Cover summary: "On loan to the Las Vegas Police Department, Starsky and Hutch search for a killer who has been victimizing chorus girls. Posing as sore-loser high rollers, the detectives plan to pick a fight that will land them in jail in order to get inside information. The problem is, once our boys hit the tables, they can't seem to lox! A more serious concern arises when the prime suspect appears to be Hutch's old high school buddy. Guest stars include Paul Burke (TV's Twelve O'Clock High) and Frank Converse (Coronet Blue). Aker finishing in the Top 20 and averaging a near•40%share in its first year (when it aired Wednesdays at 10:00 p.m.), Starsky & Hutch moved to a new night and time in September 1976 to goose up ABC's Saturday lineup. "The Las Vegas Strangler" was the first of two consecutive two-hour all-star specials launching the second season premiere. Anticipating another big audience fur the season premiere, ABC seized the opportunity for some cross promotion. The Alphabet Network believed that Lynda Carter (the star of Wonder Woman) and Roz Kelly (Pinky Tuscadero, Fonzie's girlfriend on Happy Days) would be two of its biggest stars in 1976, so it's no ¬coincidence that both actresses had prominent roles in this particular episode. Starsky & Hutch went on to win its Saturday 9:00 p.m. time slot consistently throughout the next two seasons. Much of the success of Starsky & Hutch is attributed to the special onscreen chemistry between David Soul and Paul Michael Glaser. That's not a surprise, considering the actors had been good friends for nearly ten years before they worked together for the first time on the series. The two grew even closer as a result of their relentless dedication w the show and mutual belief in their characters. "I don't think of myself of David Soul anymore," said Soul in 1975. "I'm David Hutch, and Paul is Paul Starsky."
