  • Adorable! Very well done!

  • @stillluvit Thanks so much!

  • @raynebow68 Love the pics on 3:20 and 3:33. And I love the bartender's face from Moonshine and then the lady's face right after 3:20! I have put this on my favorite's list!

  • oh this was brilliantly done!

  • @Ceares thanks so much for watching!

  • *applauds* That was an excellent video! Thank you so much!!!!!

  • @BunnyofLore thank you!

  • Superb, i really enjoyed this blast from the past, you are very talented

  • @nicolamy62 Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed. :)

  • You... are a fucking genius. OMG this was absolutely perfect. I'm pretty sure this is my favorite ever fanvid for any fandom. <3

  • @purepulp Well, thank you very much! :D :D :D :D :D Tell your friends! ;-)

  • Ha ha! Priceless! Excellent work, loved the stills at the end...

  • ha ha!!! Priceless! Excellent work, loved the stills at the ende!

  • @majogalindez Thanks so much! 

  • This is the most fabulous, fabulous video. The flash effect and the stills, like a photo, are so original and creative. The vid is so much fun and so romantic,and you give the scenes time to develop - I've seen too many S&H vids that have no pacing, just hugs smooshed together that make no real sense. This is sophisticated!! The PoV is cute, like Hutch is thinking the words - and well-paced, and there's something there, like a sardonic, entirely loving look through a sophisticated lens.

  • @sarahenany Thank you so much!! I really appreciate your comments! :)

  • The other actors' expressions at 2:41 and 3:22 are priceless!

  • that moustache is something to talk about...

  • Thanks for your replies and for the awesome video!

  • Were these clips from all 4 seasons?

  • @KAT65 Yes, I believe so! The opening is from season three, the mustache is from season four, and yeah, the rest is from one and two...

  • These guys had it going on long before Sean and Christian on Nip/Tuck!

  • @KAT65 They were the original BROMANCE boys, lol.

  • Oh man, I LOVE this!!! I've never seen the show, just the movie, but I LOVE THIS!:):):)

  • @CantStayAway Thank you! You really should catch the original - the LOVE is REAL, man. :D

  • Look at Starsky's cute face at 1:22!

    This is really one of the best vids of S&H I've ever seen!

  • @MsGlamourlife Thanks so much!

  • I love this song and the way you set the video to it is just perfect. Love it. May I ask where you found the b&w still photos? I would like to get copies of those.

  • @adkpagan Thanks so much, glad you liked it. I'll PM you a link.

  • @LittleYardBird heh. Wow, do I wish the 'sick' comment hadn't been made, lol.

    The episode is "Gillian". Thanks for watching! Glad you liked.

  • @raynebow68 Thanx for the info.

    Oh dear....Soul's then wife played Gillian... I will hate that episode..:-))

    I was 10 when I first saw S&H in 1982 and now I'm planning to buy the complete series on dvd. I like the quality of yours. Which one is it? There're different kind of dvds.

  • @LittleYardBird I'm not sure i understand your question about which one is it? I just bought the dvds that were available to me in the US.

    While they may have still been married at this point, they were divorcing probably as his marriage dates are until 1977. He had a long-term relationship with Lynne Marta that pretty much spanned the entire series run. Karen and he were still friends, and to this day, still friends. She also appears in season three's Heroes.

  • @raynebow68

    I'm sorry for being muddy. I have checked on amazon.uk the dvds and found some different qualities. I like yours so I wanted to know which one you have. But now I know. :-) (I should have asked "where do you live?" first. :-))

    Are there bloomers among the extras?

  • Very well put, "what matters is the love between them."

  • I beleive David Soul saying "that's a perfectly valid interpretation" was leaving room for the audience to interpret the realtionship how they chose to. This is what actors often do.. In interviews David Soul has said he gained insight into his character by "Talking with Police Offciers." If you listen to any wife of an officer they will tell you their husband is so close to their partner they seem like their married. Well, years ago they used to say this. Now people might get the wrong idea.

  • @melodydarcy1 I do believe that's exactly what I said. The door was left open for the audience to view the relationship between them any way they wanted, and that all interpretations of that relationship are perfectly valid. Friends or lovers, it didn't matter. What matters is the love between them, NOT how that love is expressed.

  • Oh, man. Nothing better than two guys in love. Especially two beautiful men like these. Hot stuff here!

  • THIS IS SO SICK!

    They were FRIENDS, like BROTHERS.

