Amazon.com:
Florid of face and flamboyant of voice, William Shatner oozes smarmy self-importance with the barest sliver of irony...yet that sliver transforms him from unbearable to bizarrely charming. Mock him all you want--and you will--but the man is unstoppable; T. J. Hooker was his fifth TV series (not counting assorted mini-series or the animated version of Star Trek), with more to come. As a freshly-divorced, middle-aged cop who--out of either proletariat zeal or just a bad attitude--would rather pound a beat than be a detective, Shatner swaggers around in a sausage-tight uniform and lush wig of curly hair, casually spouting right-wing speeches and fearlessly hurling himself onto moving vehicles. With cocky Adrian Zmed (Bachelor Party) and mischievous Heather Locklear (another TV diehard, co-starring in this show and Dynasty simultaneously) as co-stars/eye-candy, T. J. Hooker is a glorious slice of Aaron Spelling cheese.
The brief first season--only five episodes--delved into the dark side of Hooker's character, brooding over booze and mounting debts, riding his recruits because of his own regrets. All that went out the window as the second season roared into action, turning Hooker into a standard tough guy with a heart of gold. But the classic Spelling elements were there from the start: Almost every case involves a relative or an old friend; the bad guys announce their sleaziness from the moment they appear; and no opportunity to show a little skin is missed (short-shorts and tight, nipple-emphasizing tops are de rigueur). Featuring street gangs, snipers, Bible-toting psychos, baby-faced arsonists (a very young David Caruso, NYPD Blue), and vengeful cops (Shatner's old pal Leonard Nimoy), T. J. Hooker had no pretensions to anything but roiling melodrama with some midlevel stunts thrown in every few episodes. It all rests on whether or not you like Shatner. If you do, you'll hug yourself when Hooker's ex-wife tells him, as if intoning a zen koan, 'You'll do your best, and I know you already have, because you always do.' No commentaries, alas; the only extra is a pointless compilation of 'Next week on T. J. Hooker' snippets. --Bret Fetzer

I grew up watch this show and am happy they are bringing them to DVD I have watched every episode this last weekend when it was cold out.
Rating:  - T.J. Hookrer - The Complete 1st & 2nd Seasons
It was fun to watch this old police show. There were som corny moments, but over all the show held up pretty well. The Disc quality was not as good as Magnum PI, the menue tended to hang up. I had to return the first set. Amazon was great as usual. The replacement hung up a bit, but I was able to watch all the episodes. I don't think the lab where it was printed is as good as most of the Universal Studio DVDs. I still would probably buy Season 3. I would not buy it if they break up the seasons into ... Read More
Rating:  - He gives a damn!
He's divorced, he drinks double-bourbons, he carries a .357 non-police issue Magnum and he likes to use it. He's T.J. Hooker and he's out to sweep the filth off the streets so if you are a pusher, junkie, pimp, bleeding heart liberal or just walk on the cracks in the sidewalk then stay clear of Hooker: You are in his sights.
A prime slice of Spelling-Goldberg Reagan era chesseball TV TJ Hooker is Dirty Harry, Judge Dread and Sledgehammer all rolled into one streetwise cop fuelled by Quincey ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent video quality - Poor execution
Sony seems more interested in preventing you from copying their DVDs, than they are creating a menu / case art that actually matches the content of the set. Nearly every menu and liner note is incorrect. It is quite annoying if you are attempting to find a certain episode. One of the reasons I purchased this set was because others said that there were a couple of season three episodes included... Particularly, "Carnal Knowledge," which was one of my all time favorites (as a fan of Heather Locklear." Well ... Read More
