"Boris" ran on CBS from 1973-78. The show starred Boris as Det. Boris Brakovic, a no-nonsense Russian-American cop at a tough New York precinct.

The show earned several Emmy awards, including one for Isaac Hayes brilliant theme song.

In the first season, Boris' real-life sister Blizzard played his partner Det. Karen Ruzzetti, but audiences at the time found the idea of a female detective too unbelievable. She was replaced in later seasons by Ray Martingold.

Veteran character actor Archibald Gleason joined the cast as Lt. McCafferty midway through the first season, after another actor dropped out due to allergies.

Boris and Blizzard were reunited in the 1981 made-for-TV movie "Boris: Tail Of A Killer", which is still shown occasionally on the USA Network.

Unfortunately the series is not yet available on DVD.
