Tj Hooker-1st and 2nd Seasons (1982)

Editor's Note William Shatner (STAR TREK) stars as the tough-talking, no-nonsense LA cop, T.J. Hooker, in this top-rating crime drama that premiered in 1982. An undercover officer whose partner's death spurs him to return to the beat in order to rid the streets of crime, Hooker is also assigned to train new recruits--which he does according to his own hard-as-nails philosophy of policing. Hooker is partnered with the very green young officer, Vince Romano (Adrian Zmed), a South Philly kid fresh from the Academy. Hooker reports to station Captain Sheridan (Richard Herd), with whom he sometimes clashes due to his exacting methods, but with whom he shares a deep mutual respect. In the first season, Officer Vicky Taylor (April Clough) was often on desk duty, but was replaced in the second by the captains' daughter, Stacey Sheridan (Heather Locklear, MELROSE PLACE), who quickly worked her way up to patrol officer. Partnered with Jim Corrigan (James Darren), an officer very much after Hooker's own heart and with an old-fashioned, strict mode of operating, the pair was often on the scene to back up Hooker and Romano when they needed it. This release includes all the episodes from the first and second seasons.
