Yes. The creator of Starsky & Hutch has always acknowledged that his series was inspired by the SuperC
shareIf I recall correctly, the Greenberg and Hantz, if not the movie, were definitely the inspiration for Starsky and Hutch. These two guys were getting a lot of attention at the time. I recall Johnny Carson had them as guests on the Tonight Show once.
shareNo, I don't think there's a direct connection of inspiration, at least, not one without an intervening link, from "The Super Cops" to "Starsky And Hutch." At the time "Starsky And Hutch" was first introduced, the producers stated that the direct inspiration was the movie "Freebie And The Bean." However, both movies contain a lot of the same elements as "Starsky And Hutch", and they both came out the same year, so they both probably influenced the producers.
I finally watched the movie and I agree. They could not have been the inspiration for Starsky and Hutch. There is almost no similarity. My mistake.
