T.J. Hooker
After his partner is murdered, veteran plain clothes Detective T.J. Hooker (William Shatner) returns to his former role as Sergeant to rid the streets of the scum responsible for his partner's death. Hooker is assigned to train the academy recruits and is partnered with the brash, hot-headed young rookie Vince Romano (Adrian Zmed). The age difference is the hook of the partnership, and the pair quickly become good friends and an excellent team. At times unintentionally hilarious, thanks to Shatner's so-straight-it's-camp delivery of moral speeches to young offenders and Romano, T.J. Hooker was a hit - with its blend of good humor mixed in with "on the streets" grittiness, and it followed the footsteps of Starsky & Hutch, becoming one of the most popular cop shows of the time. Starring: William Shatner as Sgt. T.J. Hooker ; Adrian Zmed as Off. Vince Romano; Heather Locklear as Off. Stacy Sheridan; Richard Herd as Capt. Dennis Sheridan; Lee Bryant as Fran Hooker; April Clough as Vicki Taylor; and James Darren as Off. Jim Corrigan.
