21 Jump Street (+ Booker)

[Tim]

Right

[Squad 51]

Here we are again.

Episode 17 "Champagne High"

A car is stolen from a mall, where it was the main bingo prize. The prime suspects are high school students, so Hanson and Penhall go undercover and assume their role as "the MacQuaid brothers" again. While they're trying to find the car thief, a high school boy who's being bullied asks "the MacQuaid brothers" to protect him.
(taken from here again)

But there's more here: Judy is also undercover and deals with a love sik teenager who does a crime but the police let it drop. The car thief turns out to be a rich teen whose father pressures (and hits) him too much that in the end, he tries to kill him. And well, the bully and the boy may find a truce but we don't know the result.

Some guest stars:
William B. Davis as a teacher (again)
Peter Berg as Sawyer (known from Chicago Hope later on)
Andrew Koenig as Wally

Some pics:


And a suitable GIF:


That's it. More I couldn't find, obviously.

Stay tuned!

[Tim]

Andrew Koenig was the son of Walter Koenig, who played Chekov on Classic Trek.

Sadly, Andrew committed suicide in Vancouver, in 2010.

[Squad 51]

That's sad to hear. Many young actors committed suicide.

Episode 18 "Brother Hanson & the Miracle of Renner's Pond"

Science school books are being burned and other vandalism happens at a school where the majority of the students' families oppose to the students learning about evolution in the biology curriculum. The person who instigated it, is the biology teacher, who, after his son had a near-death experience, became very religious and opposed to the theory of evolution.

Hanson is called in to go undercover at this school to find the people responsible for the vandalism. While doing so, he starts to doubt his own faith in God, or lack thereof.
(taken from here again)

Well, the still ongoing debate 'Bible vs. Evolution' in the USA. When I hear about it, I don't feel so well, to be honest. Science has proven how old the Earth is and where we come from. That people still believe in every word written in the Bible or any other Holy Scripture. *sighs*

Guest stars:
Dann Florek as Jim Crawford (known for Law & Order later)
Gregory Itzin as Principal Jack Garner

Some pics:


One GIF:


As known by now, not quite the right order.

See you tomorrow!

[Tim]

Another topical episode.

[Squad 51]

Yep.

Episode 19 "Raising Marijuana"

Hoffs works a drug case by going undercover and becoming the dealer's girlfriend, but she gets a little too close. On the same case, Penhall and Ioki go into a school posing as "twins" who want to help ship the drugs. (taken from here this time)

Well, no Hanson only once and so the other three Hoffs, Ioki and Penhall are on the case. Penhall and Ioki as Smark Twins (or similar) - funny but not quite the same. Judy is getting too close to her assignment and well, it fires back. The case is solved but at a high price.

Guest stars:
Christian Clemenson as Charles Greening
Sam McMurray as Lt. Tony Brandt
Ian Tracey as Lt. Taubman (hello again)

Some pics:


That's it. Again not the right order! Sorry.

Well, tomorrow then a very special guest!!

This guy played Chandler's obnoxious boss on a few episodes of Friends.  He would call him "BING!" and then slap him on the butt!

[Squad 51]

Ouch.

Episode 20 "Best Years of Your Life"

During an initially routine assignment, Hanson and Penhall arrest a teen for burglary. To their utter shock, in reaction to that, the boy commits suicide. The other students at the high school, and Hanson, afterwards talk about this and deal with it in a healthy way, but Penhall acts strange in reaction and retreats himself and is cynic.
(taken from here again)

Hoffs and Ioki are barely there. Penhall reveals something of his past and has to do with this issue. It takes him a long time to do so, even to Hanson but he sees in the end that it's good to talk about it. Hanson also questions his job but he remains there.

Some guest stars:
Cheryl Pollak as Diana
Brad Pitt as Peter
Gina Nemo as Dorothy
H. Richard Greene as Dr. Freeman

Some pics:


I'll leave it here with the pics.

Oh boy, I couldn't even remember this. Such a long time since I last watched it. lol But interesting!

So, on Sunday ends Season 2, meaning only two episodes left!

---

EDIT: Imagine the costs of this episode with the actors nowadays!

[Melinda Halliwell]

I recognize the woman playing opposite Brad from other 80's programs she'd been in. God, he looks so young here.

He was also in Dallas back then if I remember rightly.

[Squad 51]

From what I could gather researching yesterday, this seems to be true.

