They were known for it around tear through the streets of "Bay City" in Starsky's two-door Ford Torino. This car was red with a white vector stripe along both sides of the car and got in the episode "Kill Huggy Bear" by Hutch the nickname "Striped tomato". According to the car me called Huggy Bear "a tomato with braces"! Fans of the series have subsequently adopted the name and to this day most people use this name to Starsky Torino to identify with it. The term came not from the writers, but by a ruling that Glaser made in everyday life. When Aaron Spelling for the car had first showed up, Glaser sarcastically noted: "the thing looks like a striped tomato!" Hutch had itself also a car, a dented Ford Galaxi 500 from 1973, which regularly appeared when the duo needed their own car or for a secret mission. Their main contact with the underworld was via "Huggy Bear" (Antonio Fargas), a wauwelende man who is living on the streets, often dressed extravagantly, and which are sometimes tipped was but never known (nor denied) that he was a pimp . The boss of the duo was the grumpy, serious Commander Harold Dobey, in the series played by Bernie Hamilton with the creaky voice; in the trial broadcast was this role by Richard Ward played.

Two character names came from William Blinn's past: "Starsky" was the name of a friend in high school and "Huggy Bear" was a local disc jockey.

The fans loved this courageous and often violent intrigue, which were accompanied by comic banter, and especially of the close-knit, dedicated, lasting friendship between Starsky and Hutch. To this day, Starsky and Hutch were frank with physical, affective gestures, which stated that she relied on a world no one else than each other, this in stark contrast to the current police figures on television; This led to some claimed that they were homosexual (actually referenced the roles in Hollywood to "prime time-gays"). This comparison runs parallel with the assertion that psychiatrist Frederic Wertham in his 1954 book Seduction of the Innocent(Innocent seduction) about the relationship between Batman and his henchman Robin.

Then in 1977 an emerging concern came up concerning violence on television, the script writers were forced to curb the violent action scenes and more romantic and more social themes to use and thus the "overvriendelijke" aspects of the series more to stress; the protagonists, particularly Paul Michael Glaser, were exhausted by the general theme of the series. These factors contributed among other things to the waning popularity of the series.

During the second season showed Glaser clearly to the people around him that he wanted to leave the series and the time of his contract. At the beginning of the third season he sued would not return for the film. To fill the gap that he would leave behind, the role of police officer Linda Baylor created and also a number of alternative scripts of the character were already written in case Starsky would leave; It is unknown whether the name of the series would have remained the same. Glaser was eventually convinced to stay and appeared Baylor, played by Roz Kelly, (next to Starsky and Hutch) once in the episode "Fatal Charm" (early third season).

During the fourth season spoke to the desire from the series again Glaser want to leave. This time, Starsky's wayward younger brother Nick (John Herzfeld) was introduced in the episode "Starsky's Brother" (fourth season) and he lay at odds with what bad company. It was intended that, when Glaser would leave the series come to repentance, the Nick joined the Sheriff's Department would connect and thus to take the place of Glaser (that way would retain the title "Starsky and Hutch" at least can be). But again it came not. Although a fifth season on pile stood, it was not only Glaser's desire to stop, but would eventually falling viewing figures bring an end to the series. Ironically, Glaser initially got little attention for his most famous role, as often with protagonists in success series, and he wanted to do nothing, but he embraced the more in later years. The same happened also with roles as Leonard Nimoy in Star Trek, Adam West in Batman and Tom Baker in Doctor Who, to name a few. ==List of episodes[ Edit] == ===Pilot (1975)<span class="mw-editsection" len="346" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Starsky and Hutch (90 min.) ===First season (1975-' 76)<span class="mw-editsection" len="349" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === ===Second season (1976-' 77)<span class="mw-editsection" len="349" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === ===Third season (1977-' 78)<span class="mw-editsection" len="348" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === ===Fourth season (1978-' 79)<span class="mw-editsection" len="349" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === ==International<span class="mw-editsection" len="338" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == ==Firearms<span class="mw-editsection" len="334" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Detective Starsky in the pilot ran around with a Colt 1911 .45 ACP.

 * The success of Starsky and Hutch brought the British tv producer Brian Clemens to come up with a tougher series on the brink was, namely The Professionals; These were between 1977 and 1983 to see on British television.
 * Although both series made their debut in isolation (there were a few months in between), had an unlikely a direct influence by the other and there are even remarkable parallels with The Sweeney, the hard British police series from 1975-' 78, which was the precursor of The Professionals.

