In the rough-and-tumble, wildly entertaining world of IStarsky Hutch/I, impatient cops--anxious to join a foot race in pursuit of a villain--throw themselves out of moving vehicles and roll to a bruising stop. Undercover detectives Dave Starsky (Paul Michael Glaser) and Ken "Hutch" Hutchinson (David Soul), hardly imbued with the powers of Spider-Man, routinely scale walls, hop from rooftop to rooftop, and fling themselves down steep hillsides to stop bad guys from doing what bad guys do. p Two years before IHill Street Blues/I redefined the cop genre as a mesh of overlapping storylines and workaday frustrations, Aaron Spelling's IStarsky Hutch/I capped a five-year run (1975-1979) portraying LA's finest as madly heroic creatures of reckless determination and physicality. IThe Complete First Season/I reminds us how startlingly brutal this primetime series could be while maintaining a delightful, often incongruous, self-deprecating humor. p From the series pilot on, partners and best pals Starsky and Hutch work a fine line between predator and prey, relentlessly pursuing suspects while also snared by crime chieftains or short-sighted superiors. In "The Fix," Hutch's secret romance with the former girlfriend of a mafia boss (Robert Loggia) results in the lawman's kidnapping and forced addiction to heroin. Similarly, in "A Coffin for Starsky," a mad chemist injects the wisecracking cop with a slow-acting but lethal poison. "Jo-Jo," written by Michael Mann, finds our guys at loggerheads with federal officers over a dumb deal the G-Men make with a serial rapist. p The 23 episodes in this set are all fun, if sometimes shocking, viewing. Expect each character to take as much abuse as he dishes out. Still, the comic sight of Starsky and Hutch (in "Death Notice") trying to conduct business amidst busy strippers is well worth the surrounding violence. I--Tom Keogh/I

I got these as a gift. I watched this show growing up, but had not seen it since. It is just as entertaining today as it was then. It is fun watching the episodes and seeing a lot of actors who became stars later. It was one of the great 'buddy cop' shows, and still better than most of the cop shows on TV now. I would recommend this DVD set to any fan of the original show or to anyone for that matter.

This is one of my all-time favorite shows from the seventies. This first season DVD is great and brings back a lot of memories. I never missed an episode of Starsky Hutch when I was a kid - and now I realize that this show has stood the test of time with me. I would recommend this to all fans of the show. And what until you see the inside packaging! So cool. :)
