21 Jump Street	comment	A 1980s police drama series that lasted from April, 1987 to April, 1991, with a total of 106 episodes in five seasons.21 Jump Street was the Fox Broadcasting Company's first drama, and was part of its inaugural season along with sitcoms Married... with Children, The Tracey Ullman Show, Duet and Mr. President.It is about a special undercover police unit in an unnamed American city, where young-looking police officers infiltrate schools to investigate youth-related crimes. In the earlier seasons these were high schools, later they increasingly went into universities and other non-high school settings.The series made Johnny Depp a star, but a Teen Idol was the last thing he wanted to be. He quit at the end of season 4, the series carried on for one other season (the 5th) after this, and then got cancelled.Had a spinoff series, Booker, which ran for one season from 1989 to 1990, following the character of Dennis Booker.A very well received film "sequel" (a raunchy comedy spin-off) was released in 2012, starring Jonah Hill (who also co-wrote the script), Channing Tatum, Brie Larson, and Ice Cube. Johnny Depp and Peter DeLuise appear in cameos as their original-series characters, Tom Hanson and Doug Penhall. Holly Robinson Peete also returned as Judy Hoffs, in a slightly more substantial role. The film itself received a sequel, 22 Jump Street, in 2014, which featured small cameos from Dustin Nguyen and Richard Grieco.Due to the drastic difference in tone and contradiction of the show's continuitynote Tom Hanson and Doug Penhall die in the movie (reportedly Johnny Depp himself demanded his character to die in the movie as a condition for accepting his cameo role) being middle-aged, working for the DEA in 2012, while in the Back from the Future episode of the series, they are shown to have lived to be very old men in the 2030's after quitting police work, the movie is not necessarily recommended for fans of the series.The entire series is available for free streaming on YouTube via Filmrise TV.Compare The Mod Squad, a 1960s police series about young outcasts using their hippie personas to work as undercover detectives.

21 Jump Street / int_12dd1d4c	type	Rape as Drama
21 Jump Street / int_12dd1d4c	comment	Rape as Drama: Judy becomes a rape victim in Season 4's Stand by your man; several episodes later mention Judy's later trauma over it, even near the end of the show. Season 3's Hell Week: a college student is raped at a fraternity party, in front of many onlooking other students. It traumatizes her so much that she quits college, and it also affects the life of her brother, who also is in that college. Unfinished Business is about a serial rapist who fixates on disabled women. The main plot of The Education of Terry Carver in season 5; more than the other episodes, this focused on how rape trials can target the victim and their previous sex life, and how in some cases a rape survivor can be even more traumatized by the trial than the rape itself (studies have shown that this is one of the main reasons victims don't report rapes in real life).

He initially tries to get away with this, but realizes that he was very irresponsible, and that as a cop he has to practice what he preaches.

After Penhall was thrown out of his house by his girlfriend Dorothy, he moves into Ioki's apartment (driving the latter almost instane with his bad manners). It even accumulates in a scene with Ioki dressed up in drag and them pretending to be a heterosexual couple on a date (in order to catch a criminal), in which they're bickering about their domestic differences. Penhall and Hanson were like this, too; so much so, that their most frequently-repeated undercover persona was as the MacQuaid brothers.

21 Jump Street / int_1c9537cd	comment	In general, even though the main characters are the police, uniformed officers still appear to be useless, since the story almost always makes some excuse to not bring them in and bust a suspect, because of course Jump Street needs to gather more evidence via their undercover officers first. This can be a bit silly in situations where most real-life officers would call for backup, but it's probably more a case of The Main Characters Do Everything.

21 Jump Street / int_22cf536c	comment	Chekhov's Gun: there's a rather clever one in season 5's "In the Name of Love". In the first act, Mac visits the home of Lisa, the teenage girl he's been assigned to befriend (her father is the episode's Big Bad). During an awkward attempt at seduction, Lisa mentions that she's always wondered what it would feel like to make love on her father's black leopard skin rug. Late in the third act, the investigation is going nowhere and Mac's being pressured to think of anything the police and FBI can use to get a search warrant for the house and warehouse. He remembers the black leopard skin rug, and double-checks that black leopards are endangered... and isn't it a felony to import endangered animals or products thereof? It is. And it works.

