S02E11 - The Connection guest starring Chris Cabin Dec 20, 2017

Show notes

We welcome The Most Contrarian Film Critic in the World, Chris Cabin! You might know his work from We Hate Movies or Collider.com. A high school student dangles from a rooftop after engaging in dreaded PCP usage. Who is behind this nefarious drug trade? None other than Tutti Nelson! The show begins to delve deeper into the T.J. Past. Turns out old Tutti is a part of the Hookerverse Rogues Gallery! Romano begins to learn that this T.J. might be full of B.S. and Terri Nunn (lead singer of the band Berlin) stops by as a drug dealer's girlfriend!

S02E10 - Thieves' Highway Nov 22, 2017

Show notes

Go ahead and grab second helping of Turkey J. Hooker. In this episode a produce wholesaler and union buster begins sabotaging independent truckers (the backbone of this country!), chief among them, George R.R. Martin (portrayed by Guy Stockwell) who has an attractive daughter and ape. The monkey business does not stop there as for some goddamn reason T.J. begins advocating the use of a banned tactic at the Academy - the chokehold. This ensnares the wild Hooker in a game of wits with Commissioner Cook. Romano scores big with Martin's pet ape and daughter alike.

S02E09 - A Cry for Help Oct 25, 2017

Show notes

A Colombian drug lord (who for some reason doesn't actually have the drugs he wants to sell) moves in on Los Santos. Well, T.J. Hooker won't stand for it – so he'll grapple to the side of an airplane instead! A family is torn apart by heroin and a young kid who looks old has a hearing disorder that T.J. Hooker makes his passion project. Why does T.J. Hooker have immediate access to an operating room? Would T.J. Hooker make a better Blade Runner or lawyer? Romano is a millennial. And Philip Baker Hall plays a Judge who is flabbergasted at Hooker having concern for any human life!

S02E08 - Deadly Ambition Sep 22, 2017

Show notes

An ambitious, one might say deadly ambitious, detective of the week is out to nail Hooker's friend on a charge of aiding jewel thieves while working as a diamond-exchange guard. Legendary musician Jerry Lee Lewis appears as himself. The Most Interesting Man in the World appears as someone else. Eric and Ben cruise down Los Santos for a lengthy Van culture discussion. Hooker's hunch senses new things and we mourn the loss of TJ-Hooker.com!

S02E07 - The Survival Syndrome Aug 25, 2017

Show notes

Eric and Ben are back in 4Adam30 and out for blood because T.J. Hooker has been wrongly accused of killing an innocent kid! Oh, and by the way, Romano gets shot in the head in this episode. A group of teenagers are put up to stealing Ford Broncos by a mysterious multi-dimensional villain that operates out of a car chop shop. Romano attempts recovery but it's an uphill battle involving hallucinations and super computers. Meanwhile Hooker must prove his innocence by hunting down the Ford Bronco where his bullet is lodged.

Blue Suit Dispatch 1 - Meeting William Shatner, Show Theories, Original Broadcast History, and Vietnam Aug 18, 2017

Show notes

On our first ever Blue Suit Dispatch we read your e-mails about our podcast! This includes meeting William Shatner and getting him to sign things at conventions and while he's having dinner! A solemn reading from The Book of Shatner (the autobiography Up Till Now) which features many great #HookerNuggets. Then we learn about getting baked in Vietnam.

S02E06 - Terror at the Academy Jul 26, 2017

Show notes

Get set to remember Vietnam. Our hero T.J. and his trusty sidekick Vince Romano square off against a sniper with a grudge. It is a reckoning that has been prophesied. Who will win? Good or Evil? Romano also sizes up a new cadet he'd like to get to know better. Chrissie, Hooker's daughter, needs a frog costume for a school play. We deal with shootings, explosions, booby traps, and light-hearted sitcom elements. The combination of all of the above is what truly makes this show special.

S02E05 - Bigfoot guest starring Stephen Sajdak Jun 28, 2017

Show notes

We're back with guest star Stephen Sajdak (We Hate Movies)! Hooker and Romano pursue the elusive rapist known as "Bigfoot" through the streets of Los Santos. He's known for having a large shoe print that can be found at crime scenes. There's a lot of twists and turns in this episode including a radio station's involvement, a shakedown of an adult bookstore owner, and our guest talks about Shaq. T.J. Future meets his potential match in T.J. Dreams. Don't miss your patrol, cadet. Get set to wear the blue.

S02E04 - Blind Justice May 31, 2017

Show notes

Hang ten, scum! T.J. Hooker and Romano hit the beach to ensnare women and dig on the Beach Boys. Anne (portrayed by Shatner's then wife Marcy Lafferty) witnesses a crime and Hooker needs answers. The complication? She's blind. Hooker lays it on thick anyway. Romano admires women, again, and again... and again. The Beach Boys guest star in horrible archival footage, Carl Wilson films an actual cameo. The legend of T.J. grows yet again.

S02E03 - The Empty Gun May 22, 2017

Show notes

On this thrilling episode of T.J. Hooker, fellow officers criticize Romano for not shooting a juvenile cop killer. We explore the world of T.J. Future some more and wonder if it is connected to the 2000 AD series Judge Dredd. We discuss the state of TV revivals and Hooker nearly runs over a homeless woman. Guest stars include Herbert Jefferson Jr (Boomer from Battlestar Galactica) and Scott Thomson (Police Academy films.)
