Perhaps the archetypal 1970's American cop show, Dave Starsky (Paul Michael Glaser) and Ken 'Hutch' Hutchinson (David Soul) are plainclothes cops patrolling the streets of an unnamed city--portrayed by Los Angeles--in a 1973 red Grand Torino. Dark-haired Starsky, who has an unflagging appetite and a quick quip for any situation, and tall, blonde, heart-throb Hutch, who is more soulful and serious, are not just partners on the job--they are also close friends. But their unorthodox methods are endlessly frustrating for their boss, Captain Dobey (Bernie Hamilton).

The duo has a powerful ally on the street, however, in the police informant Huggy Bear (Antonio Fargas), a shady character who provides Starsky and Hutch with plenty of inside information. Full of tyre-screeching chases, shoot-outs, running and jumping up and down fire escapes and across busy roads, STARSKY AND HUTCH has plenty of street-wise action and humour. Contains series 1 to 4 of STARKSY AND HUTCH.