21 Jump Street / int_32da91b8	comment	Out of Focus: Most episodes tend to center around the one or two officers working a case, with the captain and the other characters only getting a few lines here and there, but Season 4's "God Is a Bullet" is notable for not featuring any scenes at the precinct, and Penhall and Hoffs being the only main characters who appear. Later in Season 4, an entire episode took place in El Salvador, and didn't feature any police work at all and no characters but Doug and Tom. This becomes more prevalent as the later seasons progress, with most of the characters other than the one or two in the spotlight getting a mere Mandatory Line, if they appear at all. Johnny Depp—ostensibly still the star of the show—is absent more frequently than any other actor at this point.

The girl turns out to be pregnant, and she and the boy together tell the whole school not only about their relationship, but that they are also going to raise this baby together, no matter what, and that the other students should take this as an inspiration to stop the racial hate. Their message does seem to make an impact. "Whose Choice Is It Anyway" featured this prominently, since it was about pregnant teenagers considering whether they should get an abortion, against the backdrop story of violence against abortion clinics. There was one pregnant girl in particular that Judy befriended.

The pilot involved a young drug-addict (Brian) who had run up a lot of debt with the drug-dealer at his school (Waxer), who was harassing him (to the point where they invaded his home during breakfast and let his parents know he owed them money). Hanson manages to put Waxer in prison and save the day. However, there are two sequel episodes to the pilot which reveal that Brian never kicked his drug habit, and died of an overdose; Waxer eventually got out of prison and quickly gets himself put back in because he's so completely screwed up his life at its very beginning (he's only about 20) that he'll never have anything decent unless he returns to crime.

21 Jump Street / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness: In the earlier episodes of the first season, compared to later episodes: Jenko is the team's Captain as opposed to Fuller, who was a polar opposite in personality. The team had a very different dynamic due to Hanson being just new and everybody just getting to know each other. Hanson was an awkward and uptight rookie cop but later a confident cop and a much more loose character. Also, the earlier episodes featured more straightforward police cases, while the later ones tended more towards being a Very Special Episode / Afterschool Special.

When he hears it from the Chief, he originally is strongly opposed to it, saying he wants to be a real cop (meaning patrol/uniformed), "like [his] father was". The Chief makes it clear he must go to Jump Street, he does, he eventually likes it and we get the rest of the series. After Booker has violated many rules in order to get the falsely convicted Hanson out of prison, he is disciplined by being reassigned to a paper work job in the basement of the police library. Upon hearing that he immediately resigns from his job (and then becomes a private detective in his own spin-off series).

21 Jump Street / int_59907e4f	type	Police Are Useless
21 Jump Street / int_59907e4f	comment	Police Are Useless: The opinion of the Street Rangers from Season 3. In general, even though the main characters are the police, uniformed officers still appear to be useless, since the story almost always makes some excuse to not bring them in and bust a suspect, because of course Jump Street needs to gather more evidence via their undercover officers first. This can be a bit silly in situations where most real-life officers would call for backup, but it's probably more a case of The Main Characters Do Everything. This is character's Tom Hanson's sentiment during much of Season 4. Following his having experienced what it's like being in a Juvenile Prison in Season 3; having been wrongfully sentenced for a murder he didn't commit; and watching someone he arrested get capital punishment, Tom gets extremely cynical about police work. During Season 4 he keeps mentioning wanting to quit being a cop, and at the end of Season 4, he seems to have finally done that, since he disappears.

It's telling that when she dies, Hanson mostly feels guilty about that he as a cop failed to overmaster the robber who shot her, rather than missing her as a person. Averted for Hanson's next girlfriend, Jackie, who was written in as a colleague of Penhall's, and who worked as a D.A., thus her work partially overlapped with Hanson's.