    Iv'e watched the show and loved it for years, and they LOVED the LADIES ok, no doubt, but you didn't show any of that?...They were 100% heterosexual and loved each other. Use to be a time when no one questioned physical contact between men until it somehow became "tainted" or as the world got to be more "accepting" then they want to go and "question"Starsky and Hutch. It's a shame.

  • @atlasshrugged2u I didn't show it here because it wasn't the point of this vid. And even the actors have deliberately left it ambiguous. Enjoy what you enjoy and let me do mine, eh?

  • @raynebow68 Yeah I look back on what I wrote and I did seem a little hostile, :( Sorry didn't mean to come off like that. I just love the show and never saw them that way and felt like it was being "tainted" but like you said "It's your thing" and I have no choice but to "let you do it" (smile) Take care.

  • @atlasshrugged2u Find You're My Best Friend for a vid type you're looking for.

  • @raynebow68 Yeah I saw it it was Awesome! more appropriate to the true nature of their relationship IMHO. Thanks for responding.(smile)

  • @atlasshrugged2u Just curious. Did you see the DS interview where he stated, unequivocally, that if watchers saw the relationship between them as one of lovers, that that was a *perfectly* *valid* interpretation of their relationship? Did you see the Bill Blinn interview where he stated that the one script he always wanted to write, but never had the guts, was a script in which Van sues Hutch for divorce on the grounds of Alienation of Affection, with STARSKY as the co-respondant?

  • @swordnquil LOL!! Seriously?...OMG I gotta check that out. I wonder what PMG had to say about that?...Oh well what are you gona do.

    I never saw them that way but like Seinfeld said "Not that there's anything wrong with that" I just saw them having a very cool friendship but being just as verile as men with their woman and "serious" relationships in the scripts to boot!

  • @atlasshrugged2u Yup, seriously. Paul, in the interview, agreed with David. I also read an interview where he said something along the lines of (and I know raynebow knows the interview) that "I didn't like all the cheesecake. Or the beefcake either. I kinda liked it when they played up gay." David has said that the show was "a love story between two men who just happened to be cops." The list goes on and on.

  • @swordnquil Oh man I gotta see and hear that for myself. Can you tell me specifically how to start or who to look up...I'm dying inside, you know that right? Anyway (No offense to anyone gay btw so don't write me being all hostile, I'm warning you now)

    Yeah thanks for the info dude, and please get back to me so I can cut through the unecessary stuff I would normally go through to get to the interview your talking about. Thanks again (smile)

  • @atlasshrugged2u I'm a lesbian and if I were offended, I surely wouldn't be talking to you right now, so no worries about that. The THAT IS SICK part was a little uncalled for, but we all can learn from our less than stellar moments. Education is a great part of life. As I said, rayenbow knows the interview I'm talking about. I'll get with her and get the links as soon as either one of us can find them. I do know that the "love story between two men" is in a Merv interview.

  • @swordnquil LOL!! yeah "less than stellar" your right. Thanks for being cool about it (smile) and yes please find the interview for me cause Iv'e been looking and everything Iv'e seen them say is that they acknowledge that the friendhip was special, and that was the appeal of the show, the humanity with them and All the characters that came and went, but espeially with each other for them was the "norm"

    Thank You

  • @atlasshrugged2u ...So bisexuals are mythical creatures that don't exist, then?

  • @dorothynotgale Uhhm...I'm sorry, what are you talking about?...Are you responding to something I said, If so "what is it" so I can answer your question accordingly

  • I beleive Paul Micheal Glaser and David Soul are two straight guys who are so secure about thier own masculinity their not afraid to hug, kiss, touch, and show love and affection in a tactile manner. Jerry Lewis once said he and Dean were the same way. Very tactile in their affection and love for each other. I wish all men could feel the freedom to be so at ease. I think Paul Michael Glaser and David Soul would love the tongue n' cheek humor of the video and the great song too. 

  • @melodydarcy1 I hope if they've ever seen it, they enjoyed it. :)

  • @melodydarcy1 Yes they were two straight guys totally secure like you said, wasen't even a question! I got no kind "gay vibe" from the show...ever, not even one little bit. Being a woman I'm partial to the episodes when they were in love, and their girlfriends turned out to be hookers, or some other kind of tragic ending LOL!! but yeah gone are the days of that kind of television and physical intimacy between men.

    It's a shame really...Starsky and Hutch forever baby!!

  • Great video. I have watched this nearly every day and shared it with family and friends. I have always loved Starsky & Hutch and always will. I think the reason so many people loved them as Starsky and Hutch was thier wonderful love and affection for one another. As Starsky and Hutch and as Paul Michael Glaser and David Soul. The humor in this video is really sweet, too. Thanks for making it.