Episode 21 "Cory and Dean got married"

Cory's boyfriend, Dean, has shot and murdered her father and eloped with her to get married. She gets arrested but he manages to escape from the police. Now Penhall and Judy get assigned to transport Cory back to her own state by bus and car. So they go on a road trip with her chained to them, while Dean is on the run and looking for her.

Also, Penhall fights with Dorothy, again, as she does not take it well that he has to leave for a few days without notice.
(taken from here again)

Ah young love - with a troubled start. It's known that Dean had shot Cory's Dad but in reality it was her, to save Dean. Even Captain Fuller agrees to this in the end. And Penhall has to deal with an obsessive girlfriend.

Guest star:
Gina Nemo as Dorothy

Some pics:


A bit mixed up with the order again.

Tomorrow then the last episode of S2!!

[Squad 51]

New day, new episode and the last one of S2!

Episode 22 "School's Out"

Summer is coming. Hanson is undercover in a high school to find a student who keeps blowing up toilets there. While Hanson is undercover, he finds out another student is living in the school's attic because he's homeless but desparate to graduate. That student has a search warrant out for him, so now Hanson is torn between his police duty (having to arrest the boy immediately) and the boy's pleas to let him graduate because if he'd end up in prison before that, he wouldn't get an education.

Meanwhile, Fuller tells the Jump Street team that their team might be dismantled in the fall, and that everyone should go look for other jobs within the police force. Judy finds a new job in P.R., but soon finds out the job isn't what it was portrayed to be.
(taken from here again)

Well, here it was not clear if the show will return but it would, obviously. Yet when even the janitor is replaced?!

Guest star:
Gina Nemo as Dorothy

Some pics:


And one GIF:


Ah well, tomorrow then the start of a new season - with a new face!

[Squad 51]

Well, hello to Season 3 and a new addition for this season only!!

Co-Starring:
Richard Grieco as Dennis Booker

Episode 1 "Fun with Animals"

Hanson is assigned Booker as his new partner and the two don't hit it off as Booker's racist attitudes lead Hanson to believe that Booker raped a black student. (taken from here this time)

Whoohoo, what a start! All are back, except Penhall and Hanson and Booker are like fire and ice working together. It's hard to say who is more the bad boy but Booker seems to be shady but turns out to be on the right side. The others accept him well - until they find out that he's there to investigate them!! It takes some time to find out who's really responsible for hurting the young black student.

Oh, and we got a new intro as well.

Some pics:


Might be a bit mixed up again but the hairstyle is clearly 80ies style. lol

Stay tuned for another one tomorrow!

[Squad 51]

Here we go again.

Episode 2 "Slippin' into Darkness"

Hanson and Booker's attempted takedown of a drug dealer is disrupted by a vigilante watch group known as the Street Rangers. When the vigilante leader is killed on the next night, Hanson and the dealer are taken hostage by the leader's brother whom they think took his brother. This prompted a rescue from Booker, Hoffs, Ioki and Fuller to save the day. (taken from here today)

A tough matter nowadays but Penhall is here given an ultimatum whether he'll be back to Jump Street or not. Booker doesn't like to work from the sides but he's now fully integrated in the team. The drug dealer is arrested though in the end - by his own words and game. lol

Guest star:
Tim Russ as Ray Davies (later known as Tuvok)

Some pics:


More I couldn't find, obviously and a bit mixed up again.

See you tomorrow!

P.S. After a neighbor had put on my two new lamps for my living. More light for my desk!!

[Tim]

I missed a few of these.

[Squad 51]

That you did but you can catch up now.

Episode 3 "The Currency We Trade In"

Penhall is assigned to Major Crimes and he works a child abuse case wherein the mother of a girl accuses her husband of molesting their daughter. Penhall publicly arrests the man and accuses him of molesting his daughter. He's trying to get him to admit he abused his daughter but his partner figures out that the mother placed words in her daughter's mouth. Penhall then finds himself ostracized in the unit. The man is fired from his job and Penhall tries to find a way to help him but all the guy knows is that Doug messed up his life.
(taken from here now)

No Booker here and clearly the focus is on Penhall. Hanson has some role but the others are just there for info. In the end, Doug is back at Jump Street - without a beard! lol

Guest stars:
Gina Nemo as Dorothy
Peri Gilpin as Fitzgerald
Yvette Nipar as D.A. Jackie Garrett
Garwin Sanford as Luchek (hello again)

Some pics:


I guess this is it.

Stay tuned for another episode tomorrow!
