• 101.M. How do Corman and
Burke get Crandell’s body outside? The door is locked and
the window seems an unlikely choice. (Snowstorm)
• 102.M. Why does Dobey all of a sudden start yelling the
numbers he is reading back to Starsky on the phone? (Fix)
• 103.M. If Starsky is trying to hide Hutch, why does he
park the Torino right in front of Huggy Bear’s? (Fix)
• 104.M. When Hutch takes off in a cab, why doesn’t Huggy
alert Starsky? (Fix)
• 105.M. Is Starsky armed when he is in that upstairs room
with Hutch? (Fix)
• 106.N Nectar or ambrosia? Huggy, both would work. Nectar
is sweet substance from a plant. Ambrosia is drink or food
of the Greek gods. (Fix)
• 107.M. Which department does Hutch call when he says,
‘Hutchinson, send an ambulance to Huggy Bear’s restaurant.
Tell Captain Dobey to send over a back up unit”?
Switchboard? Desk? Why doesn’t he request the back up
directly? (Snowstorm)
• 108.M. What was in the little wrapped gift Abby placed on
Hutch’s plate when she cooked dinner for him at his place?
Hopefully not a watch, saying, “Forever Abby.” (Vendetta)
• 109.N. Starsky tells Gillian, “Back east, like
Cleveland.” This makes Hutch’s comment that he lived next
door to the Blake’s “back east,” more understandable. By
this definition of “back east,” Duluth would qualify,
rather than a locale on the eastern seaboard. (Gillian,
Terror on the Docks)
• 110.M. If Fifth Avenue is so hard to get a hold of, why
does Hutch interrupt Dispatch during the phone number read
off and asked to be patched through? one would think he
would want to save that number for later, if nothing else
to save Wally’s next car. (Lady Blue)
• 111.N. Chief Ryan and Captain Dobey are both called
“Chief of Detectives.” (Starsky and Hutch Are Guilty,
Captain Dobey, You’re Dead)
• 112.M. Starsky and Mickey say, “I’ll have a beer” in
precisely the same way. An accent thing? Or did they do
that scene so many times together it became an earworm of
sorts? (Gillian, Fix)
• 113.M. Why does Bellamy only get a year sentence when
caught with the drugs with Jerry? He had already been
convicted of pimping, pushing, armed robbery and suspected
of two homicides. (A Coffin for Starsky)
• 114.M. What makes Starsky and Hutch so sure that the APB
will cause a policeman to shoot Larry on sight? (Silence)
• 115.N. Either Bessinger has his sport jacket in the car
or he makes a stop at his house for it. Apparently he feels
the need to dress up his look from the bar to crack a safe.
(Silence)
• 116.M. Why does Hutch ask Officer Bill in R & I to
call “Parole” to get Prudholm’s current address? While
Parole certainly has this information, why doesn’t R &
I have it? And if R & I doesn’t keep current addresses,
then all of those types of questions would require a call
to Parole. (Pariah)
• 117.M. Where are Starsky’s pants at the hospital? He had
them on when Bellamy left. Did the paramedics take them
off? (A Coffin for Starsky)
• 118.N. No wonder Starsky likes Sharman; she runs just
like him. (Running)
• 119.N. Starsky’s “date” on the couch at the Cheese Ball
Party at Hutch’s place looks just like Starsky from the
back. (Deadly Imposter)
• 120.M. If Sue Ann’s last show is at 11:00, are Starsky,
Hutch and Dobey giving her preferential treatment by having
her fill out her complaint at Metro at roughly 1:30 in the
morning? (Long Walk Down a Short Dirt Road)
• 121.N. Sharon really did a good job scouring those thrift
stores; the fake Starsky is wearing the same shirt the real
Starsky wears in a later episode. (Starsky and Hutch Are
Guilty, Specialist)
• 122.N. Both the fake Starsky and the real Starsky like to
work on models. The real Starsky: ships. The fake Starsky:
cars. (Fatal Charm, Starsky and Hutch Are Guilty)
• 123.M. Starsky and Hutch said they stayed fifteen
minutes, from 2:55 to 3:10. Mrs. Marlowe said she saw
“them” leave at 3:30. It makes the most sense that she saw
the real Starsky and Hutch arrive and the fake ones leave.
But this doesn’t jive with what the viewer sees Mrs.
Marlowe see. It also appears she would have had to see two
sets arriving and only one leaving. Lennie Atkins hears,
along with the viewer, the fake Starsky and Hutch stay with
Oscar Newton for a total of perhaps thirty-five seconds,
which anyone taking their depositions would see clash
information. This whole timing thing doesn’t make a lot of
sense, showing it might be more than Mrs. Marlowe’s
eyesight that is mixed up. (Starsky and Hutch Are Guilty)
• 124.N. Vending machines seem to require either for a
quarter or fifteen cents, yet Starsky is always short a
dime. (Fix, Rosey Malone)
• 125.N. Dobey says the call about Blaine came in a few
minutes ago, and he has already called Maggie? (Death in a
Different Place)
• 126.N. “David” is used way more often than “Ken”
regardless of the speaker. (Manchild on the Streets,
Starsky’s Lady, Death in a Different Place, A Coffin for
Starsky…)
• 127.M. Dobey says the, “Department is under a lot of
pressure to let gays on the force.” Next sentence he
utters, “So the department is not anxious to let the world
know that one of its finest might have been a homosexual.”
