a5c7b9f00b Tough Starsky and educated Hutch are plainclothes cops taking on dope dealers, muggers and other thugs, aided by their red 1974 Torino and informant Huggy Bear. Both bachelors&#39; private lives playinterweaving threads in the drama. Two streetwise cops bust criminals in their red-and-white Ford Torino, with the help of police snitch, Huggy Bear. Where do I begin? In the short span of four years, this show won viewers all over the globe. I myself began watching a few months ago, and the way the story lines are put together are very impressive. But what really pulled me to it was the chemistry between the two main stars, Paul Micheal Glaser (aka Dave Starsky) and David Soul (aka Ken Hutchinson) the way they worked wasn&#39;t false, they could make an episode much more realistic than probably any TV show I know. The first season, whilst a little slow, does introduce the concept of streetwise cop stories, with season two entering much darker territory and concepts. There were some significant highlights, of one and two, including &#39;The Fix,&#39; &#39;A Coffin For Starsky,&#39; &#39;Shoot Out,&#39; and &#39;Bloodbath.&#39; These ones for me really picked out what is true to life. With this show, it hit the nail hard, it didn&#39;t show you what was brilliant, it showed reality.<br/><br/>When I watched the third season, there wasn&#39;tmuch magic there. The violence was reduced, but the chemistry was ever growing, and the two really put there heart into the role. Significant story lines were markedclassic,the two worked around the social elements of the show. However, season one and two definitely showed something special, the quality of the stories, the way they both made the roles come alive, and of course the striped tomato running around the streets! Season four was the weakest season, where they were gripping on to stories, and the two were fed up of the roles after four years of action. But some highlights and twists made this series great, especially the final episode &#39;Sweet Revenge,&#39; which made sure that Starsky and Hutch finished with a twist, and went out with a bang, remembered for it&#39;s splendor.<br/><br/>The 2004 movie will never have the elements of the series, never have the same quality characters, jokes or personal feel, and the other main characters of the show, Huggy bear, Captain Dobey, and even returning special guests really keeps this show alive.<br/><br/>To conclude, Starsky and Hutch is that very rare show with action, a personal feel, suspense, drama, and fun. Starsky and Hutch is a classic show, which will be remembered for the rest of eternity, unlike the 2004 movie, what a letdown! Starsky and Hutch, 1975, is a true classic! Starsky and Hutch was my absolute favorite show (and obsession) for two formative years of my life, and probably will always hold a special place in my heart. I still can watch it and smile, even forty years later. The first two seasons contained some amazing stuff and changed a lot of my youthful ideas about the kinds of relationships and emotions that can be expected of men. All positive and important information for a teen girl trying to understand the adult world, and especially men. The second two seasons ran a gambit of styles and never seemed to find its footings, so it lost me back then. I&#39;m rediscovering it now and learning to appreciate some parts that were beyond me in the past (though some of it defies explanation). <br/><br/>David Soul and Paul Michael Glaser were so good at what they did; I don&#39;t think they get enough credit. They could be absolutely stellartheir characters and, although they often had great dialog to work with, non-verbal communication was their forte. That talent they had with each other was sometimes enhanced for amazing results and sometimes exploited and squandered. Although they had to contend with extreme variations of style of writing and directing and story lines, when they were given good stuff, they nailed it every time. <br/><br/>Starsky and Hutch is still very watchable even forty year later. The show is a roller coaster ride of ups and downs and crazy curves. Butwith any great coaster, you never will forget the ride.
