    21 Jump Street is a police procedural crime drama television series that focuses on a squad of youthful-looking undercover police officers investigating crimes in high schools, colleges, and other teenage venues that was created to attract a younger audience.It stars Johnny Depp,Holly Robinson,Peter DeLuise,Dustin Nguyen and Richard Grieco.The show ran from 1987 to 1991. The landmark television series which catapulted the success of the FOX TV network and the career of movie star,Johnny Depp.The TV series focuses on a group of police officers headquartered at the titular address. Officer Tom Hanson (Depp) leads his band of agents in the special Jump Street division by going undercover to infiltrate local schools to put a stop to crime and keep students safe from corrupt influences. The 21 Jump Street team is a mixed group including the wise cracking Officer HT Ioki (Nguyen), the brilliant Officer Judy Hoffs (Robinson), the streetwise Officer Doug Penhall (DeLuise) and, in latter episodes, the renegade Officer Dennis Booker (Grieco).These officers are all young and have especially youthful appearances, which allows them to pass for teenagers. Their assignments generally consist of undercover work in high schools or, less commonly, colleges, where they generally investigate drug trafficking and abuse. The plot lines cover issues such as alcoholism, hate crimes, drug abuse, homophobia, AIDS, child abuse, and sexual promiscuity. Similarly, each problem is often solved by the end of the hour-long episode, giving an implicit moral about the impact of a particular activity. This is definitely one of the best cop shows TV series back in the 1980's.Although it faltered in the last season after Johnny Depp left the series,I could still say that it really presented something refreshing and original back then.Aside from Depp,other stars of the show were also great like Dustin Nguyen,Richard Grieco and Holly Robinson.They all were able to portray interesting characters.And the themes it presented offered is evidently helpful to its target audience - the youth.Overall,it was one show that will definitely be missed and that defined the 1980's.

    '21 Jumpstreet' only escaped being totally forgotten by television viewers because it's early star, Johnny Depp, would go on to gain such widespread cinematic notoriety. Otherwise, the exaggerated after-school-special styled cop drama would be completely dismissed as incredibly cheesy and ridiculous. Granted, the series, which follows the "Jump Street" program managed by one police captain and four baby-faced detectives who occasionally go undercover at high schools and such to investigate the latest of teenagers gone wild, did bring attention to pressing issues of drug use, teen pregnancy, school violence, racism and other topics that don't even get an ounce of attention in today's television programs geared toward young viewers.But, it did so in such a way that almost mirrored late 1970s and early 1980s dramas like Class of 1984 which featured completely out-of-control urban teens raising hell much to the confusion and chagrin of various adult authority who just assume wipe them out completely in order to avoid wasting time trying to get them to stop their craziness. It is hard to watch Jumpstreet reruns and take much of any of it seriously. The dialog was bad enough, but the situations themselves are written with such absurdity. In the second season episode, "After School Special," a student shoots a teacher, and Hoffs and the police captain both go undercover to investigate gun dealers at school. We find out that pretty much every student is packing heat and lots of teachers are or soon intend to be as well. As if this weren't stupid enough, the gang seems to take measures lightly considering the amount of arms floating around on campus.The series became as dated and cheesy as a lot of the other cautionary television shows similar to it (Highway to Heaven is one that comes to mind), and especially at the beginning of the second season. Unfortunately, it was hard to take seriously any of the youth-centered issues it had hoped to address, leaving it only valuable as a source of nostalgia (there were a lot of familiar faces in guest starring roles, and almost as many mullets).

    My absolute favorite show on the Fox Network was 21 Jump Street. Oh whoa was Johnny Depp ever cute. I would sit around on Mondays waiting for it to come on and when it did come on I was just contented to watch it because of Johnny Depp. When it did come on I would be like: "okay it's on. Don't talk to me when it's on, don't talk to me when Johnny is talking. Speak only when the commercials are on because if I miss out on one thing Johnny says I will slug you." Believe me when I get a new TV and DVD player this is what I want to have in my DVD collection just so I can watch Johnny Depp. I was absolutely heartbroken when Johnny Depp left the show to pursue movie roles. Quite frankly I think he was better off staying on 21 Jump Street but when you have to move on then you have to move on.We never thought of finding a place where we belong Don't have to stand alone we'll never let you fall Don't need permission to decide what you believeOooh I said jump down on Jump Street I said jump down on Jump StreetYour friends will be there when your back is to the wall and when you finally meet us cause there's no one left to call and if it's hopeless a decision's what you needYou gotta be ready to... Be ready to Jump21 Jump Street.
