Starsky & Hutch and the Great 70's
Mood :
My brother bought the season 1 DVD set of the original Starsky & Hutch for me soon after the screening of 2004's Starsky & Hutch. Oh how I loved the show then! Never missed a single episode (I think) Good 'o 1975... I was only 9 then (ok, now you know my age) and I had a crush on Starsky played by Paul Michael Glaser. I was like going "SO CUTE!" every time Starsky did something silly/funny/witty. When Paul and David did the cameo towards the end of S&H 2004, I felt kind of sad. How they've aged. How I've aged!
There were so many shows I liked in the 70's.. Charlie's Angels (Kate Jackson!!), T.J. Hooker, CHiPs, The Hardy Boys Mysteries. Had a major crush on Shuan Cassidy & Parker Stevenson. Every time the 2 appeared on screen, I would be trying to decide who I liked better, Shaun or Parker. I skipped recesses so that I could save my allowances for the Heart-Throb magazine then.
Then there was SPACE 1999... some nuclear accident at the lunar-based waste disposal site propelled our moon out of Earth's orbit into deep space. Scientific plausibility? errmmm... but definitely an A+ for originality.
And how about Battlestar Galactica! I recorded the show then, watched and re-watched. Read the novel of the pilot episode so many times that I could still remember the entire storyline to this day. Anyone remembered young Rick Springfield? He played the part of Captain Apollo's young brother Zac who was shot down within minutes into the show. My fav was cocky Starbuck played by Dirk Benedict.
I wonder if anyone recalls Sapphire & Steel. It was a strange science fantasy. I didn't understand what was happening but I definitely remembered being spooked. I wasn't even sure whether Sapphire and Steel were humans. I only knew they were 'elements' (having just learned the Periodic Table in Science class then) who were assigned by ?? to fight against unknown forces trying to break into the "real world" through a weak fabric in the time corrdior. Other 'elements' like Silver, Lead appeared in the episodes. Steel was played by David McCallum (Man fron U.N.C.L.E.) but I can't remember who played the part of Sapphire. I wonder if I could get a copy of the series somewhere.
Good old 70's. Shows nowadays don't seem to be so captivating any more. I can't stand reality shows.
