  • This may be a 'girlie' episode (well, it was written by a woman), but it encompasses several aspects of S & H that we/I may not have appreciated at the time...........moreless

    The first time I watched this episode, I was 12 years old, and an avid S & H fan, particularly PMG. I have just watched it again for the second time, thirty years on (OK, you do the maths - and can it really be that long ago?). I remembered every single aspect of this episode. At the time, I did not appreciate the 'brotherly love' between S& H which was clearly demonstrated in this episode, and although there was a lot of pain on both sides (again, for different reasons which we may not have recognised at the time), they overcame it all to 'get their man' at the end. And let's not forget Huggy, who managed to deliver exactly what was asked of him ('don't tell Hutch'). A wonderful series, and I'm only into series 2 at the moment............moreless

    • In the last segment of the episode, Starsky is in his kitchen rushing to answer the telephone. There is a window next to the telephone on the wall. The window has a white pull-down shade which has a big sketch of a Starsky self-portrait on it and in the right-hand lower corner Paul Michael Glaser's initials are there. It can be seen clearly in freeze-frame. Edit
    • Huggy's racket: Not a job/racket as such, but we do see Huggy getting his shoes polished by a buxom young woman in the red-light district as he gives Starsky & Hutch some information. Edit

    ADD NOTES
    • We get to see Joanna Kerns (credited as Joanna De Varona)--the mom in the sitcom Growing Pains--in a bit of a different light. In this episode, she's an employee of the bad guy and is somewhat scantily clad in the scenes she appears in. Edit
    • Doodles Weaver returns as Eddie Hoyle, befuddled street friend of 'Starpy & Hup' and first seen in the 1st season episode "The Bounty Hunter". Edit
    • Karen Carlson (Gillian) is actually David Soul's ex-wife. The pair had met and subsequently married in 1968 after Carlson guest starred in a couple of episodes of TV Western 'Here Come The Brides' (1968-1970) in which Soul starred. The pair divorced in 1977, but still remained friends afterwards. Carlson returns to play another character in the third season episode 'The Heroes'. Edit
