What can I say......I'm 57 years old and these guys were my heroes growing up....especially Mr. Soul. I bought my first single 'Don't Give Up On Us' back in 1976 and 'Silver Lady' in 1977. Both worldwide hits! In the late 90's I got to see him at a very small concert in Northampton. It was a great night and after David was signing autographs. I remember I said I was a big fan and he said ''well introduce yourself'' which I did and then I showed him my records that I'd bought back in the day. He was taken back that I'd kept them so long and that they were the first two records that I'd ever bought. He was so kind and signed them both. May you Rest In Peace David Soul you still are one of my heroes. God bless you.
I had the chance to buy one in 1995 for $1000. I was 16, and decided not to buy it. One of the biggest mistake of my life. Still had the original S&H floor mats in it. Unfortunately, someone had installed a sunroof at some point.

I used to watch this with my daughter when she was still very young, I’m now 77 and I still enjoy watching Starsky and Hutch like it was just a week ago. Thanks for the replay
I haven't seen this for 49 years. Incredible to think it's nearly half a century 😢 I think the French Connection was a bit of an influence on this show. And having the original theme at the end worked really well. RIP David Soul.
My brother liked the Torino so much that he bought one just like it when he got his license in 1980. It was a fun car in those days. Maybe not as fast as some but a lot of cool factor!
Let put it this way, the 70s to me was the best time for every thing, including Starsky and Hutch, legendary of a show, how I miss those days, we were spoilt.
I very fondly remember when Starsky and Hutch first premiered; you could tell right away this was something special. I was glued to the set every Saturday evening they aired-from then on. Truly iconic duo.
Thats surprising he was sort of made for that show to be honest .he seemed to have the character off to a tee .I don't rearly remember seeing him in no other stuff .I guess he did other acting parts during his career. Good actor to be honest
Man now I remember why I loved this show so much as a kid. I have no doubt this spawned Lethal Weapon, Diehard etc. Soul and Glaser were such great actors with great chemistry.
I remember this so well when it first premiered in 75'. I was 10 and me and my friend used to play Starsky & Hutch. It was great to see it again after so long.
PMG and David Soul had amazing chemistry and played off each other so well, truly one of the best series to come out of the 70s.. I just got the whole series on DVD, love it so much!
The show still holds up to todays expectations...even better actually....what I also like (if not love) is the music score....sooooo 70's but still timeless in excitement- and pressure up building.....big thumbs up for then, now and the future....
A fine pilot! Great subtle pace to it. The chemistry between the two leads is already evident so kudos to the casting. The whole cast is actually great here.
I remember watching this when I was a kid. My dad was all excited about this series pilot. This is back when TV was genuinely entertaining. Now it's a cast of nobody's.
Not really. Before S&H Paul MG was know for Fiddler on the Roof, historic epic, 16 feature Films including The Great Houdini. Directed The Running Man starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Miami Vice eps, a children's film Kazaam starring Shaquille O'Neal. Directors make $800/hr! And David Soul played a great villain as a Killer Cop in Eastwood flick Magnum Force and was in that most excellent TV movie, In the Line of Duty: The F.B.I. Murders. An FBI Miami shootout w Army Buddies/Bank robbers, subsequently used as an FBI training film. Soul also was cast as Major Oldham in the movie The Hanoi Hilton. You're a Nobody. Always were and will be. This Generation is Stupid!
My Dad went on vacation once in the 70's to San Francisco. One morning he was standing on Fisherman's Wharf waiting to get an a boat that was going out to Alcatraz island for a tour. Being Dad, he was EARLY. Just him and the mist rising off the Bay that early in the day. after standing alone for 15 or 20 minutes, 2 men walked out onto the Wharf and were standing 30 or 40 feet away from Dad quietly talking to eachother. After a few minutes, Dad glanced over at them and locked onto one of the men's faces and thought, "I know him from somewhere". Dad looked at him and looked at him and it wasn't coming to him where he knew him from. after a couple of minutes the man glanced at my Dad who was obviously wearing that "Where do I know him from ?" look on his face . . and he smiled. That smile shot it right into my Dad's head . . . it was Starsky ! ! ! HOLY SHIT ! ! ! Dad went over and shook his hand a told him that his son (me) watched his show every week and is probably his biggest fan in Canada. They talked until the tour boat arrived and then MY DAD went on a tour of Alcatraz island with STARSKY ! ! When Dad got back from that vacation, he told me all about it. WHAT a rush
I just turned 9 a couple weeks before this in April 1975, so I probably watched this when it first aired on TV. I love all these 70's shows, brings back memories.
