We don't get paid extra to kill people, either
The days of Starsky And Hutch were a rich, explorative time that you wouldn't trade for anything. As far as the seventies were concerned, the show seems to epitomise the era. From a television standpoint, it was the first of the cop genre to really explore friendship to this level. Paul Michael Glaser and David Soul decided early on that they weren't going to be what the marketing people had described the show as: two tough, streetwise, macho cops. For them, Starsky And Hutch was to be based on friendship. Glaser and Soul approached the scripts and management with their 'me and thee' motto. It was this trust that became the basis of the humour in the show, humour that wasnt really a part of the original scripts.
