Trivia
ADD TRIVIA- In this episode, we hear, almost in a throw-away line, that Huggy Bear has given up his restaurant business. From this point on, we usually see Huggy in a different job or racket each episode (here he is selling motorised children's dolls on the street), until mid-third season, where we see him opening new bar "The Pits" in The Collector. Edit
- Sub-plot (running gag through-out the episode): Starsky's interest in horoscopes. Edit
- Huggy's racket: Selling "Dingle Dolls" – motorised toys. Edit
-
Notes
ADD NOTES- During the fight scene at the end of this episode it is clearly obvious when Starsky's stunt man (Chuck Picerni) is on screen. Edit
- In the United Kingdom, a 1984 repeat of this episode was the series' most watched episode of that year, clocking up 9.1 million viewers when it was shown on Tuesday 2nd August, 9:55 p.m., BBC 1. Edit
- Nellie Bellflower makes her first appearance as Sweet Alice, a southern-accented prostitute with a lust for Hutch. She is seen again later in the season, in 'A Coffin For Starsky'. Edit
