PSA- Take a Bite Outta Crime




Today, we focus on crime prevention for our Thursday PSA entry. Of course, McGruff the Crime Dog actually uses this motto which came of age (we believed in the late
'70s).

But, the late Greek-American actor Telly Savalas was the ever-hip sleuth "Kojak" on CBS. The series lasted 105 episodes, and it ran from 1973-78.

The show was remade with black actor Ving Rhames playing the title role in 2005 on the USA Network, but alas it was only around for a year.

In Hungary and Romania, according to Wikipedia, a kojak is slang for a lollipop!
