Q: Was "Kojak" based on anything?
"Kojak" was based on a couple of things, actually.
Most directly, it was a continuation of the popular and award-winning telefilm "The Marcus-Nelson Murders," which aired in 1973 on CBS. That film introduced audiences to Detective Theo Kojak, an honest cop who suspects some of his fellow detectives of framing a young black man for murder. The film, in particular the character, was a hit, and so later that year CBS premiered the "Kojak" series.
