On this day May 28, 1986, the final episode of T.J. Hooker aired, ending a five season run that brought high speed chases and street level crime fighting to television screens across America. Starring William Shatner as veteran cop Sergeant T.J. Hooker, the show combined action, drama, and tough moral lessons with a gritty police procedural style.
The series originally aired on ABC from 1982 to 1985 before moving to CBS for its final season. Heather Locklear joined the cast in season 2 as Officer Stacy Sheridan and quickly became a fan favorite alongside Adrian Zmed and James Darren.
T.J. Hooker became known for its blend of character driven drama and intense stunt work, with Shatner doing many of his own chase scenes and fight sequences.
Fun fact: Heather Locklear was starring on Dynasty at the same time she appeared on T.J. Hooker, making her one of the busiest stars on TV during the mid 80s.
