I could never get into the show or TV movies, 26 June 2004
5/10
Author: mm-39 from Winnipeg

Can't compare to today's low budget tripe. Budgets for several sets, car chases, and explosions is too much for today on the cheap TV shows. Who cares what loser is going get voted of elimidate, or voted off the island, house or even tool shed. These real life shows are done on the cheap. Even cheaper than the sit com Friends which used a whole two sets where there was nothing but self absorbed gabbing. TJ Hooker had high production values compared to the future of TV, and was fast paced with action. The only problem was the delivery of the show's formula. Predictable, every chase the car has to explode. TJ, hung onto the hood of the bad guys' car. The final fight where TJ uses the night stick. Zimmerman and Locklear were added beef stick for the show. I believe the predictability of the show's formula and delivery helped kill this style of show; along with the high budget which todays on the cheap tv will never do again. 5 out of 10.
