21 Jump Street debuted on FOX in April 1987 and ran until April 1991. Created by Stephen J. Cannell and Patrick Hasburghm, the TV show is noted for propelling Johnny Depp to teen idol status (much to his chagrin) and for being one of the first hits for the new network.
Each episode of 21 Jump Street revolves around a team of fresh-faced young cops who go undercover in high schools and colleges to intercede with troubled youths. Show themes include AIDS, sexual promiscuity, hate crimes, alcohol, drugs, and child abuse. Series regulars include Depp, Holly Robinson, Peter DeLuise, Richard Grieco, Sal Jenco, Dustin Nguyen, Steven Williams and Michael Bendetti.
FOX cancelled the series after four seasons but it continued in syndication for year five. Depp and Nguyen didn’t make the jump.
The complete series has been released on DVD and features all 103 action-packed episodes on 18 discs. Guest stars include Brad Pitt, Vince Vaughn, Jason Priestley, Josh Brolin, Christina Applegate, Bridget Fonda, Dom Deluise, Rosie Perez, John Waters, Shannen Doherty, Thomas Haden Church, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Penhall was my favorite of the McQuaid brothers!
I loved this show when I was young. Sunday nights were for “21 Jump Street”. I guess I was in the minority for thinking Penhall was the cutest. But Johnny Depp has turned out to be a fantastic actor.
good show when it is about johnny’s character. everything else is waste of time
I’d like to win it for my girlfriend. She loves the show.
One of the better cop shows ever!!
I just discovered this show about a month ago! I really love this show, it’s a great well done show! I would love to finish it! And It has my favorite Actor in DREAMY JOHNNY DEPP!*sigh* LOVE ME SOME JOHNNY DEPP!!!!!!
Hope I win!!!
I can only say that from the very first episode I was hooked. I loved the friendship between the four of them and even with their captain. I also loved how they looked out for each other and how they were there for each other when even one of them were going through something tough. I also thought that they were all great actors with Officer Tom Hanson being the cutest of course!
We never thought we’d find a place where we belong.

You’d better be ready to, be ready to jump.
21 Jump Street.
this song will never leave my head!
I remember this show when I was a kid, and I can’t believe I still recall it. At that age I usally watched cartoons, obviously, but the show was good enough to grab my attention. I never got to see the full series but at least a season. I admire Johnny Depp, and in actuality he is becoming a legendary actor, not to say he isn’t one of the greatest right now.
Entering again. : )
This show was one of my absolute favorites. It was great and really spoke to me when I was in high school.
This is a must have for any Johnny Depp fan.
I am a die hard Johnny Depp fan.
I have got 31 Johnny Depp films, (including ones that are no longer available.)
I would love to have this set towards my Johnny Depp collection.
Loved the chemistry between Hanson and Penhall. And the parade of guest starts! It’s like playing Trivia Pursuit!
i really love this show
