Editorial Reviews and DVD Information about 21 Jump Street - The Complete First Season

Description
It all begins here, as baby-faced rookie Officer Tom Hanson (Johnny Depp) is assigned to an elite squad of young undercover cops - Judy Hoffs (Holly Robinson Peete), Doug Penhall (Peter DeLuise) and Harry Truman Ioki (Dustin Nguyen) - to infiltrate high schools and fight crime. Frederic Forrest and Steven Williams co-star in this classic first season that also features such guest stars as Jason Priestley, Josh Brolin, David Paymer, Sherilyn Fenn and Blair Underwood in what became Fox’s first runaway hit and remains one of the coolest cop shows in TV history! 21 JUMP STREET - SEASON ONE includes all 13 explosive episodes - including the rarely seen two-part premiere - and is now packed with extras that include all-new interviews with stars Holly Robinson Peete, Dustin Nguyen, Steven Williams and series co- creator Stephen J. Cannell and an exclusive audio commentary with star Peter DeLuise.

Best known today as the series that helped launch Johnny Depp to stardom, Stephen J. Cannell's 21 Jump Street was also one of the first hit programs for the fledgling Fox network, a status that lasted for most of its five-year run (1987-91), thanks to its engaging mix of youth culture and police drama. As outlined in the pilot, Depp's baby-faced Ofc. Tom Hanson is transferred to the special Jump Street division, a unit that utilized young cops to infiltrate juvenile crime. Unlike many of Fox's youth-oriented shows of the period (i.e., Beverly Hills 90210), Jump Street took its stories seriously, and addressed numerous social issues in its episodes; though some of the fashions and slang seem dated, the program remains entertaining decades later. The Jump Street set compiles all 13 episodes of the debut season, including the two-part pilot; the solid extras feature commentary by co-star Peter DeLuise, as well as interviews with fellow Jump Street officers Dustin Nguyen, Holly Robinson Peete, and Steven Williams (whose Captain Fuller replaced Frederic Forrest's Jenko halfway through the first season), as well as the prolific Cannell. --Paul Gaita

Customer Reviews for 21 Jump Street - The Complete First Season

A Great cop TV show
In my opinion, 21 Jump Street is one of the best TV series of it's decade. It has great storylines, fantastic acting and an awesome theme song. The first season is my favourite season.

DVD features:

Pros: Commentaries from the creator and some of the cast members. I liked how they talked about how they came up with the idea of the show.

Cons: No Bloopers (I love bloopers). No Johnny Depp commentary or Peter DeLuise commentary.21 Jump Street - The Complete First Season

I LOVE 21JUMPSTREET
hi i'm Paula and i'm from Portugal, i bought 21JUMPSTREET and to see Hanson(Depp)and Penhall's(deluise) jokes again was so fun,the quality is very good, and as commentaries with the cast, sadly for me it doesn't have subtitles not even in english. i dare you to buy it you wont regret it, YOU WILL LOVE IT.21 Jump Street - The Complete First Season

Ahhh, Johnny Depp.....
Ok, up front, I am an intense Johnny Depp fan. With that said, should I actually write anything else? Probably not but I will anyway.

The series is as poignant today as it was in the late 80's. If Hollie Robinson's hair could be tamed down a bit and Frederick Forrest's hippie talk was toned down a bit, it could probably play pretty well today. Themes around teenage prostitution, drug dealing and using, pregnancy, the whole gamut of teen issues are covered in the series. It's not as sexual or violent as today's teen shows. It's much less sophisticated, but just as meaningful. And then there is Johnny Depp. Baby faced and clean cut, he just can't make it as a beat cop. No one takes him seriously! This is an exceptional opportunity to allow him to portray any number of characters as an undercover cop.

This is only the first season. It will be interesting to see how he develops as an actor through the rest of the series.

21 Jump Street - The Complete First Season
A great item to buy for the Johnny Depp lover. Guest star appearances by stars you might recognize to this day as still being popular and famous, such as Brad Pitt for example. Great show and I wish there were shows like this still on TV today.21 Jump Street - The Complete First Season

Okey-Doke! This is awesome!
Hey mates,

Okay, to start it off. I was born in 1985 -- two years before this show even aired. Therefore I was a bit young to enjoy this television series. However, I must say, that even if the music has changed, I LOVED this season! I had many laughs at Hanson especially because he's such a clear cut guy that if it ain't done by the book he's gonna remind everyone about it. I especially love it when he goes Punk in the last episode, I have to get a pick of him in the "Plaid Bondage Pants" HOT STUFF there mates!

Another thing you gotta know is that as a writter, Johnny Depp is an inspiration to me because of all the different characters he plays. Even on othis show, you know who he is, and yet he can play a totally different character and be Tom Hanson. All the actors pulled it off rather well -- and I especially appreciated the porn ring episode with the teen modeling with Judy.

It's great to see that stuff that teens deal with now, it had to be dealt with in their parents/grandparents generation. Just goes to show that we ain't too different after all!

ta,
