Hooked On T.j. Hooker

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!

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.

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

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?

Suit up for an episode that was a horror to produce! Fran Hooker is back and gets pistol-whipped. Can T.J. and his trusty sidekick restore her damaged sight? Or is that best left to the doctors? Hendricks the Canadian Rogue that assaulted her gets tracked down by not only 4-ADAM-30 but also 4-ADAM-16. Officer Jim Corrigan BEGINS! Also how do you make a Frankfurterstein? You know, a zombie hot dog!

On this episode we engage in an impression-off. Who will win, Ben or Eric? Or is that perhaps, a trick question? Jonathan Banks re-spawns as a different villain and we get the triumphant return of Fran Hooker (T.J.'s ex-wife!) Romano arrests a lady and speaking of ladies, lady cop Stacy Sheridan is taken hostage along with Fran and a little girl who needs an emergency procedure. Frank Doubleday (Escape from New York, Assault on Precinct 13) also guest stars as Banks' brother. Plus: Wes Anderson's T.J. Hooker and T.J. Matrix. Tune in or next time you won't clear the hospital gurney!

Hit the reds! It's an all new Hooked on T.J. Hooker with what's that? David Caruso! He's a bomb planting arsonist working for a Management Company (imagine my shock) and then they all split the insurance money. It's a crooked enterprise and only the straightest of arrows can de...crookify it. Yeah. Hooker! This is a wacky episode ranging from Hunch exploration to soul catching. It's got it all and that's why you tune in: pure unadulterated nonsense.

Paint it blue! It's an all new edition of Hooked on T.J. Hooker, your go-to resource for a TV show you never watched and adamantly do not care about! On this episode a gambling ring run by Jim Brown uses their debtors as record clean drug mules to pick up that sweet, sweet Peruvian snow. T.J. Torture emerges from the darkness to drag information out of an unwitting victim. T.J. remembers the correct amount of children he has. He also makes a dude fly to his doom. All of this and so much more! He even kisses a lady!

Blue tide rising! We are back again for another thrilling adventure of T.J. Hooker. This one is directed by you know who and features some series firsts! Injecting a kid with drugs to make it look like an OD and not a homicide? That's a first. Teej and Romano are up against a new type of evil that feeds off kids moving to Los Santollywood with stars in their eyes. This might be the darkest episode yet... but don't worry! Chrissy Hooker is back and selling Ranger cookies.

On this exciting episode of T.J. Hooker we’re joined by Andrew Jupin (We Hate Movies) to discuss Leonard Nimoy arriving in Los Santos!

Then we’re regaled with amusing anecdotes about T.J.’s financial fraught. Romano is dating someone working at a bank and we’re all getting up to our armpits in emotion.

This episode title sounds pretty scary right? Nope! The Mumbler is a young girl who talks to pigeons. Yes, pigeons. Why you might even say this episode of T.J. Hooker is for the birds! A new edition of T.J. Past emerges and a string of armored car robberies implicates wayward youth Larry Coats whose sister Katie is the titular Mumbler. T.J. arranges to give Katie away to his friend who also likes birds (what the?) and law is bent to his T.J. Will. An amazing Samurai-like battle between Larry's crime boss and Hooker cap off this nearly Ramano-less episode.

On this episode of Hooked on T.J. Hooker we welcome Stephen Sajdak (We Hate Movies) to discuss The Decoy! What was the arrangement between Bill Shatner and Leonard Nimoy with this episode? This is a special one as it marks the debut of Stacy going undercover as bait. Why is this serial killer specific to the marina area? Could this killer also possibly be a surfing werewolf? What would it be like if someone made a major motion picture about The Zapruder Film? Plus Circus Burgers!

On this latest episode of #SquadChat a rift breaks through the blues as T.J. Hooker and Vince Romano come to blows! Whoever wins... we're next to die.

Get set to wear the birthday blues! This podcast turns 1 and Ben turns 5-0 (cop lingo, get it?) We're in the Fast Lane now as teenager and kinda step-brother of Romano starts selling stolen booze to high school students. That's his crime christening that ushers him into armed robbery, truck thievery, and a whole mess of trouble. Romano stops T.J. Hooker from executing another wayward youth which causes a devastating rift in their friendship. Also we start out trying to remember moments from our episodes. Who the heck was that Beach Boy anyway?

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!

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.

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!

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!
