I never watched this show when it was on mainstream television. Of course with the Roku you can catch up on a bunch of series from the past. This one has it all, the tough older cop, the schwarmy young partner womanizer, and they added a young Heather Locklear to the storylines. The show is reminiscent of the older 70s cheesy detective series, like Starsky and Hutch, CHIPS, SWAT etc, even the music is cheesy..
Funny watching it now, in some scenes you can see both of the lead actors wearing lift type shoes to make them seem taller. Shatner is actually pretty good in this series, not so sure if anyone else could have played Hooker, seems like this role was designed for him.
I know this is one of Heather's first acting roles, she does a pretty good job, but as we have seen her in many of her later roles, she definitely honed her acting craft and is a much better actress now than she was in this series (but I have always been a big fan, probably why I watched it).
