Long Walk Down a Short Dirt RoadEpisode Number: 46 Season Num: 2 First Aired: Saturday March 12, 1977 Prod Code: 43 |
The dashing Detectives try to catch the deranged stalker who is hounding a successful country singer, and will only stop if she pays him $10,000. At first, the anonymous madman just issues threats via phone, but when he turns to murder, Starsky and Hutch must piece together just who the extortionist is and capture him before anyone else is killed...
| Writer: | Edward J. Lakso |
| Director: | George McCowan |
| Star: | Paul Michael Glaser (Detective Sergeant David "Dave" Michael Starsky), David Soul (Detective Sergeant Kenneth "Ken Hutch" Hutchinson), Bernie Hamilton (Captain Harold C. Dobey), Antonio Fargas ("Huggy Bear" Brown) |
| Guest Star: | Lynn Anderson (Sue Ann Grainger), Joshua Bryant (Jerry Tabor [as Josh Bryant]), Dick Haynes (Cal Claybourne), Scatman Crothers ("Fireball"), Ben Gerard (Engingeer), Jack Grinnage (Hotel Clerk), Marc Plastrik (Technician), Walter Scott (Redneck), Bo White (Bellboy), Skip Young (Bartender) |
Special Guest Star Scatman Crothers plays "Fireball". Only seen in one scene, playing (imaginary) baseball with Huggy, we don't learn much about his character other than he seems to be an ex-baseball star, who's possibly suffered some mental problems. A talented musician, with countless classic movie credits to his name, Scatman Crothers also provided the voice of 'Hong Kong Phooey', in the cult 1970s Hanna Barbera cartoon series. Incidentally, this is the last episode that Huggy Bear is seen in until the next season.
(edit)
Lynn Anderson (country singer Sue Ann Grainger) is in real-life a singer, nowadays retired, and wrote and performed the songs heard in this episode.

As Starsky and Hutch see off some brawling rednecks:
Redneck: "Lousy Cops, what right've you got hanging around Sue Ann?"
Hutch: "Mess with the lady again, friend, you're gonna find out."
Starsky: "Hey... that's terrific. You sound just like Dirty Harry."
Hutch: "Dirty who?"
Starsky: "Harry. Cop over in San Francisco."
Hutch: "Oh."
- A nod to the Dirty Harry movies, in which David Soul (Hutch) co-starred in the second, 'Magnum Force' (1973) (edit)
