:38 - "You dummy! Let me find me somethin' to hit you with!" LMAO - Great line. Gotta love Merle the Earle. :D

[nailclippers3]

72 had a different look than a 73 did,theyre miles apart if you study them.They were nice riding cars though,my neighbors had one back then.

Uhmm - Meryl the Earl.......:-|

[songs1994]

you, you dummy let me find summthin ta hit you with. hahaha

[odiemodie1]

Oops, my bad. It's "Merl the Pearl", not "Earl

the Pearl". They should've had him more.I think he was in at least four episodes, one with Merl saying to Starsky about his Torino, "You still got that red an' white striped tomato?"

[odiemodie1]

That 1973 Ford LTD was just as a butt kicker as the Torino. The Torino was for show an' go,but the Ltd was a REAL undercover cops' car. Beat-up, worn, and just like the rest of the many other cars like it. You really don't have to worry about things like "Watch the paint job!" Btw, I really dig "Earl the Pearl"! In a later episode, Hutch asks Earl to give his car the usual service, not knowing his service is giving the car a make-over, not just changing the oil. The first "pimp my ride" on tv!

Actually, it's a Galaxie 500. I have a 2 door of my own and it's a great car. Which is why it pains me to think of what they had to do in order to get two year old car to look like that. UGGGGHHH, breaks my heart!:-(

[jonez129]

Yeah, Hutch's car, the police cars and that ugly green one that kept showing up in episodes all said Galaxy 500 if you got a look at a shot of the rear.

I once knew a guy who had a Galaxy 500 and it was a really smooth ride.

@thunderstruck66 I thought it was an LTD ??

[thunderstruck665]

@kdemonde: Nope, the LTD had a different grille.

[kdemonde]

@thunderstruck665 WOW i didnt realize that, actually i thought Ford stopped production of the Galaxie in 1972. When did Ford stop production on the Galaxie??

[thunderstruck665]

@kdemonde: 1974

[kdemonde]

@thunderstruck665 Thanks when i think about the LTD i think about that Detective show "The F.B.I" that was on TV back in the 70's with Efram Zimbalist Jr. all they drove were Ford LTD's...or maybe Galaxies??

[jimP71]

actully, Hutch's car was a 1972-3 Ford Galaxie 500

[bigbill1991]

too bad Hutch had the crap car in the series.

[razberrycreme]

Piece of sculpture ROFLMAO

[DHP2]

I always wondered, this episode is from the first season I think, but doesn't Starsky get him this car in Survival? Or was Starsky just being sweet and looking for something with the same "call"?

[jonez129]

Yeah, this was first season. He also had this car in the pilot movie and landing on the roof, as you see in the opening credits, is how the roof got caved in. In Survivial, this would be the car that was crashed, so Starsky got him a replacement that looked just like it. The replacement was later blown up in Targets Without a Badge part 1.
