Why was T J Hooker still working the streets when he was a Sergeant, and should have been ensconced in a cosy desk job at his age?

Was there some key plot element I've missed? Like he got into trouble for saving some poor Hispanic girl who'd been raped and beaten (but still looked pretty and telegenic), but the Department considered him too valuable an officer to lose?

Theories welcomed at this address

He was given the task of showing young Vince the ropes. Despite there being a certain friction in their relationship to begin with, Hooker gradually came to see Vince as the son he'd never had. Shortly afterwards, strange urges took ho

It's all coming back to me now, thanks. So where did Heather Locklear fit into it all?

Hooker's old partner, Johnny, was killed by the bad guys - he elected to go back on the streets to clear out the scum. As he'll say at every opportunity.

Heather Lockyear provides the big haired eye candy.

The show is so bad I can't get enough of it.

And there was me thinking that with a topic like that the only possible thread was:

That shot in the opening titles of William Shatner running toward the camera, his jowls shaking like there's an earthquake on the way, that's worth the entire budget of the entire series on its entire own.

I've never seen this, but nothing can ever beat Quincy. Like the episode where there wasn't even a murder, so he investigated food poisoning.

Or the one in my mind where no, really, it was suicide.

Hee hee hee hee. I forgot about that. I recall that my dad and I used to watch it together and laugh at it. Our favorite game was counting explosions. Every car chase ended with the bad guys' car flipping over and skidding along on it's roof, then exploding. They filmed the explosion from several angles and then edited it together so that car REALLY went off. "Boom! Blang! Pow! Poof! KaBLAM!" The record from our count was a car which exploded from seven different angles. I think it was a Christmas episode.

I guess I'm guilty of thread rot, but how many times will I get to talk about T.J. fucking Hooker on Barbelith?
