• 151.N. The patient in the
other bed at the Infirmary appears to be Starsky’s stunt
double, perhaps the only guy that could take care of
himself while locked in the room with a creepy rapist.
(Strange Justice)
• 152. M. Why does Starsky ask, “Don’t tell me Accounting
is into that again.” It would seem getting reimbursed for
business expenses would be something Starsky and Hutch
would expect. Either that, or they are used to submitting
vague forms without proof to get their money back.
(Hutchinson for Murder One)
• 153.N. Everyone should be more than a little worried when
six gunshots are heard in the hotel, when Starsky and Hutch
empty Buddy’s gun, and no one arrives to investigate.
(Dandruff)
• 154.M Why does the fake business card for the plumbing
service have only four numbers? To look like something from
outside the building, it needed a prefix. (Running)
• 155.M Is that a mezuzah outside Sweet Alice’s door? It
can be seen when Starsky is counting to twenty and waiting
to knock. (A Coffin for Starsky)
• 156.M “Orange Whip” “The delicious whipped drink…made
with real orange flavor” is what Huggy and his “business
manager are enjoying when Starsky and Hutch stop to hassle
him about his Pakistani hat. Is it a pre-courser or
knockoff of the Orange Julius? (Strange Justice)
• 157.M. If Jimmy Shannon had no wallet, how was he
identified so quickly? (Vendetta)
• 158.N. The poster in Sammy Reese’s office advertises a
fight between “Kid McCook” and “Mike Mason.” It is a set
prop, and it was used in the original Star Trek series in
the episode “City on the Edge of Forever.” When Star Trek
Enterprise did the fourth season episode “Storm Front,”
they used the same/similar poster, echoing that episode.
The Starsky and Hutch set designers must have dug it up out
of some shared prop pool. (Golden Angel)
• 159.M. Do Starsky and Hutch have their guns on the
Amapola? Hutch appears to have his trusty Python after the
dune buggy desert chase. (Murder at Sea)
• 160.N. Starsky comments, “You don’t kill a couple of
people to cover up some misdemeanor convictions.” True, but
if that is all it was, it wouldn’t warrant sending in two
undercover detectives either. (Murder at Sea)
• 161.M. Who is Artie Solkin’s boss? Solkin talks about
making a score, he lives in a dump and isn’t smart enough
to be in charge of anything. Starsky and Hutch never seem
to be curious about who he is working for. (Vendetta)
• 162.M. What does Abby do for a living that she can be at
a park on a Wednesday in the middle of the day? (Vendetta)
• 163.M. Is that Helen Carnowski’s little two-door,
green-blue sports car parked in garage where Eckworth is
attacked? It may also seen in the Torino’s windshield as a
reflection by the old storefront Hutch goes to? (Murder at
Sea, Vendetta, Bloodbath)
• 164.M. What is Gillian typing? (Gillian)
• 165.M. Why are they called pins? I don’t know either,
Nancy. (Gillian)
• 166.M. Curtains in place of bar doors is a real tradition
or a cost-saving production thing? (Huggy Bear and the
Turkey, Velvet Jungle)
• 167.M. What’s the deal with the swastika on Huggy’s jean
vest when he is outside Matt Coyle’s apartment? (Iron Mike)
• 168.M. Where are the other five cops, not including the
security guard, while it was all going down on the floor?
(Iron Mike)
• 169.M. Who was the plaid blouse for? (Iron Mike)
• 170.N. The “C” on the shield on Coyle’s car door is the
same as the one on the side of his warehouse in “Coyle’s
Provisions” which is a nice touch. (Iron Mike)
• 171.N. Kira is not much of a cop if she can’t get away
from an unarmed man with a dog. (Starsky vs. Hutch)
• 172.M. Can police come into your house to investigate a
burglary when you are not home? Without permission? Marcie
Fletcher seems to know you can’t. “Don’t you need a warrant
to break down a door?” Starsky’s excuse was the door was
unlocked. Was Marcie’s response to call her attorney a good
one? And did Starsky and Hutch have the right to physically
restrain her from calling him or her? (Photo Finish)
• 173.N. Nick’s leap onto Starsky’s bed echoes Starsky’s
leap onto bed. (Starsky’s Brother, Foxy Lady)
• 174.N. Dolly’s barn looks to be the same barn Starsky and
Hutch get trapped in by Ernie Bagley? (Moonshine, Trap)
• 175.N. Schultz’s Bar, where Johnny Lonigan goes to rough
up the owner of at 1326 Devon and Nikki’s house of
prostitution at 1328 should be right next to each other.
