YMMV / The Streets of San Francisco

• Complete Monster: See here.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: In light of what many people believe about Arnold Schwarzenegger's subsequent acting performances, hearing him say "Two hours of posing makes you stiff" in "Dead Lift" can't help but be this.
  • Also, the sight of Brenda Vaccaro as Keller's new neighbour with a Dark Secret who also becomes the Girl of the Week in "The Most Deadly Species", which gets Stone joshing that Keller's is danger of getting married. At the time, Vaccaro was Michael Douglas' real-life girlfriend... while his future wife turned five years old a few days after its first US airing!
• Retroactive Recognition:
  • This show is where Harrison Ford's acting career got started. He was building sets when the producers took a liking to his look, leading to his being cast in several minor roles.
  • As well as Han Solo, Luke Skywalker turns up as well - Mark Hamill plays a junkie in "Poisoned Snow." And
  • There are a number of future TV detectives appearing in guest spots - Cheryl Ladd, Tom Selleck, Tyne Daly, Paul Michael Glaser, Meg Foster, Don Johnson (cast as a San Francisco cop not for the last time).^note Tyne Daly would also play a San Francisco cop in The Enforcer
  • Elliott's mother (aka Dee Wallace) is raped and murdered at the beginning of "The Programming Of Charlie Blake."
  • If you thought Richard Hatch was the only future Battlestar Galactica (1978) star to appear on the series, you can see Laurette Spang (Cassopeia) in "Harem", and Herbert Jefferson Jr. (Boomer) in "For Good Or Evil".
