Everybody know the 70s was the decade when cops didn't play by the rules. They gunned Buick Regals and Ford Gran Torinos down back alleys, treated their captains like short-sighted fools, and banged all the chicks they met. Usually all within act 2.
More than that, though, they had theme songs (opening themes, remember them?). And not just theme songs, damn funky theme songs.
My sister was a huge fan of American cop shows when I was a kid. She loved the sly wit of Telly Savalas as Kojak, gushed a little over Michael Douglas in The Streets of San Francisco, and positively fawned over David Soul in Starsky and Hutch. Sure, she may have bought the Telly Savalas "Who Loves Ya Baby" single, but David Soul convinced her to buy a whole album's worth of his sweet vocals. So I have fond memories of Saturday nights in a maisonette in Primrose Hill, lights off, Mum and Dad out down the pub, and me and my sister in the living room with milk and McVities watching to see what could possibly challenge Starsky and Hutch's not-homoerotic-at-all, purely platonic friendship.