(Iron Mike, Starsky and Hutch Are Guilty)
• 176.M. Why does Starsky refer to Andrea Gutierrez as “our
prisoner”? She hasn’t committed any crime. (Velvet Jungle)
• 177.M. Why does Bates know Soldier has been dead at least
two days, but hasn’t told Gunther? (Targets Without a Badge
3)
• 178.M. All that blood? All those wounds? And none on
Monique? (Avenger)
• 179.M. Two murders in three nights on her bed and Monique
still goes back to stay there? Not only is this pretty
weird, but her apartment would be a crime scene to which
she wasn’t allowed back in for a while. (Avenger)
• 180.M. If Nick is such a good pool player, why did he
lose the first game? Or is that part of the hustle?
(Starsky’s Brother)
• 181.N. Starsky must be in touch enough with Nick to know
he is “another Will Mosconi.” (Starsky’s Brother)
• 182.M. The number of cops with glasses is very small. Are
they wearing contacts? Is excellent eyesight a requirement?
Are glasses discouraged/banned? Is there something in the
water of Bay City that gives them all fantastic vision? One
cop with eyeglasses is the uniform at the Carmelle’s
printing. One Federal Agent with glasses is Agent Carter.
(Starsky’s Brother, Bait)
• 183.M. Meredith asks Starsky, “What are you so salty
about?” What does this mean? (Black and Blue)
• 184.M. Starsky tells Dobey “8427” seen on letter Monique
finds is “the last half of a zip code” in skid row. It
isn’t really “half” if it is only missing one number.
Current viewers could assume he did mean half of the ZIP+4
codes we use today, but those didn’t come into use until
1983. This assumes, knowing California ZIP codes all start
with a “9,” the ZIP is 98427. This, however, make it a
place in Washington State. Strangely, there are no ZIP
codes that start with 984, even in Washington as ZIP code
structure skips from 983 to 985. (Avenger)
• 185.M. What do the letters “CII” stand for? It is the
place Starsky gets fingerprints. Central Identification
Information? Something else? Fictional? (Avenger)
• 186.N. The mayor’s speech when returning Starsky and
Hutch’s badges seems like it should end with, “I now
pronounce you husband and wife.” (Targets Without a Badge
3)
• 187.N. The green and white dirt bike Starsky rides to
cover Hutch and the one Hutch rides to find Starsky appear
to be the same bike. (Psychic, Moonshine)
• 188.N. Patners are supposed to know where each other are
at all times. This makes Hutch’s disappearence with
Marianne worrisome, Starsky’s with Rosey understandable,
Hutch’s with Jeanne mysterious and Hutch not knowing
Starsky’s going to the dentist and being late puzzling.
(Ballad for a Blue Lady, Rosey Malone, Fix, Cover Girl)
• 189. What does Starsky reach up and grab on the door
frame to his bedroom while talking to Nick?(Starsky’s
Brother)
• 190.N. One preview of eighties fashion: female
executive’s fetching white cowl-necked shirt. (Sweet
Revenge)
• 191.N. The intensive care nurse that gets defibrillator
prepared has really long, red fingernails, a real nurse
no-no. (Sweet Revenge)
•192.M. Why is Jenny Brown so calm as a man kicks down her
door and advances upon her in her condo? (Sweet Revenge)
• 193.M. Why is Jenny Brown bailed out of jail, but the guy
Hutch caught in garage knifed? (Sweet Revenge)
• 194.N. A math moment: if the elevator’s maximum weight
load is 2500 pounds and 16 is the number of people allowed
on board, does this mean the average weight of folks in
1978 is 156 pounds? (Sweet Revenge)
• 195.N. Condo and condominiums are mentioned for the first
time in season four. (Avenger, Sweet Revenge)
• 196.N. For all the time it took for Hutch to tell Nancy
who to call and what to say, he should have just done it
himself. (Targets Without a Badge 3)
• 197.N. Starsky doesn’t wear his trademark Adidas.
(Targets Without a Badge 3, Death Ride, Pilot, Bait, Tap
Dancing, Moonshine, Huggy Can’t Go Home)
• 198.N. Cringe-o-Meter is high when Huggy sets his glass
of orange juice down on pool table’s felt, a pool table
no-no. (Targets Without a Badge 3)
• 199.M. Dobey, splendid in a three piece suit, arrives at
his office complaining of having to get out of bed in the
middle of the night. Why did he put a suit on? Or better
yet, just call Starsky and Hutch with the Sierra Springs
information? (Murder on Stage 17)
• 200.M. Why does Dolly’s daddy put up with Will as an
employee? (Moonshine)
