TJ Hooker after 20 years

[Cheapjack]

TJ Hooker is repeating on Freeview TV in the UK at the moment.

I love watching Bill doing anything, but once you've seen Reservoir Dogs, it's a bit dated!

Imagine if they cut Romano's ear off!!??

 

[RJDiogenes]

Not a bad show. Old-school Aaron Spelling with Heather Locklear and a guy who looks like Victor Mature.

Anyway, this is more suited to General Media, so I'll beam it over there.

Stand back whilst I do the Mod Hand Jive! Whee-oooo!

^ The guy who looks like Victor Mature was also Vic Fontaine, the Holographic lounge singer in DS9.

^And Tony Newman in The Time Tunnel.

A Man Called Moondoggie.

It must just be me. Victor Mature looks nothing like James Darren.

He could, however, be Jerry Orbach's twin brother.

 

[Christopher]

Is the Bizarro Earth counterpart of Victor Mature named Loser Childish?

 

[Captaindemotion]

^Viz magazine once had a character called Victor Immature, who went about laughing at farts, innuendo and the likes ...

 

[RJDiogenes]

Actually, I was talking about the younger guy, whose name turns out to be Adrien Zmed.

The guy playing TJ Hooker looks familiar. Has he been in anything else? Is he Chris Pine's dad?

No, you remember, he was Spencer Tracy's aide in Judgment at Nuremberg. And he may have done one or two things of note later on...

Wasn't he Jeffrey Hunter's understudy in a TV show?

Yeah. That movie that was entirely in Esperanto...Incubus.

And American Psycho II. An instant classic, of course.

I think he did a couple of Twilight Zones. Pity, really, I think he could have done more in the sci-fi, genre.

And let's not forget his career-defining lead role as a lawyer. That's right, in For the People in 1965.

 

[Captaindemotion]

Funny to think that such an average (at best) show has been referenced by movies as disparate as True Romance and Charlie's Angels. Just goes to show, you can't beat the power of The Shat.

I'm not sure he was an actual understudy, but it seems like I'm remember him taking over a Jeffrey Hunter role. But I could be wrong. That was a long time ago.

I think that show went on for a couple of seasons. I know that one of them anyway, I think it was Leonard McCoy, went on to star in Mission Impossible.
