Starsky and Hutch is one of TV's most iconic shows.Saying your close to someone like Starsky and Hutch is synonymous with being best buds. It wasn't the car chases or the story lines that kept the fans coming back each week; It was the friendship between the partners. Close friends off the set, Paul Michael Glaser and David Soul brought their real friendship to the show. This personal touch can be seen throughout the run of the series. It does come off as dated when watched on DVD, but the combination of action adventure and humor are still addictive. These cops were more like superheros than real cops but thats half the fun. Todays cop shows are almost too real. There is no escapism. In 4 years Starsky and Hutch got poisoned, shot,shot up with heroin, kidnapped, pushed down canyons, and had some of the worst luck with women ever seen in prime time but that's the reason we watched. They also had help in one flashy pimp named Huggy Bear and the gruff butloveable Captain Dobey. The third star of the show was the Striped Tomato. That Torino was probably every boys(and some girls)dream. Thank God for DVD's. Now I can go revisit Bay City anytime I like.
