Hooked On T.J. Hooker

Latest Episodes:

S04E06 - Target: Hooker May 19, 2022

Show notes

The squad pod car rolls into a banger of an episode, it's Target: Hooker! Old Teej is targeted by a friend of a man he sent up the river. So naturally this involves fire bombs and car explodey shenanigans! Vince Romano loses his eyesight, girlfriend (Toasty!), and nearly everything in a heated act of revenge. We hang out by a power plant, the Scandals club, Bill Maher's house, and find a few locations based on clues hidden in landscape paintings. It's a wild one we recommend you watch first. The show's now available on streaming app Tubi!

S04E05 - Anatomy of a Killing Mar 28, 2022

Show notes

We're lost in the weeds of a barebones T.J. Hooker episode. Jim Brown does respawn as the guest star but he doesn't want to be there. He teams up with Teej to take down a heroin ring but learns even his own family is entangled in its webs. Then the spiders come. We're putting up a picture of William Shatner from the movie "Kingdom of the Spiders" on TJHookerPodcast.com

S04E04 - Hardcore Connection guest starring Angelica Jade Bastién Feb 24, 2022

Show notes

This month on the show we're joined by Angelica Jade Bastién (Vulture, HBO Max's Station Eleven podcast) to talk about a crazy episode of T.J. Hooker. Dennis Franz plays a pornographer and folks, he nails it. Heather Thomas does not nail her turn as Sandy the criminal partner of Hooker but at least porn ring enforcer Moloch thrills us with his shotgun antics. Join us as we navigate these bumpy roads of 1980's television.

S04E03 - Pursuit aka Hot Pursuit Jan 27, 2022

Show notes

On this episode we triumphantly return to the squad pod car and hit the reds. Cats come out of the bag. Secrets are revealed. Romano gets set on fire. Hooker gets laid. This is a big episode full of spills and thrills. Policenauts and police nuts get stimulated. "Bonnie and Clyde" hit a few banks, steal a car, and we all debate "hot pursuits" - should cops actually chase people? This commentator says no.

S04E02 - The Two Faces of Betsy Morgan Oct 28, 2021

Show notes

Reflections on William Shatner riding the Blue Origin to the space and back, what he up to now? Then we have an episode wherein there's a "strangler" on the loose we never see "strangle." Anyway, adult subject matter abound unfortunately with people who are not adults. Also, what kind of Wizard name should T.J. have? Teej Hooklin? You know, like Merlin? No, that's no good! Meanwhile Officer Jim Corrigan is being seduced off the force by his girlfriend, Lady Professor. Will he stay or will he go? This is a sleepy late night recorded episode, so put your slippers on and sink into a leather chair.

S04E01 - Night Vigil guest starring We Hate Movies Sep 16, 2021

Show notes

Series premiere with We Hate Movies! All of them! We're back in our blues to talk about the season's new opening and an array of topics that spans from the nitty gritty of the episode to another man in blue: Jay Leno! Stacy gets shot! And she nearly dies. Hooker reaps the soul of the man who pulled the trigger, Pepper Martin (the guy who bullies Superman in Superman II!) And as always, Hooker will not be stopped until he's stormed the gates of Hell themselves.

S03E22 - Deadlock (Season Finale!) May 28, 2021

Show notes

On the season 3 finale of T.J. Hooker, it's a full moon and we get one of the most interesting episodes of the series. A police uniformed criminal named Rollins (Dennis Lipscomb) gives ol' Teej the battle of his life all contained within a department store. We got our bottle episode! Romano gets shot! Again! Plus Eric annoys Ben with the squad car's latest addition: a soundboard.

S03E21 - Gang War guest starring Angelica Jade Bastién Apr 27, 2021

Show notes

We are delighted to be joined by Angelica Jade Bastién (Vulture and much more) to discuss the all around sub-par episode Gang War! T.J. Christer appears to help two rival gangs in the Barrio neighborhood. A young woman named Julie is trying to set up an organization to help the community but becomes a love interest, for some reason, to a man 23 years older named T.J. Hooker (William Shatner directed this episode.) Plus Eric notices Krull arcade machine!

S0E20 - Psychic Terror Feb 23, 2021

Show notes

We receive a new theme song from a listener named Tom. The supernatural finally arrives in Los Santos. Spooky music, psychic abilities, and the Almighty Bruce Glover becomes TJ's Joker. The Shat Attack's wife Marcy Lafferty at the time also guests stars as a psychic that helps guide Teej to success. We pitch Hungry Man Dinners: The TV Show.

S03E19 - Death Strip guest starring Sean Sullivan Jan 30, 2021

Show notes

We are joined today by comedian Sean Sullivan! T.J. Hooker and Romano have to save a girl Romano was dating, but after she dies, Romano dates the sister, until she is kidnapped, but then they save her so they can date again. Cocaine and photographic MacGuffins abound, plus criminal ex-Navy frogmen! Romano undercover as a male stripper! We also ask the big important questions, such as: Are those you kill in this life your servants in Hell?
