Dandruff

DVD, Starsky & Hutch S4 (Dandruff)

The Starsky & Hutch Pantomime is what it should have been called! I don't think they have a serious moment in the whole thing! The best thing about it is the inclusion of Captain Dobey and Huggy (as Prince Nairobi), but there's also a lot of humour to enjoy. Perhaps it gets a little out of hand, and the accents wear after a while, and are the characters believable? Not a lot. Not so good is the face of that nasty guy from S3's 'Murder Ward', who even then had been in it before I think (and the Japanese guy too). And the Baron couldn't have been all that clever hiring such idiotic goons to do his bidding. But Rene Auberjonois was good as the Baron, later going on to play Odo in DS9.

Why didn't S&H liaise with the hotel security, as you'd think that would be the first place they'd start instead of going undercover in the hair salon! At least they used their codenames Mr. Marlene and Mr. Tyrone from a previous hair-related episode. It's nothing fancy, and anyone who was serious about the series might find this a bit trying as your favourite characters act out a zany spoof, but it's worth seeing, if only for that.