It seems that Dobey is making two opposing statements.
(Death in a Different Place)
• 128.M. If the plague can be detected by a simple blood
test on the street, how come it couldn’t be found in Hutch
when he was in the hospital the first time? (Plague)
• 129.N. Perhaps it is the current times, but Helen’s
comments about Callendar’s interest in Richie seem to be
more along the lines of sexual interest rather than
fatherly disappointment. (Plague)
• 130. Vanessa says it is Hutch’s habit to go out for his
jog at 6:15 am, but Hutch is jogging at 9:30 when called to
Garras’ murder. (Hutchinson For Murder One, Collector)
• 131.N. Annie’s dog, “Duvcha” seems to be a Russian word.
As close as I can tell (¡ÂÁ Ô‚Ӊ‡) means “absence, or
without.” But this is very rudimentary. Jack also refers to
dog as “Duvcha Khan,” “khan” meaning a prince or king in
Persia or Turkey. (Collector)
• 132.M. Starsky must have Huggy’s number memorized. Why
does he need to have it written down on the money band?
(Action)
• 133.M. How did Stevie get to the sports arena? Spenser
alludes to the mom being unaware Stevie us at the fights,
and Stevie has no ride home. (Heavyweight)
• 134.M. Why, with two different actors, did they stick
with the name “Dobey” after the Pilot? It would make more
sense, and work well, to have their captain just be a
different man with a different name. (Pilot,various)
• 135.N. Starsky and Hutch first see white Chevy at 1:20.
They are in meeting with Dobey at 1:37. This makes for some
fast footwork, as well as a short distance, from when they
narrowly avoid hitting the truck with Milty and when they
sit down with the Captain. Include in this seventeen
minutes, Starsky and Hutch’s need to turn over their
prisoner, Milty, and get up to Dobey’s office, the timing
is even more amazing. (Savage Sunday)
• 136.M. Dobey tells Sarah and Henny they are free to
leave; their lawyer paid their bail two hours ago. Why does
Dobey keep them sitting there that long? (Savage Sunday)
• 137.M. Hutch mentions “trace of heroin in the blood
analysis,” regarding either Huey Chaco or John Brown
Harris. Where did they get the blood? Off of Emmalou’s
body? Neither Chaco or Harris seems to have been injured.
(Texas Longhorn)
• 138.M. Huey Chaco is released because he can’t be held
for Murder One. Starsky says they should have held him,
Dobey asks, “Hold him on what?” How about holding a woman
at knifepoint and threatening to kill her? (Texas Longhorn)
• 139.M. How well does Starsky know Jeanie Walton? Starsky
describes her as a pretty girl, knows where she lives and
can get into her home. Yet he didn’t know she had been
working as a waitress in his favorite bar. (Fix)
• 140.M. Why does Starsky fire only one bullet at Rodgers
when they are fired upon on the street? Starsky’s gun
either appears to have jammed, though he says nothing to
Hutch. Either that, or he only had one bullet going into
gunfight, which seems careless. He does something to it
quick enough to cover Hutch as he runs across the street.
(Snowstorm)
• 141.M. Why is Starsky’s gun in his back pants pocket, and
not in his holster, as he fights Burke on the couch?
(Snowstorm)
• 142.M. Why doesn’t Dobey give Starsky the message from
Mickey over the Torino radio, instead of relying on Huggy?
(Fix)
• 143.M. Why doesn’t Starsky handcuff Forest right away
when he puts him in the Torino? (Fix)
• 144.M. How did Internal Affairs get involved with the
missing kilo of cocaine? It is doubtful Stryker called them
with a complaint. The guy Stryker bailed out wouldn’t know.
Dobey gives Starsky and Hutch forty-eight hours, “What
Stryker gave you,” so one knows Starsky and Hutch talked to
Dobey about it. (Snowstorm)
• 145.N. Matt Coyle sends Starsky and Hutch to Schulz’s Bar
to sneak on Johnny Lonigan. The bar’s address is 1326
Devon. Years later, Starsky and Hutch hear of a “211 in
progress” over the police radio at the same address. (Iron
Mike, Moonshine)
• 146.M. Is Starsky not wearing his gun? Or if he is, how
does he expect to get it out from that zipped red
sweatshirt? Or that blue zippered sweatshirt? (Captain
Dobey, You’re Dead, Deadly Imposter)
• 147.M. Why does Bettin come to Elaine’s murder site?
There was no connection with Jojo at that point, and Bettin
is a busy Fed. (Jojo)
• 148.N. Either a sign of the times, or a choice the
writers made, but Starsky and Hutch dealing with reporters
is kept at a complete minimum. One would think juggling the
media would be a much bigger part of their job. (various)
• 149.M. Isn’t Dobey worried about slander on Sutton’s show
when he accuses Woodfield, along with showing his photo, of
murdering Douglas?(Captain Dobey, You’re Dead)
• 150.N. On the side of the laundry bin at Vinnie’s, the
one Colby falls in, has “SDPO” on it. Perhaps this is a
mail bin, borrowed from San Diego Post Office? (Deadly
Imposter)
