TJ Hooker was one of my favourite cop shows.
Watching it now it is very dated. I'm surprised LA had ANY crime in the 80s. Hooker knew/worked with/arrested/had a hunch about every single crime. He also NEVER followed the rules or orders. It still puzzles me that Hooker could run faster than Romano who was 20 years younger. The show was formulaic with a crime of the week. The thing that made TJ Hooker great was the co-stars. I absolutely adored the relationship between Romano and Stacy. Always trying to outdo each other. Just brilliant. Jim Corrigan was a welcome addition. After Stacy made it out from behind the desk the show seemed to flow better. The show had some notable guest stars.. Leonard Nimoy, Richard Hatch, Heather Thomas and of course, Sharon Stone.
TJ Hooker was not gritty or even dramatic. Just a formulaic 80s cop show from Spelling/Goldberg.
Well worth a look for sheer nostalgia.
