LATE NIGHT FRIDAY 1970s TRIVIA CONTEST- STARSKY & HUTCH SPECIAL!
LATE NIGHT FRIDAY 1970s TRIVIA CONTEST-
STARSKY & HUTCH SPECIAL!
Yes, that's right, tonight's trivia contest is devoted solely to that classic buddy cop show, Starsky & Hutch! (Or, as they were NEVER known as, Dave & Ken!).
Here with a really cool acid jazz version of the show's theme song by the James Taylor Quartet (and no, it's a different JT):

Most excellent!
So, now on to the trivia contest! For any newcomers, here's da rest o' da rulz:
I'll post five (5) trivia questions related to 1970s ERA various MEGO figures or characters...not closely related, as you'll see, the paths from Mego to question can diverge greatly!
First person to answer all of them correctly will get a little prize package of some random 1970s things like paperback books, comics, magazines, etc...random Mego Museum cards, and whatever assorted 1970s oddball goodies I come across.
Now don't get too excited...you're not gonna get anything worth a million bucks. Actually, the junk I plan to unload on the "winner"...excuse me, I mean, the fine collectible items I plan to offer as prizes will entertain you (I hope), and we'll all have a good time.
And just maybe, if you're not too careful, you just might learn something. Or not.
As far as the answers, please try to keep them all together in one post so we don't have to jump around collecting them all-someone can beat you to the punch by doing just that, so again, all 5 in the same post. If you get one or two wrong, please correct yourself again with all five just to keep things coherant for everyone involved, thanks!
And since I don't have any anti-Googling software in place I can't stop you from internet searching. If you know all this stuff without searching, why aren't you on Jeopardy playing for real money?
Oh, and please remember that all answers are subject to the final decision of the judge, which be me, so no arguing, it's all for fun, so let's not get crazy!
So without further ado, in the words of the Immortal Navin Johnson, "Step right up and win some crap!"
#1: Everybody who ever watched the show knows that famous "Striped Tomato" Ford Torino was Starsky's pride & joy...my question is: WHAT KIND OF CAR DID HUTCH OWN?
#2: The car was so popular that it was practically a member of the cast. In fact, it actually guest-starred on another TV series during the show's final season. My question is: ON WHAT OTHER TV SERIES DID THAT CAR APPEAR?
#3: During the seventies, the CB radio was big. Everybody had a "handle". There was the Rubber Duck, there was the Bandit & the Snowman...Starsky & Hutch didn't use a CB, but they did have a "handle" that the dispatcher used to call them. My question is: WHAT WAS THEIR DESIGNATION?
#4: Antonio Fargas played Huggy Bear, the streetwise pimp/con man/informant/friend of the team. Huggy remains one of the most popular TV characters of all time. My question is: WHAT WAS HUGGY BEAR'S LAST NAME?
#5: Time to play connect the dots with Starsky & Hutch: WHAT CONNECTION DOES DAVID SOUL (HUTCH) HAVE IN COMMON WITH ACTORS RON HARPER & LEONARD NIMOY?
Ok, there you have it. Remember, all five answers in one post to win the prize...and go!
