• 164. The note Matt Coyle writes out for Starsky and Hutch to bring in Longman is completely different than the one Hutch shows Johnny at the bar.

The second note has five lines, smaller print, different font and the words “Johnny Longman,” which the first note did not have. (Iron Mike)

• 176. Hutch says 1427 Lennox is “near where we found that medallion.” Starsky and Hutch didn’t find the medallion, it came off of Danny Daveen, the drug dealer, in Starsky’s cab. And to be more precise, a cut scene shows Danny finding it in the trash. (Quadromania)

• 177. Lionel chooses his victims from the cabstand on 3rd and Main. His accident, which he is avenging with the time and place, occurs at 4th and Main (according to the newspaper article).

The clock reads 6:10 after Laura hits Harry with the vase, yet it is still very, very bright outside. Even here in Minnesota, in the dead of winter, the sun stays up until 4:00 or 4:30. Just what time does the sun go down in Bay City? (Deckwatch)

• 182. Lizzie Thorpe tells her husband she will be home by midnight. It appears it is 12:30, a half an hour past this time when Starsky and Hutch realize Marty Decker isn’t their suspect, get the word about her car being located and then rushing off.

Dobey tells Hutch, after Kendall is found, his and Starsky’s cover better be better than the agents “tonight,” which would be Amateur Night at the Backwoods Inn. It is certainly at least one day later, perhaps more, when Starsky and Hutch wrap up the case with the dance contest still coming up that night. (Moonshine)

The time on the watch is 7:13. (Ballad For a Blue Lady)
