This weekend I have done everything on my list...except work on the big_bang story. So, speaking of procrastinating!

I just popped in a Starsky and Hutch episode and realized--I'd seen it before. Even though there's no possible way that I could have. I just got this disk in the mail and I never saw the show in syndication. Through some confused fast-forwarding I realized I hadn't seen the episode--but I had scene the opening scene.

They took the first six minutes of a previous episode and stuck it onto this one.

Those six minutes I guess kinda stood alone, then they started up the new episode with an overdub on a shot of them driving with Starsky saying something like "Well, it's a good thing we had these costumes in the trunk!" to explain why this shot had nothing to do with the last.

That is some guts. I'm thinking--did they lose a reel of film? Were they censored? How do you end up so short for an episode that you reuse six minutes? Weren't they worried people would think it was a rerun and turn it off?

Bizarre.
