Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What TV show featured a streetwise informant called "Huggy Bear"?"
The streetwise informant “Huggy Bear” is a character from the 1970s TV series Starsky & Hutch. In a 1998 interview, Antonio Fargas, the actor who portrayed “Huggy Bear” said: "At the time, it was considered hip to have one or two black actors on your series, and I was lucky enough to be one of those." Huggy's notorious "hip" and "urban" way of speaking has made him a symbol of badly-written black characters of the time. At the same time, many people appreciate Huggy for being a sympathetic and fairly major black character at a time when these were few and far between on television.