  • @melodydarcy1 hey, thanks! I'm glad everyone liked it. The real affection between the actors truly made the characters shine. :) Thanks again!

  • Great vid. Just loved it. You really got them just right. I have always loved these two guys. I have their dvds and I have to watch something of them everyday. It is so nice to know that they are still each others best friends today. I saw a vid where David was on a talk show and was asked if he ever sees Paul. David said that he did and that Paul continues to be his closet best friend. So wonderful.

  • @titansful Thank you! Yes, these guys still love each other and it's just a testament to how some folks just click. :)

  • Clever, clever. Loved it!

  • @chaoscleaner thank you!

  • Oh, what a sexy pose of Hutch at 2:20. These two had a lot in common: same age, gorgeous smiles, nice bodies, great actors, etc. No wonder they were good friends. Where are men like these today???

  • If you find them, let me know. *G*

  • Had to watch this again! I wonder if Queen had these two in mind when they wrote this song? Fits perfectly. This is my favorite Starsky and Hutch video I've seen this far!

  • On a scale of 1 to 10, I gotta give this at least a 15. I can't stop smiling now.

    Thanks

  • Oh, wow. :D Thank you SO MUCH! :D :D

  • great vid! Gotta love the bromance between these two best friends! It really what made the show!

  • @bluespiritgal It sure did. Thank you!

  • Hello Laura!

    Fantastic vid!

    The chemistry btwn David & Paul was so amazing. It's what I Love most about S&H... their portrayal of this intimate (yet non-sexual), supportive, loving friendship... and they had no qualms about displaying it. It's beautiful!

    Love Your Vids!

    Thanks Again.

    L.

  • This... is the best thing... ever!!!

  • Yes, please send me the link!

  • Great work! one of the things I love most about S&H is all the casual touching between them. They're either VERY comfortable in each other's space or there IS something to talk about. Do you have more S&H vids that YT took down? Why would they take them down? I would love to see!

  • Hi! yes, they took some down or killed the audio. If you PM me, I'll send you a link. Thanks for watching!

  • Absolutely great work !!!

    I love this video!

    Thanks for it!

  • thank you!

  • Very creative.

    3:38 Wow

  • hee. thanks.

  • I LOVE this vid! It always makes me giggle like an idiot, but it's totally worth it! LOVE the editing-- you have some of my favorite clips, but others that don't seem to be used very much in other vids, so it's awesome to see them featured here. Plus the whole premise is amazing-- I adore how you took the song literally, because it COMPLETELY fits. Fantastic job! :D

  • Thank you! :D I'm mad that YT has taken down so many of my vids. If you want the link to my site where they all are, PM me.

  • hiya..me again :) i was just curious thats all..cute vid. but i am havin a hard time finding Photo Finish on this site..grrr. any links for it? thanks

  • Not on YT that I know of, it is fourth season on the dvds.

  • heh..i love this video...but about 1:28 thru 1:31..they are in the tuxes and this lady is takin pics..what ep is that from? thanks

  • hey, thanks! I sure am getting a lot of questions like this - why is it that you want to know?

    The episode is Photo Finish.

  • la mejor serie de Detectives jamás vista. Un placer verla, porque tenía de todos. Humor, tristeza, suspenso, intriga y por momentos ingenuidad sobretodo del gran Paul Michael Glaser. Grandes Paul y David. Unos maestros.

  • Muchas gracias! Se amo PMG y DS mucho. :)

  • never saw anything gay

    nothing wrong with 2 guys who

    do love and care for each other

    I always felt the bond between them

    as more like loving brothers

    plus who cares---they were the

    greatest characters and actors

    on tv love them both even to this day

  • great fun, I've put it as a favourite. nice seeing the boys messing around, and the music is great too. I've been reading the comments and I'm sorry to appear thick, but what does slashy mean? is it an Americanism or is is slang for something else? it sounds offensive, pardon my ignorance. I loved the video and its nice to see affection on screen - we see enough blood and guts. starsky and hutch is a joy to watch - love the boys!

  • 'Slashy' basically means gay (for each other) in this context, two men appearing to be more than just friends. When you say that you 'slash' person X and person Y (in this case Starsky and Hutch) it means you support the "pairing".

