Back To Index 21 Jump Street - Season 2
 Barnes & Noble 21 Jump Street premiered on the first night of the Fox networks existence in April 1987, focusing on a group of youthful police officers who go undercover at high schools and colleges to catch teenage lawbreakers before they turn into adult criminals. Remarkably forward-looking for its time, the series often tackled tough teen topics such as gun violence, drugs, sexual identity, and even AIDS. The "Jump Street" police unit featured: warmhearted, idealistic Doug Penhall (Peter DeLuise); soft-spoken, conservative Harry Ioki (Dustin Nguyen); college-educated, street-smart Judy Hoffs (Holly Robinson Peete); Capt. Adam Fuller (Steven Williams), the assertive commander; and introverted rookie Tom Hanson (Johnny Depp). It was Depps portrayal of the sensitive cop with a wild streak that skyrocketed him to stardom and allowed him to move right from TV into feature films. Foxs inaugural drama series only had a 13-episode run for its first season; it was in Season 2 that the cast gelled and the series began to pick up steam with a full 22 episodes. In the two-part "Besieged," Hanson and Hoffs go undercover to put a crack ring out of business; Hanson has problems concentrating on his cases when he learns his mother is moving in with her boyfriend in "After School Special"; racial violence breaks out in a high school in "Dont Stretch the Rainbow"; in "How Much Is That Body in the Window?" Penhall gets close to a football player accused of using steroids; Hanson goes undercover at a drug clinic to investigate possible patient abuse in "Im OK, You Need Work"; and in "Best Years of Your Life," a young Brad Pitt guest-stars in an episode that deftly touches on the serious topic of suicide. Also keep an eye out this season for director/actor Peter Berg; Law & Order: SVUs Dann Florek; and Married with Childrens Christina Applegate.

(And the overacting of the first season is largely gone.) Interested in the song lyrics? - Check out themostlyrics.com! Looking For A DVD? - Check out dvd-a-rama.com! |