Still my favourite show. And being able to rewatch the entire show nowadays, under new perspectives (I was very young at that time), I confess that my adoration only increased and I still think the series was very innovative (and inspiring for all "cop shows / movies"). And DS & PMG are unique. Thank you for the post!
I am wachting starsky& hutch now close 2 year everday a the chanel TCM i can t stop watching the show because i love see them bove Is the best program for my
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! A thousand thank yous for putting this out there! I have been waiting to see the pilot episode of "Starsky and Hutch" for years now! Thanks for finding it!
This show propelled me into a law enforcement career. First with the Air Force, then INS and ultimately as a criminal investigator with the USMS. I’m sure I’m not the only one.
Best t.v. show ever!! Wednesday nights was Starsky and Hutch nights! No matter WHAT else was on the other stations didn't count. This show was the only thing my family watched!
One of mine was when there was a look alike starsky and hutch with that red and white ford...one red and white ford chasing another identical ford...then they would switch and the bad guys started chasing the good guys...
@@selenaannesmith1604 I'm going to look it up on putlocker and watch it again...I'll post what season and episode it is....what I think is the stunt men and stunt drivers for the guys got a opportunity to act and be seen in this episode...I think these two bad guys are the regular stuntmen ...some actors want to give as much credit to the stuntmen and women because without them it might get boring and it wont last
@@selenaannesmith1604 another top 5 season 1 episode 20... jan smithers from WKRP Bailey Quarters...watch closely at her acting...I would have at least nominated her for best female quest appearance on a primetime series....I assume she got her role on WKRP immediately after this episode aired...
I remember watching this as young kid when it first came out, I loved it then as I do now and the memories from that era still make me smile. I'm 54 now and have the series on DVD and can recall how us kids back then thought S&H were the coolest cops, some kids tried to copy Starsky's style and we all thought his car was awesome. It became so popular that Ford actually brought out S&H special edition Torinos you could buy at the dealership and I remembers seeing a couple of them driving around town. Such a great show with a great cast and I was lucky to have been there to see it at the beginning.
Me and my father used to watch Starsky & Hutch going way way way back now I'm 47 years old, and I'm still a fan of The show even It's one of my all time favorites.
45 and same here. We got those shows a little later though. early 80s was when we finally got a bunch of cable stations in Germany.. more or less right in time for Knight Rider and such :)
Wow! I can't get over the high quality of this. Of course, the last time I saw S&H was on a 1970s badly adjusted TV...Definitely one of my all time favorite shows. I was 9 when this was made. I think I've just found my next binge-watch. Thank you.
I had to choose whether to stay up on a Wednesday @ 10PM or go to bed after S.W.A.T. went off. If they weren't in the Torino right off I'd pass until summer reruns.

@@TransparencyandMerit Personally, I thought that Shatner was typecast as Kirk forever, at least in my mind. I just couldn't see him as anything else, no matter what show he was on. I watched (or tried to) one of his shows on TJ Hooker, but I just couldn't accept Shatner in any other role. Maybe it was just me.
The irony that the filming of the pilot episode was the one that left him in crippling pain for life. Unclear as to why the production company didn’t do a risk assessment and have a stunt-double to do the shot. But what an extraordinary actor like no other. RIP David
Vdd, infelizmente o deixou envelhecer rápido, fora as bebidas e o monte de cigarro que fumava, infelizmente era lindo quando jovem, sou apaixonada pelo HUCH 🩷
I loved it too, though my heart was really with Bodie and Doyle. I still have their theme tune as my ring tone. Starsky and Hutch were a very close second though!
It was my late brother's tv show when he was 15. Those two men could not do any wrong far as he was concerned. His favorite episode was "Fatal Charm" with Karen Valentine. To this day I think the movie Fatal Attraction was based on it. I made us cling to the edge of our seats. RIP Darin John Battle (1963-1994).
That was brilliant, ain all my years, I've never ever seen this pilot production, and it all fits together, as it's use totally as the opening ceremony of each show of Starsky and Hutch... So nice to chill the afternoon away like that... Thank you ☺️👌 SPOT-ON Made an old man happy!!!
Sad to see " Hutch " pass away....I am 10 years younger and I remember this show when it came out...Those years went fast hope we are going somewhere better...and not already in He# like the bottle man said...RIP Hutch thanks for the entertainment...
