Starsky & Hutch - The Complete Fourth Season (1975) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Nothing like seeing Zebra 3 drive past gas stations so we can check the prices!
This was well worth the YEAR wait. Yes, by roughly 6 months in between releases Season 4 should have been released in Nov. of 2005. I have no idea what the hold up (pun) was but I am thankful I even own this. So far I can see the violence has been toned somewhat, but what is left in its wake is what I watch the show for anyway; friendship and banter. So far Season 4 has that in spades! I must disagree with another reviewer here about the menu screens, I think they are perfect, I also think the "grain effect" is more artistic than accidental. I think they are beautiful. It has fabulous boxart and even better content inside; thanks Sony!!
Disc One:
10/19 - Surprisingly after viewing the first disc, this season (so far) is more consistant than Season Three. In S3 there wasn't one disc that I felt had all solid episodes on it and yet right out of the shoot S4 has a solid set. I even enjoyed the overly cheesy Moonshine episode. The writing in general seems more solid than last season and while the tone may be lighter the laughs are tighter. After all the bad press I've heard about Season 4 I'm sort of in shock at just how much I'm enjoying it! Nothing on this comes close to the Voodoo Island Part Two fiasco of Season Three:)
Disc Two:
10/26 - Still a bit stronger than Season Three. Two great episodes in "Strange Justice" and "Black and Blue" here on disc 2. Really liked the role of Vonetta McGee who is a striking beauty and had great chemistry with Starsky. Some of the slapstick elements are just too over the top for me. "Dandruff" in particular just doesn't work for me, though in the same light "The Groupie" was a fun humorous episode that did the duo justice.
Disc Three:
11/4 - Paul Micheal Glaser OWNS this disc. I still have one episode to watch on disc 3 but I was so moved by the directorial efforts of "Starsk" (on Ballad for a Blue Lady) I just couldn't wait to write this. "Deck Watch" another great episode he directed has just been one-upped and I never thought I'd say that. The tone, the acting, the camera work, EVERYTHING about this ep screams FEATURE LENGTH QUALITY which is something you almost never see on TV. On this disc, Cover Girl was also nice as was Starsky's Brother. The wrestling inspired Golden Angel was dumb but no matter what happens now, Season 4 is better, far better than Season 3. Sad it was cancelled after this season. More like a crime.
Disc 4:
12/3 - The highlight on this disc is OF COURSE the Targets Without a Badge portions which is the majority, BUT it is GREAT. I always say you will find great television when the characters have to be something beyond what you expect and when S&H are no longer cops is when you will see how great the "characters" are and not just how great the "backdrop" is. This should be required viewing for any fan of must see TV...
Disc 5:
Coming soon!