21 Jump Street / int_74ee1c2d	comment	Out-of-Genre Experience: While early seasons almost exclusively revolved around the Jump Street cops posing undercover in high schools, later seasons saw more episodes where the main plot didn't focus on a student, or students. Shirts and Skins: Penhall investigates the murder of a neo-Nazi leader with an adult son who is eventually revealed as the killer, while Hoffs and Ioki blend in with anti-racism vigilantes whose leader, a middle-aged man, has his own sets of stereotypes about Asians. Numerous later-season episodes which focus on the officers' personal lives, as opposed to campus or youth crimes. Stand by your Man: Starts as a standard episode where the team investigates drug abuse. But that case itself is solved within 15 minutes and the episode turns out to be about Judy's rape, making her the victim here instead of the police officer. It's much more dramatic and less crime/action oriented than most of the series (see also "Break the Cutie" above). The biggest digression happens with two episodes in Season 4, which respectively center around: first going to Florida on Spring Break, and then going to war-ridden El Salvador and discovering Penhall's wife has been murdered by the corrupt military. Peter Deluise's final episode, Number One with a Bullet opens with Penhall in uniform, as part of a security detail for a political candidate. He is shot during an assassination attempt, and the episode as a whole deals with his possible survival. Penhall lives, and is expected to make a full recovery; but his adopted son Clavo is so traumatized by nearly losing Doug that he quits the force for a less dangerous line of work. Film at eleven plays with this; Mac is assigned to investigate the disappearance of a teenage girl, but he does so openly as a police officer; he doesn't go undercover, or anywhere near the girl's school.

21 Jump Street / int_786bf97f	type	Real Life Writes the Plot
21 Jump Street / int_786bf97f	comment	Real Life Writes the Plot : In-series. The actors aged so much in Real Life, that after a few seasons they couldn't realistically pass for high school students anymore. Therefore, as of Season 3, episodes start to deviate from the, previously standard, High School setting as where the Jump Street crew goes undercover—and start to cover different, more adult, environments they go undercover in. E.g. Hell Week takes place at a college / university; Blinded by the Thousand Points of Light is about homeless young adults; A.W.O.L. is about a soldier on the run. This was played up even more in Season 4, which had even more episodes set at college / university instead of high school (Say It Ain't So, Pete, Stand By Your Man, Research and Destroy), and was when a Jump Street crew member, Penhall, first went undercover as a staff member instead of as a student (Blackout / Business as Usual). By Season 5, Penhall and Hoffs have visibly aged enough that they have not only been on 'regular' duties more than once, but in Season 5 they're both sent undercover as staff more than students. E.g. in Diplomas for Sale, Doug, Judy and new guy Mac are college, not high school students. Poison, Judy is a guidance counsellor, and Penhall is off-site support for the guest star undercover agent; in Just say no! high, Judy is a student, but Doug is an assistant sports coach. one of the reasons (besides Johnny Depp leaving) that Mac McCann and Joey Penhall joined the cast season 5; they still looked young enough to pass as high school students, even if only as seniors. You can really tell the difference, when Doug and Michael DeLuise are in a scene together.

His experience there ends bitter, anyway, since he is shipped off from that team after having made a mistake on a case. Then he returns back to Jump Street clean-shaven, and his spirits rise again. Meta version for Johnny Depp: as the show went on, and he became more and more of a "teen hearthrob" (to his vocal dismay), his bangs get longer and longer, until they're half-covering his face; this was deliberate on Depp's part, to try and hide the face that got him so much unwanted attention.

21 Jump Street / int_8387bb18	comment	Good Girls Avoid Abortion: Deconstructed in "Whose choice is it anyway?". The main guest star seriously looks into adoption, and sees a counsellor to explore her options, including abortion. The character ends up miscarrying after her boyfriend bombs the counselling/abortion clinic, him not knowing she's in there. In the episode it's also revealed that Judy had an abortion at 17; when asked if she regretted it, Judy answers poignantly that she regrets getting pregnant, and she really regrets not sharing it with her mother, but she believes that she made the right choice. The episode itself shows either a serious exploration or an example of all the three main choices: keeping and raising the baby, adoption, and abortion—and all are shown as valid choices.

