Despite their differences, the streetwise Brooklyn transplant Dave Starsky (Paul Michael Glaser) and his soft-spoken, intellectual partner Ken Hutchinson (David Soul) are the perfect undercover team for Bay City's toughest beats. With help from their jive-talking informant Huggy Bear, their boss Captain Harold Dobey and a souped-up red Ford, they race against the clock to find a stolen car that's been turned into a powerful bomb by an elderly couple looking to deliver a message about the deplorable living conditions for seniors. Relying on their very different perspectives in their pursuit to clean up Bay City's crime-infested streets, Starsky & Hutch take on powerful racketeers, big time drug dealers and low life addicts, prostitutes and pimps, cold blooded assassins and cop killers, powerful racists and even down-on-their-luck average Joes forced into crime just to make ends meet.

Watching this in 2023...brings back memories of my childhood in the 70s.
It's 2022.. and this show is better than anything on today .. amazing!!!
No PC Bs included thats why
@@williamhaynes7089 ...no preachy PC...plus the Police Chief, who chews their silly wheat @$$es on a regular basis ... is a Black man....
those two are enough to drive a man to Maalox ...
Being better than most modern tv shows isn’t really a high bar to cross. You just can’t beat a classic.
It's over mid way 2023, and....still the same!
2023 and you get the same comment under every video for some old show....amazing..ly pathetic.
RIP Hutch, such a fan of this show to this day.
They really knew to make great shows in the 70s and 80s. Love Starsky and Hutch
...no, he's Hutch, I'm Starsky
@@NormGagnon 😂😂😂
It's Tali Ye Loved the show they had great showers on the 60& 70 & 80 those were great years
@@user-pc3wt5hs4b yes sad we lost hutch 😕
I`M 59 YEARS OLD AND I`M STILL FAN OF THIS SHOW!
57 here.

58
65 and still love the show. David and Paul were terrific.
I watched the series Starsky and Hutch first time in 2020. Now I'm fan forever.
I just bought an original S & H Torino that Ford made in 1976. Waited 40 years to get one...Life Is Good!!!
Congrats.. I am still searching for one.
Rub it in. Dude!!!!
Right on man hopefully you put something in there that'll make her really motivate
Good shit
I had the chance to buy one in 1995 for $1000. I was 16, and decided not to buy it. One of the biggest mistake of my life. Still had the original S&H floor mats in it. Unfortunately, someone had installed a sunroof at some point.
What can I say......I'm 57 years old and these guys were my heroes growing up....especially Mr. Soul. I bought my first single 'Don't Give Up On Us' back in 1976 and 'Silver Lady' in 1977. Both worldwide hits! In the late 90's I got to see him at a very small concert in Northampton. It was a great night and after David was signing autographs. I remember I said I was a big fan and he said ''well introduce yourself'' which I did and then I showed him my records that I'd bought back in the day. He was taken back that I'd kept them so long and that they were the first two records that I'd ever bought. He was so kind and signed them both. May you Rest In Peace David Soul you still are one of my heroes. God bless you.
Such a great show. RIP David Soul.
epic leg drop. Rest Soul
R.I.P. David Soul. Thanks for being Hutch in "Starsky and Hutch".. I`m still in love with this show.
I haven't seen this for 49 years. Incredible to think it's nearly half a century 😢 I think the French Connection was a bit of an influence on this show. And having the original theme at the end worked really well.
RIP David Soul.
I used to watch this with my daughter when she was still very young, I’m now 77 and I still enjoy watching Starsky and Hutch like it was just a week ago. Thanks for the replay
RIP David Soul. Another icon from childhood gone
Man now I remember why I loved this show so much as a kid. I have no doubt this spawned Lethal Weapon, Diehard etc. Soul and Glaser were such great actors with great chemistry.
I would have loved to see more of John Michael Glaser after S$H, because he was such a great actor!
@@Dionysos640 I stand corrected. Paul, it is.
Pilot of an epic series, with epic characters, in an epic relationship, with epic chemistry!
Its almost like they knew each other since there were kids
You forgot the epic car.
@@geraldeh7291 epic candy apple red Torino with the white swoosh!
@@saransong5547 The guys hated that car, The Striped Tomato, and did all they could to destroy it. LOL
@@RockerH2526 I'm aware! But a lot of fans love it!
One of the great tv series of the 70's. Loved watching every week as a kid.
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!
Same! Loved the action.
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.
RIP HUTCH loved them in the 70 what a series never missed it on a Saturday 😢
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.
It was a great series every week something to look forward to .the 70s TV had so much going for it bring back 70s tv and 80s music its a perfect match
@@robertfisher2844 I very much agree!
Pity it was never continued at a later date unfortunately some good things come to a end 😢
@@robertfisher2844 I read once that Paul M G wanted out to do other things.
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
I’m 65 and still having a great time re-watching this wonderful series.
Starsky & Hutch, Swat, Adam-12, all great TV shows from a golden era of TV.
Mod Squad.
Hawaii, Five O and Rockford Files.
Emergency One ...

