Why did I never watch Starsky and Hutch ?

loved the original, sadly the memory of it was killed by the horrible movie

Totally agree!

My favorites were Baretta, S&H, SWAT & The Mod Squad.

Glaser:

The car is a character in the piece - I've never liked the car, I submitted to it's objectionable popularity. First of all I thought it was ugly, I thought it was ridiculous that undercover police guys would drive a striped tomato and I've never been a big champion of Ford.

I heard when they took a promo picture for the new movie Glaser refused to sit in the car for the shot ... I guess it's common knowledge he always truly HATED the car.
In the end, I think Hutch talked him into it

on a sidenote, my friend, who promotes a toy collectibles show in my area, tried to get paul michael glaser/starsky to show up but unfortunately he requires an $8000 guarantee. ouch!

I was surprised season-1 even had a different theme song ... and I actually like that one better then the later theme.
It's very generic, but hard pounding

[starsky]

bro, you dont know what your're missing!! the early seasons starsky and hutch was more action and car chases. the later seasons focused more on drama and their relationship as cops.

Altho I loved Adam-12 as a kid (I remember drawing many pictures of their badges), shows like S&H, Columbo, and Beretta were never really on my radar. I did watch my fair share of CHiPs tho.

Growning up in the 70's, I never watched Starsky and Hutch.
My police shows were always Columbo and CHiPs (weird combo, huh?)

So I never watched S&H thoughout the 70's ...

In the late 80's I think I watched it once, but I really didn't watch it.
I was probably doing something and it was playing in the background.

That was my exposure to S&H up until a few days ago.

My nephew loaned me a few discs of S&H.

I thought i'd give it a try and really watch it.

Dang !!!

I was surprised how much I like it -- and wondering HOW did I not see this show for the past 40+ years ?

This is a GREAT FUN SHOW !!!

Got a lot of catching up to do