I cannot express how much I miss TV as a kid. It was awesome! Always a badass car to enhance their Masculinity, which wasn't necessarily but it's all good. Their Masculinity was AOK in my book! I love it! Old school TV 📺 is so much better than today!
@@michael_mouse I don't think they liked heavy metal I think easy listening and Country music was more their style... Silver Lady Don't give up on us ....
This show came on in my first year of college. This is my favorite show of all time. I lived down the street from a ford dealer and they had the gran torino out on the lot. I use to stop by every time I went to school just to look at it.
I saw this when it first aired, haven't seen it again until now. I always remember it was really good. I wasn't a big fan of the show but I loved the Pilot.
OMG, mine, too. I had a poster of him on my bedroom door for YEARS. That mega watt smile, those eyes, those jeans filled out nicely, and his blue sneakers. Yes, he was my first real crush. LOVED LOVED LOVED this show!! 😍
The pilot movie and that first season in particular (with that awesome driving theme music) was superb. It slowly tailed off in quality and realism after that, when it became more about Starsky & Hutch themselves and less about policing, but still a great show. :-)
I will! He was amazing. He also played in the Season 1 episode titled Iron Mike. Another legend. This series had a great cast of character actors from the pilot all the way through all 4 seasons.
What can I say......I'm 57 years old and these guys were my heroes growing up....especially Mr. Soul. I bought my first single 'Don't Give Up On Us' back in 1976 and 'Silver Lady' in 1977.

I loved this TV series when I was young.
I can remember being out and rushing home to watch it.
Loved this show as a kid! Even got the Starsky wrap cardigan when I was in high school!
This is brilliant 👍👍 Thanks for sharing!!! One of my favourite shows of all time .
I watched when I was a kid , i thought the Gran Torino was the coolest car ever . Spent hours drawing it .
Imagine driving it!
What chu talking about! The Gran Torino was nothing compared to the cars on the Monster Stickers.
@@susanmccormick6022 I am blessed to drive one every day!
I used to do impersonations of these two... and kojak. Wasn't very good but it cracked my sister up!😶
L9ved this show growing up. It's on the Cozi channel on Saturdays!! I have all the dvds and still watch them. Me & Thee
Starsky & Hutch was and still is one of my favorite show and I missed those days in the 1970s.
started on Tuesday nights
@@allenfreeland6494 me to
Loved this show. Thanks for the memories.
I loved it too, though my heart was really with Bodie and Doyle. I still have their theme tune as my ring tone. Starsky and Hutch were a very close second though!
It was my late brother's tv show when he was 15. Those two men could not do any wrong far as he was concerned. His favorite episode was "Fatal Charm" with Karen Valentine. To this day I think the movie Fatal Attraction was based on it. I made us cling to the edge of our seats. RIP Darin John Battle (1963-1994).
That was brilliant, ain all my years, I've never ever seen this pilot production, and it all fits together, as it's use totally as the opening ceremony of each show of Starsky and Hutch... So nice to chill the afternoon away like that... Thank you ☺️👌 SPOT-ON
Made an old man happy!!!
Rest In Peace David Soul. I still love this show.
Sad to see " Hutch " pass away....I am 10 years younger and I remember this show when it came out...Those years went fast hope we are going somewhere better...and not already in He# like the bottle man said...RIP Hutch thanks for the entertainment...
I cannot express how much I miss TV as a kid. It was awesome! Always a badass car to enhance their Masculinity, which wasn't necessarily but it's all good. Their Masculinity was AOK in my book! I love it! Old school TV 📺 is so much better than today!
This was the Father of all buddy cop movies.
... there was a diabolical rumor going around at the time that they were both a bit ac/dc
Then comes T J Hooker and his partner.
I am agree with you
@@michael_mouse
I don't think they liked heavy metal
I think easy listening and Country music was more their style...
Silver Lady
Don't give up on us ....
@@darrylperry9798
Dukes of Hazzard
Chips....
Tj Hooker and Knight Rider.
Not a cop show at all
But then came the dreaded A Team
I'll always love that car! Was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid.😃
This show came on in my first year of college. This is my favorite show of all time. I lived down the street from a ford dealer and they had the gran torino out on the lot. I use to stop by every time I went to school just to look at it.
Freaking Awesome 👍😎
Brings back fond memories of my adolescent/early adult years.
I was 4 years old when this came on. I'm 51 and still can't stop watching over and over.
