How many times did Starsky call Hutch "Babe" or some other 
nickname in the series?  (Or: how many love-names can two men 
have for each other?

Hutch called  Starsky) "Babe"? The only time I can remember 
exactly is when Starsky says something like "Hang on, Babe" 
through the glass toward the end of Plague to Hutch. But it seems 
like there were more.<<

>> Starsky calls Hutch Babe three times I've been told.  I know 
one of them is in Snitch when Hutch's car blows up and Starsky 
goes flying down the stairs to make sure he's okay.  He kneels 
down on the sidewalk, and slaps the sidewalk right in front of 
Hutch's face to try to get him to come to, and says something 
like, "Hey, babe!" I think the Plague scene is another one, and I 
think there was one time in the car, but I can't remember.

Flamingo:
>> They called each other so many things there is actually a list 
somewhere of all the nicknames they bandied back and forth.<<

     Hutch called Starsky "babe" in "Shootout" when Hutch 
returned for the first time to the back room of the restaurant:

H: Hey, buddy, how're ya feeling, huh?

S: Hey.

H: Yeah, babe, right here.


     Also, below is the list I think Flamingo is referring to:
