Paul Michael Glaser, aka David Michael Starsky, and David Soul, aka Kenneth Richard "Hutch" Hutchinson, were the most famous cop duo of the seventies. The crime series was produced from 1975 to 1979 and ran for four seasons. The show was a hit thanks to the humorous exchanges between Starsky and Hutch, but also thanks to its raw and honest portrayal of some of the downsides of police work.
