Open Topic: Did Carl Kolchak need a sidekick OR Gal Friday ?

From your feedback I get the notion that because of the very small supporting cast (let's face it-- Updyke and Miss Emily had little more than a few minutes of screen time--or LESS per episode).
So.....
Did Kolchak need a Gal Friday , Jimmy Olsen type sidekick OR occasional "Gail Foster" replacement to help him out ?

P.S. They could have done sooooooo much if Gail Foster (the scrumptious Carol Lynley) had one returning episode!!!!

Judging by the reaction to the remake, I'd have to say no.

No. They needed more money. I heard the cost of production was prohibitive.

I was just thinking of the first time they saddled Carl with a partner. He locked her in the trunk of his car. (Poor Monique)
