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.

Just talked about this show lastnight, my mom loved it!
I have not seen this show in years, but remember never missing an episode when it was on. Would love to sit and re-watch all the seasons again. Something great to pass onto my own kids, to show them what quality TV was back when I was younger.
Entering again : )
I would love to win this
I loved watching this show as a kid although I seriously didn’t exactly know what it was about. I actually remember stop watching it when Johnny Depp wasn’t on it any longer. Love the show and would love to have the series.
Now this would be a great set to own!
I loved this show! 🙂

As I said before I love the chemistry between the 21 jumpstreet team! I loved how they were like a family in a sense because of the way they looked out for each other and were there for each other.
I love this show!
would love to win this!

I am glad that this show is coming out on DVD. It was our generation’s Mod Squad and – as can be read on the article above – it introduced us to many actors who went on to do important work and are still working today. It should be interesting to see if the episodes hold up after so many years.
This show brings back memories
everyone used to watch this one, be great to see it again