Starsky and Hutch is a fine TV show. Watch every week
I saw this when it first aired, haven't seen it again until now. I always remember it was really good. I wasn't a big fan of the show but I loved the Pilot.
Me and my Dad never missed an episode..... R.I.P father
Mine too.... & we loved The Rochford Files.
I was a daddy's girl😢
OMFG TY TY TY for posting this I LOVED this show, Starsky was my boy lol one of my first crushes! I haven't seen this since the 70's!
OMG, mine, too. I had a poster of him on my bedroom door for YEARS. That mega watt smile, those eyes, those jeans filled out nicely, and his blue sneakers. Yes, he was my first real crush. LOVED LOVED LOVED this show!! 😍
@@maryglenncrutchley8425 And that swagger..gurl......LOL
@@Darkhuntersrule Oh yeah!! 😍
The pilot movie and that first season in particular (with that awesome driving theme music) was superb. It slowly tailed off in quality and realism after that, when it became more about Starsky & Hutch themselves and less about policing, but still a great show. :-)
AWESOME! Or should I say RADICAL, MAN! This was so much fun to watch - from the L.A. street scenes to the '70s swank! Classic! Thanks for posting!
Where I live I still get to enjoy these great episodes TCM
Play back to back episodes twice a day
That’s awesome. I haven’t found this series anywhere. Until now, here on YT.
@@runningdeer2111 To this day they are still running two episodes in the morning and two episodes at night.
@@crfc321 what network ?
@@runningdeer2111 TCM in Colombia
@@crfc321 thank you
Boy, do I remember this pilot movie and the whole TV series. This series made the best of friends of Paul Michael Glaser & David Soul!
Is anyone gonna acknowledge the legendary Michael Conrad who played Sgt. Phil Esterhaus in the iconic cop show Hill Street Blues? Great actor!
I will! He was amazing. He also played in the Season 1 episode titled Iron Mike. Another legend. This series had a great cast of character actors from the pilot all the way through all 4 seasons.
Always thought he was underused in Hill Street Blues. Even Furillos ex wife got more screen time.
“Let’s be careful out there.”
This Starsky & Hutch tuft sucka...take it somewhere else 😜
Thank you for this. I love this show. Don’t make shows like these anymore.
Those were the days.. Brings back memories.. Brilliant
The BEST cop duo show EVER!! Grew up watching this show 🤣
I loved the TV show but didn't like the big screen version with Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Love Starsky and Hutch. Hot Wheels has a retro entertainment lineup with the Grand Torino as well as plenty of other cool cars. 53 here.
59 still driving around in a Torino every day! "Greenlight Hollywood" cars are also detailed.
Loved it! RIP David Soul😢
Unconditional love for Starksy and Hutch!
Yes ma'am, I'm that way too...
😊
Yes! Yes! Yes! Starsky and Hutch! I grew up on this show! Had the biggest crush on Paul Michael Glaser! This show will never get old!
I had the biggest crush on David soul. I thought he looked like Steve McQueen. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
I don't know why everyone thinks Huggy Bear is such a great character. I don't; he served his purpose, but that's it in my opinion!🫤
First saw this on Channel 4 when they showed it as part of an S&H theme night. It grew on me and it's a great way to kick off a series.
I believe this originally ran on the abc movie of the week. They would run pilots and made for TV movies. Most of them were excellent like this one.
Oh those wheels.Whst a car!
Golden days of the 70s
YES THIS MOVIE AIRED ON WEDNESDAY APRIL 30TH 1975. ABC. THE PILOT FOR THE SERIES AIRED ON WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 17TH 1975-ABC.
Always loved this show.
And the cars on the streets.. .take me back to my teens
Can't beat the old cars. More like trucks of today. We took them through the woods dirt road s and plenty of snow
Veritable tanks compared to some cars today.
Loved the chase scenes.
OMG. I loved this show so much. Had a big crush on David Soul. I'm 67 now. Seems like yesterday..
Now that was awesome and they are still the best cop duo ever!
It's a close call between them, and Panch and John from CHiPS.
@@jeffburnham6611 Nah - Regan and Carter always.
@@captainbeaky L😊L Thank 🦋 You for the laugh May 15,2021
After Crockett and Tubbs
Absolutely. They really did convince as friends as well. None of the others in the following posts did.
Used to watch this when I was little. Didn't understand it, but remember it like yesterday.
RIP Mr. David Soul (Det. Ken Hutchinson)
Gonna miss you.
