, could pig himself out in.

Let. Kojak does his usual thing, like sucking on a lollipop,in this episode but also coins his signature quote, "Who loves ya Baby" here as well. As for Kojak's partner the hot headed but weak brained Det. Bobby Crocker, Kevin Dobson, he almost blows the whole operation by breaking into Ibbotdon'd pad without a warrant and stupidly planting fake evidence on him. That would not only let Ibboton off Scot-free but having him-Det. Crocker-both fired from his job but put up on charges and eventually ending up behind bars as well!
