Kojak Vs. Baretta

Who is the baddest TV cop from the 70s?




Kojak had that cool lollipop thing, which I have lately come to appreciate even more as a symbol of ultra-coolness, and he was bald, even before it was cool to be bald. That's pretty badass.

But Baretta had that parrot, and Huggy Bear, and that ultra-hip theme song, sung by Sammy Davis Jr.--"Keep your eeeeeeeeye on the sparrow"--gotta respect that.

Kojak had "Who loves ya baby?"

Baretta had "You can take that to the bank."

It's so hard for me to decide. In fact, I won't. I'll leave it up to you good people. So what do you think?
