Starsky & Hutch is 'set to return to screens as Fox develop a revamped female-led version of the 1970s show'

The show is set to have a modern spin this time with a female-led storyline, as the eponymous police duo will be Sasha and Nicole, rather than Dave and Ken.

Maybe the new Stasky and Hutch will take a “defund the police” narrative.

They will just be shown driving around all day talking about the evils of the patriarchy and assist illegals getting gov services.

They will tell dispatcher they Refuse calls for serivice based on systemic racism.

Now THAT would be riveting must see TV!

I would actually watch that - would be (unintentionally) hysterical for an episode or two.

Would a “Police Woman” reboot need a natural man or would a trans man do? Maybe a trans woman?

I eagerly await the return of Huggy Bear

The role will probably be recast as Huggy Beverly.

“How cutting edge. 125 lb women beating up 250 lb men.”

You are FAT shaming..

How about a 4’ 5” tall 350lb woman beating up a 6’ 4” 250lb methed up body building/ martial arts expert tweaking perp?

The reboot will be an instant fail but this reminds me of the original Starsky and Hutch episodes "The Set-Up: Part 1 and 2" from season 2 in January, 1977.

It's a really creepy thriller with a surprising twist at the end. Fits right in with today's world.

The female counterpart to Starsky and Hutch has already been done. It was called Cagney and Lacy.

One seems to recall Mad Magazine's parody as Harsky and Stutch, back in 1975 or whenever it was...

This one won't be any better...

“...a trans man do? Maybe a trans woman?”

I still have problems with those labels. Is a trans man a man who becomes a woman or vice versa. Ditto a tans woman. Very confusing, and just wait to for them to start talking about who they date.

All new show where the actors this time are black. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. It’s just my woke Hollywood sarcasm.

The entertainment industry knows woke doesn’t sell but rather then abandon it they will just make everything woke so people will have no choice.