  • Definitely my favorite vid so far... I tried to watch another vid of yours; "The Best Of Times"... To bad the audio was gone! HATE it when that happens... D:

    Thank God for imeem, then! (x

    Anyway, the timing of clips and music is excellent, no doubt about it! I'm going to subsrcibe you... watchout! :D

  • I have seen many S&H vids, but this one is awesome. You have a fan:) :)

    Great job

  • Didn't they look nice together? And didn't they give us slash-girls something to gnaw at? Oh wow, I simply love the chemistry between this two boys. No wonder there were some rumors. *lol* Thank you for your wonderful vid. You did an amazing good job with this, because since I saw it I couldn't stop smiling. :-))

  • Wow! This video is amazing.

    I haven't seen much Starsky and Hutch, but I know the fandom was one of the first big slash havens. I thought I wouldn't be able to get into the characters, but you've convinced me! I'm definitely going to check out the show now.

    Thanks for sharing this vid!

  • Fantastic video!

    I didn't realize how slashy shows were when my ancestors watched TV.

    I kid, I kid.

  • MADE OF WIN.

  • that lady in the clip with the cigarette in her mouth looking at them....IS HILARIOUS!!!!

  • This is my fav video...the song was excellent for this clip. These guys clicked from the very begining and they are still the best of friends today. Awesome!

  • Thank you! I'm completely flattered and grateful. :D

  • This is an AWESOME clip!!!!

    They use to kiss a lot off camera horsing around with each other. Ha!!!

  • Thank you! So I hear, they did!

  • super vid

  • thank you very much!

  • Great video. Thanks

  • thanks!

  • I love Starsky and Hutch! I have all the DVDs! But I'm not gay, no way jose! Love women wayyyyyyyyyy too much to be gay.

  • No one is asking you to be? LOL! Thanks for watching.

  • Brilliant video, very cleverly put together. Love the 'snapshot' editing, very amusing to watch!

  • Thank you so much!

  • That's just...yes. So very, very good. The "snapshot" stills were an excellent touch.

  • Thank you so much!

  • great vid ,) *still smiling* and the song just perfect, there really is stuff to talk about ,D

    i have to ask, from witch episode is the part where the boys hold their hands(?) at the office(2:51)? cant remember seeing it!

  • It's called 'A Coffin For Starsky'

  • Adorable! Watched this at least 17 times.

  • I just want you to know that I've watched a lot of stuff on youtube, but this is one of the very best. I grew up watching these guys and they are still my fave guys in the world. Thanks for the great vid!

  • Aw, thank you. That means a lot. :)

  • I always have loved these guys both as characters and in real life and for some reason, it makes me happy to know that they are still best friends after all these years.

    Where did you get the black and white stills in your video? I would love to have one or two of them in particular.

    Your work is fabulous? Truly the best on You Tube and I can see the love and care you put into them. Keep up the most fabulous work! Thank you for keeping Paul and David in our hearts forever.

  • Thanks! Drop me a message in my inbox and I can link you to the pics. I appreciate that you enjoy my work and took time to tell me so. :)

  • Oh, man, I agree with you completely! I've remarked on other videos that one of the wonderful things about the show is that those two really are best friends. I love watching them, every time, and these videos are so clever and well-done.

  • This is one of the funniest, most entertaining and clever fanvids I've seen. I love it and watch it obsessively (I downloaded a copy) - and I'm not even a S & H fan! It's a terrific work and I admire your vision and talent.

  • Thank you!

  • Another great job---I especially like the B&W still shots at the end.

  • Thank you so much! Glad you liked it. :D

  • Aww boys! This just made me smile all the way through. Love this vid, and realised I haven't said so here. Loved the look on Hutch's face at 2.13 to match the 'are you falling for me' line, and love the snapshot caught out effect!

    Thanks for reminding me of this and giving me a smile or three when I needed it! Lola

  • Aw, thanks! :D

  • Hey, hon! At this point, I honestly can't recall which of your vids I've commented on and which I haven't.  This one is delightful. I really like what you've done with the still shots. The way those paused moments capture the guys is priceless. Thanks! You're a gem.

  • You're the gem. :)

  • Ok. Well, I truly thought that your vid "I Want to Know What Love is" was my favorite. Now that I've watched THIS one that is no longer the case! I absolutely LOVE this video! I know all of those scenes from all of those episodes but the way you have put them together with this song -- and included some of the photos -- it's just perfect. PERFECT!!!

    I will watch any video you make. Any video, any subject, any time. Seriously!

  • I commented back to you and it's GONE. Wah!

    You made my day, my night, and my vidmaking life! Thank you so much, I'm so very thrilled you enjoyed it so much!

