And the one with the guy who sexually abuses troubled teenage boys and gets them to commit crimes for him, where S and H mostly feel sorry for the really messed up boy who killed his family. And the one where the DA forces them to name their snitch, and said snitch gets murdered, and they quit over it. And the one with the racist cop who unreasonably killed a black guy and said the N-word on-air and gets away with the killing with a slap on the wrist. And the one with the mother who was abusing her young kid and not the father like S and H were both sure of, and it turned out the mother was a victim of parental incest as a child. And the one where Starsky basically kidnaps Hutch when Hutch is accused of murder and they go on the lam (without any proof that Hutch didn't murder said person). And the one where Hutch has a complete weeping screaming physically violent meltdown at Starsky over his girlfriend's death, when that sort of emotion was a complete no-no for male characters. And the entirety of Deckwatch. Etc. It's just mixed with a handful of such goofy episodes that the goofy ones are what people remember.

Honestly, I have a hard time remembering that many goofy episodes at all! I think it's just being lumped in with "cheesy 70's show" so hard that people don't really remember the specifics. :(

Now, what the show does have a habit of doing is having goofy little scenes at the end of each episode that don't match the tone of the episode. That's the sort of mood whiplash I'm surprised more people don't talk about.

Oh jesus those tags. Some were great, and I do think some of the goofy ones were nice comic relief, but so many of them were just pointless and distracting from the episode when they could have been used to expand on the episode instead, like in the (great) tag to Iron Mike. I'm particularly thinking about the stupid tags to Deadly Imposter and Hutchinson for Murder One here, where the episodes would've been better if they'd had a tiny ending scene of Starsky and Hutch reflecting on Colby and Vanessa after the action had blown over.

Now that I think of it, I think m*a*s*h had a similar problem sometimes, but at least m*a*s*h was already a wiplash-y comedy. I guess it was network insistence.

The Ben Stiller remake didn't help.
