it got high ratings
When the Night Stalker came out, I read in Famous Monsters of Filmland that it got the highest ratings of any tv movie up to that time.
The sequel, The Night Strangler, wasn't as good.
Making it into a series raises the question raised by all the Die Hard movies. The reporter encounters a monster, that's unusual. Twice, could be a coincidence. But over and over and over?
