I wasn’t aware of that controversy. Interesting?
Who were the “do gooders?”
Remember the people running around screaming about all the sex and violence in the seventies? The first two seasons were very different from what followed. The car chases and fights were amazing. I’m not sure the original darker program intro is still available.
Two of the more fierce episodes from the early days were when Starsky’s love interest in shot in a robbery and fights for her life while they chase the bad guys. At the end, she dies in his arms. Ohhh that one got me.
In another episode, the bad guys break in with those horrible stocking masks and juice Hutch on heroin while he sleeps trying to kill him, but leaving his jonesing, and he and Starsky go through easing him back, plus chasing the baddies. 1975-77, it was great.
