The Complete T.J. Hooker hangs onto the hood of July

Disc Announcements

Hooker’s a good cop!

After he returned from space, but before he got his law degree, William Shatner wore a badge. He kept the community safe as T.J. Hooker, a cop who could clean up a city with his night stick and his amazing ability to cling to car hoods. The show lasted five season and now all the episodes are coming out on July 18 with T.J. Hooker: The Complete Series. Along with Shatner, viewer got a double sexy treat of Adrian Zmed and Heather Locklear in uniform. This was one of the guilty pleasures of the ’80s. Here’s the press release from Shout! Factory:

The legendary William Shatner (Star Trek, Boston Legal) stars as a tough-as-nails officer of the law in T.J. Hooker: The Complete Series. Sgt. Thomas Jefferson Hooker is a veteran cop with the LCPD who has the smarts and the skills to take on the city’s toughest criminals.
