Pilot: Starsky & Hutch (TV Episode)

Plot

Paul Michael Glaser is Starsky, David Soul is Hutch in this TV movie pilot for the extraordinarily popular 1970s cop series. The two charismatic undercover cops go after a team of syndicate hit men. Then they go in the opposite direction (but only temporarily) when they discover that they're the ones who'll be "hit." S and H's supervisor (Bernie Hamilton) isn't around for the pilot, but Antonio Fargas shows up as street snitch Huggy Bear. While this first Starsky and Hutch adventure is only so-so, the rapport between the two leads sold the series, which lasted from 1975 through 1979. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
