Starsky & Hutch Season One 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This is one of my all-time favorite shows from the seventies. This first season DVD is great and brings back a lot of memories. I never missed an episode of Starsky & Hutch when I was a kid - and now I realize that this show has stood the test of time with me. I would recommend this to all fans of the show. And what until you see the inside packaging! So cool. :)

AFTER 30 YEARS 5 out of 5 stars.

Isn't it fun to watch again a show you used to like as a teenager and discover it still holds up to this day?STARSKY and HUTCH belongs to that category.It is not only because of the GRAN TORINO ,which became a cult item for collectors.If you remember 1975-76,we had lost IRONSIDE,MANNIX and HAWAI5-0 was starting to wind down when those two cops arrived on the scene.Sure we had KOJAK,but STARSKY and HUTCH were younger and could really compete physically with the criminals and chase them everywhere.We had HUGGY BEAR for comic relief,DOBEY the captain who has a strange fixture towards food and often interrupts STARSKY's meals ,who is himself a fast food addict.Mostly,STARSKY and HUTCH had great chemistry and as the season progress ,you also discover the human side of their characters.Although they are heterosexuals,there are some homosexual overtones in some of their scenes together that completely eluded me back then.It is funny sometimes to discover how time changes perception.STARSKY and HUTCH season 1 is worth buying and you'll get to see the guys on disc 5 discussing their characters and the producer,creator and writers about the genesis of the show.

Love It 4 out of 5 stars.
3 of 5 people found this review helpful.

I remember watching every single episode of Starsky & Hutch when I was a kid. I was so happy when I saw these episodes were being released on DVD. I bought the first season DVD, and loved it - and I love the second season just as much. These definitely look dated, but after all, they're from over thirty years ago. (what!?) They're still cool... Starsky and Hutch have stood the test of time for me. (And I always wanted a car like that!)

Fantastic show, but no subtitles?? 4 out of 5 stars.

Well, this second season is very good. I love the show. I just don't understand why they did not include English subtitles for the hearing handicapped?

Anyway, it was a great show. The chemistry between the leads was amazing. Some people may thin it is a little dated, what is natural. But many episodes still have lasting power.

Second season still strong as first 5 out of 5 stars.

I've had the second season for some time now and have watched it all the way through at least twice. Writing still very good with good plots. Acting is solid. Some of my favorite episodes were in this season. The main change that I recall and it doesn't bother me as much now was the Main Theme change. I could never understand why it happened in the first place. I did enjoy the original seasons theme song so much more at the time. Still do.

A few of the best...many clunkers however 4 out of 5 stars.

"Fatal Charm" and "Class in Crime" are two episodes that would not only hold up as assets in their first 2 (and best) seasons, but in any action/thriller series. "Fatal Charm" was Glenn Close and Michael Douglas 10 years earlier and is one of the top 5 episodes of the 4 seasons in my opinion. "Class in Crime" was very clever and suspenseful. As a college grad who remembers having a nutjob in Philosophy 101 many years ago, the professor in this episode is pretty typical. It's the only class I took pass/fail in my 4 years because I realized the professor 2 weeks into this required course was such a set in his ways nut at University at Buffalo in his "philosophies" that I had to "play the game" just to get a B-. It's the one episode of this disappointing 3rd season that I can watch for the next 20 years and still enjoy because of how skewed philosophy professors are through past experience. The "Playboy Island" episode was atrocious and should never of been the opening installment for a season. It was unintentional comic stupidity. I'm all for social conscience, but this show was an action/Police show that got away from its popular MO for seasons 1-2. If you didn't know the show, that theme song for season 3 is so primitive and comically bad you'd think it was maybe used as the 1975 pilot before being scrapped. Sounded like the 1960's Mission Impossible score on crack. Anyhow, I have season 3 but it's collected dust other than the 2 mentioned episodes I watch again for nostalgia and entertainment.Season 4 tried to recapture the old MO but you could tell Glasier and Soul sort of went through the motions after the irreparable damage season 3 did going against what made it a hit.I give it 4 stars only because of my love for the show. Worst of the 4 seasons overall.

There was nothing that stood in my way when "Starsky & Hutch" was on. Being able to once again see Starsky & Hutch in action brings back fond memories. As the show premiered in my Junior year of High School, and needless to say, "the homework could wait!" I pleaded with my dad to go to our local Ford store, because there, in all it's glory was a brand new replica Torino, complete with the white stripe. To this day I still can remember my dad saying, "It'll be a cold day in you know where" before I spend $3800.00 on a vehicle!" The quality of these DVD's is excellent. The value is great. The memories it brings back are priceless. A must for every "Starsky and Hutch" fan!

starsky and hutch fourth season 5 out of 5 stars.

3 stars if you didn't grow up with these shows 4 out of 5 stars.
10 of 12 people found this review helpful.

I was a child of the 70s and remembered these shows fondly. I took them VERY seriously at the time. Now they are instant nostalgia and a hoot. I love the bland studio bars and apartments, the lack of much blood after some serious gun fights, the friendly neo-fascist cops who do their duty & then go party. These are the "first" episodes of each show but that is misleading. Most started as 2 hour movies of the week. These are the first of the on going episodes but in most cases the viewer's second helping.

The Rookies-the most social conscious of the group. The street wise cop who grew up in the 'hood with the very naive suburban kid. Nice sentiments here about getting through to gang members excpet that these guys are psuhing 40 when they should be teens & the slum is obviously a Hollywood backlot with lots of newspapers thrown all over it.

Police Woman-good drama, Angie does some nice touches. The show isn't just about her though, a whole unit so it's kinda misleading. That hippuie undercover has on of the oddest faces to grace a TV screen. And I loved the casual traffic driving past a desperate shoot out early on.

SWAT-Now this felt like a pilot. Like most of SWAT's villains, total psychos. Although no one mentions it, they are sniffing alot during the episode so grown up viewers will know that they are all coked up.

Starsky & Hutch-lame plot but good commadarie. Watch for a sexy cameo but Suzanne Sommers. This show was a little more into innuendo but then came...

Charlie's Angels-not a cop show! This one actually isz the first time we'd seen the Angels. Not bad but the whole Doyle as a preacher bit was grating. I remeber them calling this a "jiggle show" but note the lack of the extra large busts we've come to expect nowadays.

I wish they'd have released the "best" ep of each show rather than the "first", now that would be a 5 star DVD!
