There are two kinds of people in this world: those who liked Starsky and those who liked Hutch. TVLand is airing a Starsky & Hutch marathon today, and Sheila and I stumbled across the Christmas episode with Kristy McNichol as Pete the tomboy! My God, that took me back. To Saturday nights when I was around 12 or 13 and my mother didn't watch me to watch the show because it was too violent, but I would watch it anyway. My love for Hutch was too powerful and would not be denied. (and I remembered that the diamonds were in her baseball glove!)

And I still think Hutch is hot, even if the jokes are unbearably corny, the dialogue unbelievably hokey -- "Quit tryin' to con me, turkey!" -- and his pants way too bell-bottomy.

So? Starsky or Hutch?