It was clear that in the pilot episodes from the first season broadcast neither in the 1976 cars were used. Originally left Director Blinn Starsky drive around in a yellow Chevrolet Camaropeek that with love, because he to his own green Camaro.When production of the test broadcast began, Ford Motor Company that year had a contract with Spelling-Goldberg closed. It was to similar models looked and for the pilot was chosen for two red 351 CID "Windsor" V8-powered two-door Gran Torino's (one for the broadcast and one as a spare). They were equipped with chrome rear-view mirrors and black sides; the Interior was black with vinyle sessions. The cars were rented by Ford by Spelling-Goldberg Productions in color adjusted with the distinctive white stripe (this ran on either side from the front bumper about the doormen and over the roof), but in the third and fourth season, producers hired "Starsky & Hutch" PS-122 parts, one of the thousand limited editions, and was painted in such a way that it matched the displayed car. This car was in 1976 as a spare car produced by Ford Motor Company. The models from 1975, used during the first season, had held meetings with fabric and were painted bright red. They were replaced In 1976 for three new Torino's with vinyle seats and got exactly the same bright red color as the previous year, because Ford another red shade used for the new models; the cars can be identified by the silver ' sight shields ' (fill for bumper panels) that Ford used for specially painted cars. ==Tidbits<span class="mw-editsection" len="332" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p lang="en" len="492" style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">In 2003, when the series was repeated Five, this episode on Thursday, January 10th, at the usual time of 10 a.m., again televised, but the bit in which Hutch gets administered the heroin was there almost at all thrilled.
 * It is also possible that a Browning Hi Power 9 mm Lugar Starsky's weapon was.
 * The theme song was recorded by the James Taylor Quartet.
 * In America were repeated by the Memorable Entertainment Television episodes.
 * Each season had a new theme song. The most well-known and traditional melody was down for the second season returned in the fourth season and with a new look was stabbed.
 * Depending on the season, there were different motors in the Torino's used. The cars in the pilot were equipped with a 351 CID "Windsor" V8; the cars for the first season had a 400 CID engine. On the reserve and stunt car after 1976, were the three Torino's from the second through the fourth season equipped with a 460 CID V8 engine. All cars were equipped with an automatic transmission, apart from the main cars that had a stronger axle; the producers did this to increase the acceleration during the stunt scenes.
 * The sound of the motors on a sound track was mixed.
 * Two of the 1976 Torino's are the property of a man in Ohio and reportedly is the third car somewhere in the South (of America); It is not known where the cars have remained from 1975.
 * Ford has never released a Gran Torino in the fashion color sprayed was according to the model year 1974/' 75. But following the successful television series "created a replica of the" Ford "Starsky & Hutch"-1976 Gran Torino with a limited print runs (thousand pieces); with that the Torino line ended. One of these symbols, "PS 122" and manufactured in a factory in Chicago, was used in the third and fourth season. This car had originally a 400 CID V8 engine; one of the stunt men had helped the engine to the afterlife and so the engine was by Spelling-Goldberg replaced for a 429 CID V8 engine. This car still drives around in California.
 * One of the factory replicas was in the first episode of "The Dukes of Hazzard" used by Cooter Davenport. On 26 January 1979 went this series of start, when Starsky and Hutch was still prime time broadcast.
 * The episode "Long Walk Down a Short Dirt Road" (second season, 1976/' 77) was based on a stalking-incident in which Dolly Parton was involved. Dolly Parton would play along in the episode itself, but in the end was there anyway for Lynn Anderson chosen.
 * The role of Huggy Bear was so enormously popular among the viewers, that the producers played with the mind to get him to give his own series in the second season. The episode "Huggy Bear and the Turkey" (second season) was a pilot for this series. Herein were Huggy Bear and his friend, former Sheriff "Turkey" Turquet (Dale Robinette), private detectives. The idea has never been to an actual series.
 * The surname of Huggy Bear was only in "Huggy Bear and the Turkey" revealed. There he was routinely called "Huggy Bear Brown '.
 * The episode "The Fix" (first season-it got to heroin administered by gangsters as information from Hutch to get him) was in England by the BBC very judged and ultimately "banned" (despite that the series was broadcast only after 9 p.m.). The episode was only seen on Saturday 31 May 1999, when Channel 4 broadcast a complete Starsky & Hutch Night .

 * The BBC hit even more controversial episodes about it, or it was cut at the last minute in firmly.
 * The title of the pilot and some of the first episodes were "Starsky and Hutch", later that "Starsky & Hutch" until the very last episode.
 * The niece of David Soul, the actress Justine O'Neil, got a guest role in the series and played Rani Sobek.
 * The partially dramatized series was credit worthy, because it is the first prime time series was in which black characters had a prominent and positive role. Here is Captain Dobey, the boss of the bunch, a case in point. And although Huggy more or less a pimp or a different kind of pleasant criminal was, he was very known to the public and he was put in a positive light.
 * The series is largely included in the San Pedro community in Los Angeles.
 * In the series Bassie & Adriaan and the diamond from 1979 dreams Bassie a Starsky & Hutch-like adventure on a Rotterdam port area. This was a deliberate choice since both duos have similar character differences.
 * In the comedy So I Married an Axe Murderer from 1993 said Charlie MacKenzie against Tony Giardino "you seem to Huggy Bear from Starsky & Hutch".<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-1" len="169" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"> [1]
 * The English comedian Benny Hill has ever made a parody of Starsky & Hutch. It was especially focused on the sudden shut-down of a scene.
