Seeing Starsky & hutch back on dvd over the past year or so has been a joy (the movie wasn't such a big joy, I didn't like the way they chose to turn the characters around and rappers should in my mind stay away from, well, everything). These guys are so likeable, the car is so retro cool and Huggy bear is actualy kind of a sweet guy (and not a spaced out weed head like Snoop, whatever the name is this week, is), I've run through the episode like i was adicted, and I've seen them all again all over again after that. And since I like a lot of music from the time period and a lot of my favorite movies were made back then, it fits into my... well, like Rob said in High Fidelity, it's my personal fettish.

The third season is a bit more drama, a bit more characters and toned down action. This was not because ratings were failing, but because a lot of conserned parents and busy bodies in the late 70's thought shows like this spawned violent behaviour in children and so on (what they would have done if they saw todays the Shield i don't know, probably have a stroke). So the third season might seem a little on the lackluster side compared to the previous two, but the humour is still good, and the guys, allthough a bit more serious and sad at times, are still the only Starsky & Hutch you'll ever need.
