There are a countless amount of American cop shows out there, but me, being a very selective sort, have opted for this underrated gem as my favourite.
William Shatner of Star Trek fame is the show's main and title character, a tough police sergeant who, along with his team, consisting of rookie partner Vince Romano, extremely attractive female rookie officer Stacy Sheridan (also daughter of police captain Dennis Sheridan), and the no-nonsense Jim Corrigan, does everything in his power to fight against the malevolent and criminal underworld that he and his team constantly face.
The action in this show is one of the true highlights: Exhilarating, siren-blaring, tyre-screeching car chases, potent shootouts, punch-ups, foot chases, and so on.
Another true highlight of the show is, as well as the theme tune, the background music: Fast-paced, pulse-pounding, jazzy, synthy, rocky, and whatever else I can think of to describe it.
To conclude, T. J. Hooker is to America what The Sweeney is to Britain: My favourite cop show from that country. Also perhaps William Shatner's best starring role after Star Trek.
