Latest Episodes:

S03E08 - The Trial Dec 24, 2019

Show notes

This exciting edition of T.J. Hooker features everything justice lovers have been looking for under their tree: vindication for a wrongly accused female officer. Romano has been shot in the head, again, and he misunderstands what happened during the shooting so he wrongly points his finger at Gina, a cop friend of Stacy's and someone who she's been trying to hook him up with. Corrigan commits HR violations and the triumphant return of Sherry's Bar! Also Bluestar Galacticop.

S03E07 - A Child Is Missing Nov 26, 2019

Show notes

A child goes missing and isn't it the darnedest thing, it results in T.J. Hooker becoming a one man army invasion force. Old Teej has not only a child to save but a jewel heistin' deadbeatin' dad to crack down upon. So going to Mexico and becoming a vigilante makes sense! This is a scattered episode with many tentacles such as Popeye's Exotic Dance Club to William Forsythe as a jewel thief to Hooker being furious at a fridge. Henry Darrow plays a Mexican cop who assists Hooker. This is a wild one. Strap in!

S03E06 - Walk A Straight Line guest starring Nathan Rabin Sep 10, 2019

Show notes

We welcome Nathan Rabin (The Weird Accordion to Al) to discuss a PCP, angel dust, and sherm in both a drug and alcohol heavy episode depending on who you talk to. It's Nathan's first T.J. Hooker episode and we cover all the bases. T.J. confronts a Detective who is drinking on the job and it just might lead to a whole heap of trouble. Cowboy buys sherm from Pinwheel, the drug bridge is invented, Adrian Zmed is hosting a disco cruise, and so much more.

S03E05 - The Shadow of Truth Jul 18, 2019

Show notes

On this addition of Hooked on T.J. Hooker we get a prolonged addition of TJ Dater and we are here for it! Life at the Safari Inn is explored as his girlfriend, Lisa Jericho (Helen Shaver), is nearly exploded. We get murderous building tycoons, mafia drywall suppliers, and so much more! Also the police force might be up to no good, you know, the usual shit. Lisa reports on it and that makes some cops sad. Poor guys! However, don't fret - Hooker is here to sort out the universe.

Blue Suit Dispatch 2 - Watching Along, Run-ins with the Law, and Crossover TV Jun 28, 2019

Show notes

On the latest Blue Suit Dispatch, we're reading your emails, joking about T.J. Hooker while also investigating the growing problems we face as a nation. Why wasn't there a crossover with other major 1980's TV shows? Also: James Darren who portrayed Corrigan is famously afraid of birds.

S03E04 - The Cheerleader Murder May 29, 2019

Show notes

On this episode of Hooked On T.J. Hooker we dig into The Cheerleader Murder! Hey, why's it called this when the subject is teen porn? This is a doozy of an episode that really highlights the extremities of the show: fun light-hearted banter and the brutality of a society that preys on young people. Hooker's past is illuminated slightly further with the friendship he has with an adult film actress. Romano's in a sling and Corrigan takes a back seat.

S03E03 - Chinatown Mar 29, 2019

Show notes

T.J. Hooker is back and opening up about his T.J. Past and former beat in Chinatown. Did Hooker father another child we didn't previously know about? It sure as hell sounds like it! Why is Hooker so vicious in his besting of Chow Duc KHAAAAAAN!? Yes, we had a Khan in Star Trek and we now have a Khan in T.J. Hooker. This is a problematic episode to put it lightly. T.J. lives it up in the Safari Inn. Plus Ben auditions for community theater!

S03E02 - Carnal Express Feb 28, 2019

Show notes

On this edition of Hooked on T.J. Hooker we talk about the delightfully off the rails episode, Carnal Express! The episode that spawned the idea of a podcast back when it was just a twinkle in Eric's eye. It's about "white slavery" something we now might call human trafficking. Stacy goes undercover as a dancer to try to be abducted to help out with the case. T.J. has new neighbors that Romano finds arousing, but when isn't that creep aroused? A truly terrifying hour of television that can never be made today. Smoke that swamp weed and tune in.

S03E01 - The Return Jan 26, 2019

Show notes

On the SEASON THREE premiere, Hooker is at a crossroads. His wife, Fran and the kids, have been mysteriously whisked away to Oregon. T.J. Divorcee is now fully established to live in a fringe area: The Safari Inn! Dreams haunt him in this motel which make us wonder, what would it be like if Hooker was transformed into some kind of Freddy Krueger-like creature? The dreams were of Johnny, his partner who was shot to death by a ONE HANDED MAN prior to the series start, and now Hooker must become his avenging angel. We get glimpses of the Hooker past wherein he's a narc detective that "wore fresh clothes and had white rolls." This is a big episode on the T.J. Mythos and re-establishes the show to focus on the new partners: TJ & Romano, Stacy & Corrigan

S02E22 - Lady in Blue Dec 21, 2018

Show notes

SEASON TWO FINALE! A female officer asks Hooker out on a date but then in a sad turn of events, her leg is cut off by doctors. T.J. takes it upon himself to convince her to have the will to live again. Meanwhile steamed clams and gun heists are going on. So where's all the action going down? A place aptly called The Action. How's Prince Charles wrapped up in all of this? What would T.J. Hooker be like if he visited the UK? And what oh what will that Hunch of his do next?
