Good start, but then it gets ruined

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

This popular show from the 1970s had a lot going for it the formula worked well about two police officers on the beat and was unique amongst police shows which were at there height during these times. The story lines were interesting and unconventional in the way the series portrayed police work through the personal rather then dutiful lives of the police team. However there were too many cheesy and soapiest moments within the series that makes me want to laugh at it rather then be entertained by it: - Having a Sports type car is good and fits in well with the action but the way its painted it looks more like a gloried circus car as opposed to a more formal car that can be taken seriouslyThe story focuses to much on the relationship between the two males and their personal lives as opposed to their experiences in being Police Officers in tackling the crime of Los Angeles at that time The stories are mostly good but are done in a wooden or unrealistic manner and lack gritty reality which makes a Police series enjoyable though it did have good action but lacked an important ingredient ThrillerTo conclude good but wooden that does not make it an enjoyable but not a good series it would of been better in my opinion if it had been an American version of The Sweeney quality and not quantity.

I really like this series. I still watch it in reruns. I like the make-up of the series. It was not just car chases, gun fights and screeching tires. The chemistry between every one until the end of the series. They actually did police work and did deductive reasoning. At the beginning of the series everything was smooth sailing. That is until David soul had a hit record. He grew hi hair long, with a mustache. Hutch became very arrogant. Just watch an episode. He actually insults starsky. He keeps saying he is the brains of the pair. He spits out psychology, t.m. . In early episodes he was a health nut: carrot juice, wheat germ, fasting, etc. . They really overstuffed his character. It still is a fun series to watch. Even the later episodes.

Action , Drama , humor . Romance . all combined into one even at 15 years old and nearly 45 years old i love this show the exquisite chemistry and performances from the best star sky and hutch David soul , Paul Micheal Glaser so convincing at every moment exhilarating car chases wonderfully choreographed shootout sequences . I recommend if you have just discovered this series begin with it and maybe leave the movie out of you're collection again it was not bad movie just lacked the magic of the original show that couldn't be replicated in any cop show that preceded it with the exception of the Sweeney which starred the late great John thaw which had a completely different tone to this show being more violent and tough with less humor .

I love Starsky and Hutch. They are the best.I love crime shows, old ones or new ones, it doesn't matter. My favourite part of "Starksy & Hutch" is the two main characters, Dave Starksy and Ken Hutchinson. They are so sweet and such good friends, they are a joy to watch together. This was back when characters on TV shows were actually likable, and these two are a prime example of that. Some of the writing leaves a little to be desired, but the cases are interesting and it's a fun show. It doesn't take itself too seriously. So if you're looking for violence and gore, find a different cop show. If you're looking for interesting cases and good characters, you will enjoy "Starsky & Hutch".
