Summary: fun
Review: For someone who wasn't around during the era of Starsky and Hutch, I was surprised how enjoyable the series is.

I didn't even know what Starsky and Hutch actually was, until the recent movie came out. I loved the movie, and decided to check out the series.

Whilst I admit that I have cringed sometimes during some of the episodes, (which I put down to the fact that I was not around during the 70's!) it has such a good hearted nature that you can't help but smile. And the car is absolutely brilliant!

So even if you weren't around during this era, and have never seen this series before, give it a go because you just might be pleasantly surprised.

Summary: A must have DVD set.
Review: Great cop show, amazing car chase and good fight scenes. Loaded with humor and 70's pop culture. I will not repeat the good things people have already pointed out.

Don't compare it with the Ben Stiller (who is a fine actor and actually imitated Starsky's walk really well) and Owen Wilson movie Starsky and Hutch - the movie does not do justice to the show. Yes, we all know that the movie is more of a spoof but still the characters can't portray what Paul Michael Glaser and David Soul brought to this hit show. The stories have a lot of substance into them and it not just some show with fast car, shooting people etc. - there are several dialogues/lines/scenes that force us to think of various painful issues that are present in the society - especially in the later seasons.

You will not regret buying it. It is a must have for any fan of good cop shows with sensitive characters that are passionate about their work. The show is pure fun.

Summary: I Still Love it Now!
Review: I grew up with Starsky & Hutch. I feel like I'm reliving my childhood again and it's a wonderful feeling. Great acting & fantastic rapport between Paul Michael Glaser & David Soul make this series a really enjoyable watch.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Get ready for some '70s cop action!
Review: It's good set and has 23 episodes of the show. My favorite episode is episode 2 Savage Sunday where a senior-citizen couple put 50 sticks of dynamite in the back of their White Impala to blow up city hall but 2 homicidal thieves Wilbur Sloan and Gregg Morton steal their car and don't know that there are dynamite in the trunk. Things get kind of worse when they take it to Ted's Body & Fender repair shop and paint the Chevy green and change the plates to Ohio plates. And another good one is episode 14 The Deadly Imposter where Starsky & Hutch's long lost buddy returns to town dressed as a General who is actually contracted to kill his ex-wife's husband. So those are good episodes. The one I didn't like was Running, that was a pretty sad one too when an alchoholic model who Starsky was in love with in High School was almost killed by a loose killer but when Starsky hides her in his apartment to protect her, she's the only person to identify the killer. But anyway, I got this on my birthday which was on December 9 along with SNL Adam Sandler. I finished watching the entire 5 disc set. It says it's 20 hours this 5-piece-disc set. And also on the 5th disc, it has special features like new interviews with Starsky & Hutch, pictures of the movie Starsky & Hutch and also talking about the 3rd star which is Starsky & Hutch's Red & White Ford Torino. And I saw another Ford Torino in one of the episodes, I can't remember which episode that was but I think it was episode 16 The Hostages. But anyway this is a good set. After you watch this one, you'll probably be wanting for the 2nd Season. I haven't seen the 2nd Season yet but I bet it's good and I think it's out now.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It's been a long time since I've seen this series
Review: It's good this came out on dvd. It's a lot better than what's on TV today. Lots of action in these shows some episodes are defintely better than others. Some of my favorites are the first original pilot and when Hutch gets abducted and gangsters get him hooked on heroin. I also like the one where they go through the police acadamey with this guy and he's goes off into the military....the episode he uses them(unbeknownest to them he's working for thugs now trying to track down a witness against one of the thugs). Two real life detectives probaly couldn't see this much action but then again LA in the 80's with all the gangs and stuff maybe they could see that much action but it's just a show anyway.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Loved it Then! Still Love It Now!
Review: As a child of the 70's and being ten years old when Starsky & Hutch started on TV I grew up watching it and it is very clear to me that most people who were kids when this show started had more open minds about it and appreciated it a lot more than the professional critics who hated this show and lets face it most of them were kind of old and set in their ways and they seemed to hate everthing that kids liked anyway, a whole big geneation gap thing. Anyway I loved this show as a young girl and I had crushes on both David Soul and Paul Michael Glaser and I still love this show and I recommend the first season DVD!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better than you remember...
Review: It was great reliving my old crushes on Paul Michael Glaser and David Soul (I could never choose)!! I still remembered some specific scenes just like they were yesterday. S&H accurately portrayed the seedy underbelly of Los Angeles, giving it a sort of "To Live and Die in L.A." feel, with an added touch of humor. I had fun picking out guest stars who went on to bigger fame.

Sure, some of the production values were cheesy--such as Starsky wearing the same clothes for several episodes, and a green Chevy Impala blowing up one week and then appearing in the next episode--but this was 70's TV, people! They kept production costs down by reusing props and shooting several episodes in a day. Try that with the cast of Friends. HA!

If you're a child of the 70s..and even if you're not..get out your bellbottoms, plaid shirts and Adidas and watch this DVD.
