Detailed Information

First screeching onto television screens in 1975 'Starsky & Hutch' brought much of the streetwise grit, violence, and the sheer excitement from hit movies such as 'Dirty Harry' to the small screen. There have been many Police TV series ever since then beginning of television, but 'Starsky & Hutch' had something else – this show was undoubtedly "cool". A huge hit at the time, and still stands its ground against the new Police series of today.