Chips and The Fugitive?
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.
I had forgotten how much I liked this show as a kid. Still great
Huggy Bear was such a popular character, Antonio Fargas was perfect casting for the role.
I agree. Although I think all of the cast was picked so well. Hubby Bear certainly was a huge part of the show.
@@charlessmith3758 And 'Merle the Earl the customising Pearl'.....
@@charlessmith3758 Get out of here with your bs troll nobody's falling for it.

@@charlessmith3758 His name was in the credits at the beginning - they usually don't appear at the end as well.
I watched this pilot episode when it premiered back in '75.... better days, simpler times... thanks for posting...
Simpler? Maybe. Better? Debatable. Better TV? Absolutely!
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!

That's amazing and you watched TV 📺
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
I think the remake film was pretty good too
Great comment 👍
@@Roscoe.P.Coldchain Thank you!
I know exactly how you feel! I feel the same way about Star Trek: The Original Series, The Next Generation and Voyager.
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.
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....
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!😶
Richard Ward who played the original captain had the best gravely voice ever.
He really did!
Is this him? Because I was just thinking that I didn't remember the captain being such a dreadful actor.
@@cyflym11 that is Richard Ward in the pilot. Bernie Hamilton played Capt. Dobey in the series.
@@saransong5547 Richard Ward appeared on Good times and Sanford and son. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
One of my all time favorite TV shows. You could tell those two had a special friendship on and off screen.
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 really miss great actors and great television like this. Thanks for sharing this pilot of Starsky and Hutch!
I remember running down the stairs saying Starsky and Hutch with my friends! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for all the episodes i watched as a child. RIP
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.
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 🩷
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!
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.
Copied Hutch's wife beating too, no doubt.
Watched every one episode , except one when I went to Cornwall on holiday in 1976 the hot summer.
Always good to be 1st or at least 2nd generaton.
当時、日本では火曜日の午後10時の放送だったかと記憶しています。10才頃でしたが、もちろんリアルタイムに観てトリノが欲しくなりました。我が家のテレビも音声多重放送に対応したステレオテレビだったので、生の英語を聞きながら視聴していました。
EV車に代わろうとする時代ですが、チャンスがあれば7Lのトリノに乗ってみたいと想うあの頃の気持ちは続いています。
Saturday evenings in the UK were never better than the 70’s for TV. All game shows and bloody casualty now!
yeah agree, all crap now
When was Benny Hill and Monty Python on? I remember when I was a kid in the 70's they were on PBS here in America. I have great memories of me and my dad watching Benny Hill and Monty Python.
Dukes of Hazard
The pink panther
Russ Abbot
A Saturday movie
Then
Starsky and Hutch
And Match of the Day
Splendid evenings spent at home with family
@@scottdunn2178
Benny Hill was aired from in the UK in the 50s upto 1989...
In the 70s it was the most popular show on tv
Monty Python 1969-74...
Liked Benny Hill
Hated Monty Python....
@@toucheturtle...6547 We loved Benny Hill much better as well... my dad would just roll at Benny slapping the old bald guy on the head real fast... and of course, he loved the "T&A" (tits and ass).
I have all the episodes on DVD, and despite watching them regularly this is still my favourite episode. Absolutely love it.
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...
@@randyjohnson6845 one of my faves as well
@@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 season 2 episode 25. It's called starsky and hutch are guilty...
@@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...
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!
Same in our House
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
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 :)
The plot is hokey, but a thousand times better than the utter GARBAGE on almost every TV station today.
Have you seen TJ Hooker ?
@@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.
@@Max-lw1dw I liked him as Denny Crane But he will always be remembered as Capt Kirk
Im 59 and I will always be a fan of Starsky and Hutch love these guys and the episodes
I loved this series as a kid. Never missed an episode.
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.
OMG THIS WAS a great show back then...and I am watching it in 2023 ! It can't get any better !
4 creeps arrested by Starsky & Hutch voted this down.
6 now