  • WOW. Thank you! :D :D :D

  • This was just perfect. I'd love it just for all the little touches and looks, but the images also matched pretty well perfectly with the lyrics. Interspersing the S/H images with pictures of the "them" who would be talking about the boys was really well done.

  • Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed it. I had a lot of fun making it. :)

  • I love this vid. Although I do not think they are gay I still love their friendship. And when they hold hands for that second, when Starsky feels like dying, this is just a great moment.

  • Thank you!

  • That was just perfect! I'm especially impressed by the image you inserted of that woman with a cigarette dangling from her mouth, and a confused expression on her face. It was at JUST the right point in the song!

  • Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. Thank you so much for telling me just what you liked, I love hearing things like that. She does look confused and bemused, doesn't she? Thanks again!

  • I'm just now rediscovering my love affair with these two - what a wonderful pair they make, and what a joy it is to watch them! The fact that they are, in real life, best friends, adds to the pleasure. You know that they didn't snarl at each other and walk away when the director yelled, "Cut!"

  • This is one of the best S&H vids I've seen. Gives me this warm feeling. Very well done. Faved.

  • Well, thank you very much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

  • I just can't get enough of this video...I love it...it is so much fun and puts a smile on my face from start to finish. Great job...Favorited! These two are just too cute together...wait, is there such a thing as "too cute" :)

  • OH, gosh, thank you. :) I admit, I watch it rather often from the file on my puter myself. :D

  • Great vid!!

  • Thanks! :D One of my favorites. :)

  • This was awesome! Brilliantly edited!

    They are incredibly slashy, and I love them for it!

  • Thank you! I love this one particularly. :D

  • aha! Sure enough, here you are. :) Thanks again!

  • Some people can't tell the difference between real life and fiction Raynebow - don't worry about it

  • I'm not. :) I was just a touch surprised because I thought it was pretty well known about the subtext. :D

  • raynebow, subtext was not known to me. Never thought of it.

  • We all learn something new everyday. No worries. :)

  • Well, I've seen two episodes of the show, and was amazed at the amount of subtext! They're always touching, hugging, cuddling, holding hands... There's as much subtext there as there is with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. I don't think they're actually gay, but they do play it up for fun, and I've seen both pairs kiss, so they must do it on purpose.

  • And they actors perpetuated it! They totally admit it! :)

  • provecepuss: I can tell the difference and the actors and their characters are great. Regardless of any SUBTEXT.

  • Huh. For someone who's "tired" of vids like this, "bigbill," you sure seem to watch and comment enough. You're protesting too much, methinks. But...whatever. Stop viewing, already.

  • aw thanks, but he's fine. I think I just surprised the hell out of him. *G*

  • raynebow, yes I was surprised cause I never once looked at it that way.

  • that's what I figured. That's ok. I put the info in the vid info up there so folks who didn't want to see that would know, but not everyone reads those. :) Still, you probably have gotten the gist by now that the show's characters were very much assumed to be lovers by a good number of fans and the press at the time.

  • Powderpuff I will view what I want as I am a fan of Starsky and Hutch. Not protesting everything I only made a few protest comments.

  • LOL! great clip but don't imply they are gay and ruin their images.

  • Images? LOL! They imply it themselves! :) It's no secret - the actors played it up intentionally quite often; it was very much a part of the subtext. ;)

  • They are friends and were both married around that time so highly doubtful they were gay.

  • Oh, I'm very well aware. I'm saying, Paul and David played it up. They were complicit in the rumors. They were and are extremely close, are quoted as saying there's nothing wrong with the love of a man for another man, and if folks read that as homosexual tendencies, well, then, so? :)

    Truly, it's just for fun. :)

  • Er... first of all they weren't married. Hutch is divorced in the series, which is a difference. And to quote Paul Michael Glaser himself: "We were always playing around with the gay thing." Nuff said. I can provide links to more quotes like that.

  • Who cares? Just because they played it off does not mean they were.

  • dude, you're mixing up the actors with the characters.

  • I think you are mistaking Starksy and Hutch THE CHARACTERS with Paul and David who played the characters, bigbill.

    I personally don't believe it was intended for the characters to be gay, but this vid is just a bit of fun and very well made too.

  • Not mistaking anything as I do not see the actors or characters as gay and get tired of comments and vids sort of implying they are.

  • hey Bill, no sweat. I can't help you with the vids implying - that's for the creator (me) to decide, but you are, of course, free to dislike them on that basis. I do appreciate your time to comment, though! :) Honest. :)

  • I never said I disliked the vids. Where are you people getting this I like the clips? I just questioned the music. Damn sorry if offend somebody just opinions that do not mean nothing.
