Requiem for a cop
coltras351 September 2022
A friend of Hooker's who was a cop turned P. I. was killed while he was investigating some arson fires. Hooker thinks he was killed by the arsonist because he was getting too close. At first, it seems a psychotic arsonist is at play, someone whose only motive is starting an explosion for kicks, but it's all do with insurance ...

Lively enough entry, with some explosions; some getting too close to Hooker and Romano; the arsonist (David Caruso without his sunglasses) plants a bomb under their car, but radio waves gives Hooker the gist that a bomb is planted. On a lighter note, Romano has a computer system to help him pick a winning horse. Hooker teases him about it. The rapport between Hooker and Romano is one of the best thing of the show, whether it be comical interplay or a serious talk about issues.

David Caruso meets TJ Hooker

Warning: Spoilers
Just caught this episode on a TJ Hooker marathon on Clue network. Classic episode with a Rambo era David Caruso. Adrian Zmed makes some great Blue Steel faces while Hooker berates people. Richard Herd before he was George Costanza's boss. James Hong also makes an appearance as Dr. Hong. They put a lot of thought into that one. Hooker says "Hong, you're beautiful!". Episode climaxes with David Caruso arming an old school 70s bomb with the digital clock ticking down. He tries to get away on a motorcycle but Hooker blows out the bike's tire with one shot from several yards away. Unfortunately there's minimal Heather Locklear in this episode.