21 Jump Street / int_930a6e6a	comment	Then there's Lisa Burbank, in "In The Name of Love"; she's an outcast at school because of her uncool image, plus rumors that her father's a criminal—which she fiercely denies. But when she's visiting her father at his business warehouse, it's raided by the FBI & police—and she recognises one of the officers in the raid as the new kid at school... the cute guy who became her first friend in years, and who she even asked to have sex with her! Then undeniable proof is found that the father she's so loyally defended is a drug smuggler, and very likely guilty of everything he's been accused of (and the viewer knows that he's guilty of at least one murder)... and the only person willing to comfort her is said undercover cop, who pulls her into a tear-stained Cool-Down Hug as her father is led away in handcuffs. and Mac borders on Woobie territory in this ep, himself. 'Persuaded' by the FBI into taking this particular undercover assignment, at the same time he's trying very hard to reconcile with his visiting ex-lover, Samantha. Mac feels uneasy about targeting Lisa to get to her father right from the start, and becomes even more so as the ep progresses, because Lisa really is a nice girl who he honestly likes. But Lisa runs into Mac attending a business function with Samantha as her date. Lisa throws a fit, which not only blows his cover, but brings down criticism from the FBI. While he manages a last-ditch idea to justify a raid of Burbank's warehouse, he has to watch Lisa, who he's genuinely grown fond of, becoming more and more upset. After Burbank is arrested, he comes home to find his ex packing her bags; she's decided that she can't deal with his career.

Some of the most prominent: A family Officer Judy coincidentally finds out physically abuses their teenage children (her Captain Fuller wants her to stay out of it, but she insists on helping the teenage children who are battered). Mike from the Season 4 episode "Mike's P.O.V.": A teenage boy who murders the wife of his teacher for money; the episode explains his back story, which is that he has a major crush on one of his class mates, and it's implied he only did it to impress her. Kyle, the antagonist of "Things We Said Today": His life wasn't all that great when he met Ioki; but Ioki's friendship directly influenced him into making a decision whose consequences sent his life straight to rock bottom. after finding out the whole story, Ioki agrees; when Kyle is charged over his holding Ioki at gunpoint, Ioki tries to speak on Kyle's behalf in court, but the judge throws out Ioki's offer of testimony. Ioki pleads with Kyle to speak up on his own behalf, but Kyle silently refuses; it's a testimony to Keith Coogan's performance that he gets across without words that he's had more than enough of Harry Ioki's 'help'. Then there's Lisa Burbank, in "In The Name of Love"; she's an outcast at school because of her uncool image, plus rumors that her father's a criminal—which she fiercely denies. But when she's visiting her father at his business warehouse, it's raided by the FBI & police—and she recognises one of the officers in the raid as the new kid at school... the cute guy who became her first friend in years, and who she even asked to have sex with her! Then undeniable proof is found that the father she's so loyally defended is a drug smuggler, and very likely guilty of everything he's been accused of (and the viewer knows that he's guilty of at least one murder)... and the only person willing to comfort her is said undercover cop, who pulls her into a tear-stained Cool-Down Hug as her father is led away in handcuffs. and Mac borders on Woobie territory in this ep, himself. 'Persuaded' by the FBI into taking this particular undercover assignment, at the same time he's trying very hard to reconcile with his visiting ex-lover, Samantha. Mac feels uneasy about targeting Lisa to get to her father right from the start, and becomes even more so as the ep progresses, because Lisa really is a nice girl who he honestly likes. But Lisa runs into Mac attending a business function with Samantha as her date. Lisa throws a fit, which not only blows his cover, but brings down criticism from the FBI. While he manages a last-ditch idea to justify a raid of Burbank's warehouse, he has to watch Lisa, who he's genuinely grown fond of, becoming more and more upset. After Burbank is arrested, he comes home to find his ex packing her bags; she's decided that she can't deal with his career.

21 Jump Street / int_c335b9ec	comment	Irony: Johnny Depp signed onto the show mainly because he wanted to work with Frederic Forrest, the actor playing Captain Jenko. But Jenko was killed off after just 6 episodes, and Depp was stuck on the show (to his increasingly vocal discontent) until the end of Season 4.

21 Jump Street / int_c33ba0a8	comment	This is character's Tom Hanson's sentiment during much of Season 4. Following his having experienced what it's like being in a Juvenile Prison in Season 3; having been wrongfully sentenced for a murder he didn't commit; and watching someone he arrested get capital punishment, Tom gets extremely cynical about police work. During Season 4 he keeps mentioning wanting to quit being a cop, and at the end of Season 4, he seems to have finally done that, since he disappears.

Hanson is wrongly convicted and sent to prison for a murder he didn't commit and Ioki is in coma and on the brink of death after being shot. Also, Booker and Penhall have fallen out with each other over the former's arresting Hanson, and the latter's lying during testimony in court.