7 now!
27 now, all liberal Democrats
It's 37 creeps now!
Some episodes were average and some were very good. This episode wasn't average...excellent writing
A very fine pilot. Sets up the whole series perfectly.
The bar scene reminds me of the one in The French Connection with Gene Hackman. It's a great scene though.
It's cool to see what they would later be using in the opening credits for the show.
THIS IS A MOVIE (APRIL 30TH 1975-ABC) THE PILOT AIRED ON (WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 17TH)1975-ABC.
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😢
I loved this show, never missed a episode
Well done pilot. Starch and Husky was an iconic show.
I loved Starsky and Hutch as a kid.
This pilot was excellent!
This is brilliant 👍👍 Thanks for sharing!!! One of my favourite shows of all time .
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...
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).
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.
WHAT A GEM!! For me to see this on 2022. I was 7 years old when I saw this on TV!! So good to appreciate this now !! Thank you !!!
Loved this show as a kid! Even got the Starsky wrap cardigan when I was in high school!
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!
I really enjoyed watching this show and I'm still a huge fan
Rest In Peace David Soul. I still love this show.
Who wasn’t a fan back then. Seriously.
RIP Davis Soul
Unconditional love for Starksy and Hutch!
Yes ma'am, I'm that way too...
😊
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 👍😎
I loved this TV series when I was young.
I can remember being out and rushing home to watch it.
I'll always love that car! Was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid.😃
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.

I loved the TV show but didn't like the big screen version with Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Loved it! RIP David Soul😢
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!!!
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!
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!

Brings back fond memories of my adolescent/early adult years.
This was such a huge show here in UK in late 70s
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!
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!

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.
I was 4 years old when this came on. I'm 51 and still can't stop watching over and over.
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.
OMG. I loved this show so much. Had a big crush on David Soul. I'm 67 now. Seems like yesterday..
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.
Loved this show when I was a kid but I missed a few early episodes including this one. Glad UA-cam has this one. Looking forward to catch up on all episodes.
Thanks for sharing this epi. I love this duo! 👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
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!
Starsky and Hutch is a fine TV show. Watch every week
Those were the days.. Brings back memories.. Brilliant
Thank You for posting this it was one my favorite shows.
RIP Mr. David Soul (Det. Ken Hutchinson)
Gonna miss you.
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!🫤
The greatest bromance in TV history, is Starsky and Hutch.
More than Ponch and Jon? Apollo and Starbuck? Tod and Buz? Hawkeye and Trapper? Bert and Ernie? Phineas and Ferb?
@@tommissouri4871 yes
The coolest show of the 70's. That car and the guys - wow.
The movie with Ben Stiller & Luke Wilson has the best ending with the OG's making their cameo. You can't help but smile.
This and Hill Street blues were innovators of new styles of police shows and both really great at the time. As a Brit in the Uk at the time, they were even more different than what we were used to.
WOW. Hill Street Blues. A brilliant TV police series. I just wish the TV Channel of Talking Pictures would repeat the US series. Or ITV4 or DRAMA. Repeat the classics. Oh very happy TV viewing memories. Better than today's crap.
@@darrylashton8428 yes, I remember the first episode of Hill Street - I knew it was something special within 5 minutes of it opening. I entirely agree with you about those older programmes being better than today’s, which rely on some pretty bad scripts being covered up by flashy effects. I hardly watch tv these days - I watch old British detective and comedy programmes on Britbox, Acorn TV and Prime, like Morse, A Touch Of Frost, and so on, and the even older Scottish Taggart which is admittedly slow but full of character. Straddling comedy and humor, Hamish MacBeth stands the test of time apart from the annoying girlfriend :)
Its odd you should mention hill street because 1 of the hitmen was in it
Hill Street was good, this was just fluff.
