Talk:Starsky and Hutch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
". . . episodes of 48 minutes and a single 90 minute pilot . . ."
Perhaps I am unaware of the usual practice in designating runtimes (which is why I am asking here instead of just editing), but listing "48-minute" episodes and a "90-minute" pilot together does not seem quite accurate. The actual content of each of the episodes is 48 minutes long (comprising, with commercial breaks, a standard hour-long episode). On the other hand, the actual content of the "90-minute" pilot only comes to 70 minutes; with commercial breaks it would presumably run 90 minutes or longer.
Of course (as I have said) the double standard here may be an understood convention of which I am unaware. But if it is not, the pilot should be designated, like the episodes, by its runtime without commercial breaks — 70, not 90, minutes. Sara 00:24, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Sorry I'm a bit too young to have seen the TV Show but I thought the movie was alright. In the movie wasn't Hutch the dumb one? It says here he was the smarter one. Redwolf24 23:48, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- It depends on how you look at it, Starsky acts more professionaly than Hutch, but Hutch clearly has more street-smarts and intelligence than Starsky. Like Redwolf, I'm too young to have seen the TV show and I'm basing this on the movie. Haddock420 12:02, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

- How can you be too young to have seen a TV show? I'm 15 and I've seen it. Some people just aren't ambitious enough when it comes to watching television!
[edit] Torino or Gran Torino?
OK, so in the music video for Barenaked Ladies' One Week, there's a "Gran Torino" with a Starsky & Hutch paint job. The article says "Torino," but was it a "Gran Torino" as the music video wou have us believe? --Jnelson09 22:28, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Recent edit
This diff [1] seen in recent changes needs citation and even with that it still seems inappropriate. I am too young to remember it and have never seen any of the episodes that I can recall. Were references like that even made about TV shows in the 70s? -John Lake 22:10, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Theme song
The show's theme song was recorded by the James Taylor Quartet.
Although the James Taylor Quartet recorded a version of the theme song, it is highly unlikely that it is the one we hear in the series. As stated in the corresponding Wikipedia article James Taylor Quartet released their first single in 1985, 10 years after the pilot was broadcast. I cannot provide the actual composer, though.
