Starsky and Hutch was a 1970s American television series that consisted of 92 episodes of 48 minutes and a single 90 minute pilot, created by William Blinn and broadcast between April 30 1975 and May 15 1979 on the ABC network. It was directed by Jack Starrett (under the name Claude Ennis Starrett Jr.). Starrett later directed The Dukes of Hazzard (1979), a somewhat similar US TV show.

Plot

The protagonists are two California policemen, the dark-haired David Starsky (Paul Michael Glaser) playing the muscleman and driver and the blond Ken 'Hutch' Hutchinson (David Soul) being a more intellectual type of cop. They were known for driving a flashy and distinctive Ford Torino, painted red with a large white stripe. Their main underworld contact is Huggy Bear (Antonio Fargas).

In 1977, a rising concern about violence on TV forced the screenplay writers to cut down on action scenes as compared to more romantic developments. This contributed to the fading popularity of the series, which was abandoned two years later.

A quarter century after it left the television airwaves, the series was the inspiration for the movie Starsky & Hutch, released in 2004 and starring Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson.