21 Jump Street / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: A lot of episodes are named after, or based on '50s to '70s classic songs — Things We Said Today (The Beatles), Chapel Of Love (The Dixie Cups), School's Out (Alice Cooper), Woolly Bull(ies) (Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs), Stand By Your Man (Tammy Wynette), (Re)search and Destroy (Iggy and the Stooges), Awomp-Bomb-Aloobomb, Aloop Bamboom (Little Richard's "Tutti Frutti"). There are also several examples of 1980s songs being used as inspiration for episode titles — Tunnel of Love (Bruce Springsteen), What About Love (Heart), In the Name of Love (U2) and (My) Future's So Bright I Gotta Wear Shades (Timbuk 3). Although the song came out a few years after the episode, Loc'd Out ("Locked Out") was one of the first international hits for legendary Australian music group Crowded House.

21 Jump Street / int_c76b215e	comment	Bait-and-Switch Credits: Peter DeLuise mentions in his commentary track for one of the episodes of the first season: the credits feature a bunch of gunplay and a car flipping over; however, the series mostly is about undercover work and centers around sedate dialog-driven scenes. The car flipping over was one of the most expensive scenes shot for the series, and was really the only one of its kind.

21 Jump Street / int_ca95473c	comment	Series Continuity Error: "Things We Said Today" has a minor one, at least if episodes are assumed to be set in the same year they aired. A flashback to the day of the Challenger Explosion in January 1986 shows Ioki working a case and the Jump Street squad commenting on Captain Fuller as if he were still new to the squad. The first episode of the series aired in April 1987; Captain Jenko was still in charge at that point and Hanson was just joining the squad.

21 Jump Street / int_cd70c3dc	type	CorruptCop
21 Jump Street / int_cd70c3dc	comment	Corrupt Cop: Penhall comes across a group of these near the end of Season 4, when he's temporarily assigned back to uniform; the only innocent member of the group, besides Doug himself, is the rookie. When Penhall turns them in, he recruits said rookie into Jump Street. Dean Garrett was the show's first attempt at a Suspiciously Similar Substitute for Hanson; he sticks around several episodes at the murky end of Season 4 / beginning of Season 5 before disappearing, only to be Back for the Dead halfway through Season 5. Part of Tony "Mac" McCann's backstory; he wasn't one, but knew a group of cops who were. He'd decided to keep his head down and stay out of the mess, but instead he was shot by one of the group, who thought he was going to inform on them. Afterwards, he was metaphorically run out of town and into Jump Street. Suverted for Booker. In the 1st episode he appears in, he physically bullies high school students as well as fellow undercover cops, and he acts racist, leading Hanson (and at first, the audience) to believe Booker is a Corrupt Cop. Turns out that Booker is an Internal Affairs officer though, so he was playing that role to provoke the Jump Street team. He ends up joining the Jump Street team by the end of the episode, and isn't hinted as being a corrupt cop again during the rest of his appearances]. "Loc'd Out" / "Draw the Line": A cop is into illegal weapon trade. Even worse, he murders his own partner, and then deliberately lies in court to frame Hanson, another cop, for the murder so Hanson goes to prison.

Afterwards, Judy feels awkward about it and then accuses Doug of deliberately having tried to seduce her—her reasoning being "you had a condom with you"—which might make her a hypocrite note Keep in mind that this happened at a time Aids was still a death sentence, and that Judy had already unintentionally gotten pregnant once before at 17., but Doug's answer to that doesn't help his case: he blurts out that he always has condoms with him "just like you always have a spare tire in your car in case your car breaks down". Causing Judy to answer "O great, so I am a road accident?!"

21 Jump Street / int_e13cafe	comment	Office Romance: Downplayed with Hanson and Jackie. He's a cop and she's a D.A., so they don't literally share the same office, but they often work on the same cases, thus knowing each other from work. Indirectly, they meet because their work overlaps (Penhall works with her, and is the one who sets them up); they also bicker about their common work environment (ep. Blue Flue), and work eventually is what breaks their relationship (Hanson confidentially tells her something about a police case, but she tells the mayor, whom she works with as a D.A., leading to the case being dismissed; Hanson can't forgive her for that).
