21 Jump Street is about a group of under-age looking cops who go undercover at high schools to catch young criminals before they become older, more dangerous criminals. In later seasons, the team went less and less undercover on high schools, and the plots focused more on the cops' personal lives.

THEME SONG:

The theme song was written by Liam Sternberg and sung by Holly Robinson - with backup vocals by Johnny Depp and Peter Deluise. The lyrics were:

We never thought we'd find a place where we belong.
Don't have to stand alone, we'll never let you fall.
Don't need permission to decide what you believe.

I said jump, down on Jump Street.
I said jump, down on Jump Street.

Your friends will be there when your back is to the wall.
You'll find you'll need us cause there's no one else to call.
When it was hopeless a decision is what you need.

You'd better be ready to, be ready to jump.
21 Jump Street.

FILMING LOCATION:

The series was filmed on location throughout Vancouver, BC, Canada.less «

  Was it ever revealed what Hanson did after leaving Jump Street?  Anything at all?

  Nornally I'd be happy to download the eps but it looks like the only ones around are DVD rips, and since they're raped of the original music, I'm not gonna touch them. If it is on TV where you are and you ripped the episodes and released them so we could watch them the way they're meant to be watched, YOU'D BE A GOD! Oh well, I'm sure it be back on TV on a channel I have sooner or later. less «

  Okay, I haven't seen the show's last season in ages, but I do know there were major major changes in the cast & style of the show after's it's switch from Fox to Syndication. So for the ones out there that know, if you could redo Season 5 *reasonably*, what would you have done? Keep in mind, you get NO Johnny Depp guest appearence. He's gone, ain't coming back. Although I don't remember the character of 'Mac', nor do I remember Joey Penhall or Garrett. But as a fan, who really is in all entirity, viewing the series for the first time, 'fully', I can say what i'd like to see, being I can see the horizon ahead. First of all, I don't see why we had to loose Ioki. Dustin Nguyen was NOT Johnny Depp, and was not breaking into mainstream A-lister films at that time, like Depp was. So I don't see why we had to loose him at all. I would've liked to have seen Ioki back in Season 5. Second, why not have Booker return? Same reason as Dustin Nguyen, Richard Grieco was not hitting the big time at that time (nor did he ever). So being his spinoff "Booker" was canceled by Fox after only one season, why not bring Booker back to "Jump St."? From what I saw in the Season 3 episodes, Booker could EASILY fill the shoes of Hanson, and be the leader for the show. Why not bring back a familiar face to be the 'new guy' in lead, and have Booker back? Third, I don't know if the syndicated season was just an attempt by Cannell to 'juice' the syndication package for the show for syndicators with more episodes on top of the Fox run of the show, or Cannell was actually trying to switch the show over to syndication full-time, and keep it going. Personally, I think if the latter is the case, and Booker had been brought back, we might have saw a 6th or even a 7th Season, before the show's demise. But if Cannell was trying to keep the show going, I can understand the show wrapping before Cannell knew it was going to be canceled, and we wouldn't get a final episode. But if Cannell knew this additional season was all we were going to get, then why didn't we get a true series finale? And lastly, with these changes, do you think it would've kept the show going strong, maybe not for a 6th Season, but would've at least made the 5th Season, better in the eyes of fans?less «

  An 80's show that has stood the tall for so many years after its original air dates. hide « show »

  I loved this show growing up, being able to watch this series when it was fresh on the air was awesome. Johnny Depp had shown great potential as an actor, stemming all the way back to his debut in Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street(1984). Here Depp's acting ability was greatly shown, since his character is always undercover as a new character. Depp has even said that he enjoyed his time on the series and that it was a great way to expand his acting chops and when you watch the series you see this. Unfortunately the series did rely a lot on Depp's character and when he left at the end of Season 4, the rating's declined. Peter Deluise was always a fun character to watch, because he started off as a tough guy and grew into a very responsible character, since his last appearance saw him leaving Jump Street so he was alive for his adopted son. That shows a great deal of evolution from a character. But it was still great to see his character of Doug Penhall and Johnny Depp's character of Tom Hanson create the infamous "McQuaid Brothers"
  The rest of the cast is great, mostly noting Holly Robinson as Judy Hoffs, Steve Williams as Captain Fuller and Dustin Nguyen as Harry Ioki. Top rated series that spawned an equally good show that was cut short called Booker, starring Richard Grieko as Booker(stemming from his character in Season 3).

  An excellent show with the perfect cast I can't picture any one else playing the roles of the jump street team, when Fuller replaced Jenk I thought it wouldn't be the same but it was just as good in its own right hide « show »

  As a massive Johnny Depp fan I found 21 Jump Street after its high status and being from the uk I think being a Johnny Depp fan was the only way I would have found it but this show is awesome, The old 80's police cars and the way the guys go undercover, you can always tell when there about to pull out there badges but its hilarious just watching the look on the bad guys faces. In the pilot when depp is assigned to the street team you kind of feel sorry for him in a strange way but in this I think you can see all the reasons Johnny Depp was right for Tom Hanson

  I love this show, it rocks. hide « show »

  I love this show. The characters were absolutely brilliant and the storylines were great. I've only ever seen it on DVD, being a Johnny fan I think I was obliged to buy it, very glad I did and it has started a kind of obsession with the show. Everybodies performances were amazing too. Johnny and Peter especially. I don't understand why this is never on English TV, as I think it would be enjoyable. This is a really great show, and I am quite upset that it ended like it did, it could have stayed on another series.. well if the characters stayed on that long.

  9.4 Superb

  A group of young looking under cover cops go undercover at schools to stop petty crimes from escalating. hide « show »

  Who cancelled it??? I love this show!! Tons of action amd romance!! Some episodes are boring, but the rest are awesome! The charactors have such great chemistry with each other!!! I do not like the constant cast change though. Season 1-4s cast was great, but they kept swithching it up, which proved confusing. But hey, I do love the younger generation criminals! It shows that teens are bad people to!! The McQuaid brothers are awesome,they totally make me LOL! I have this thing against Jenko. He slightly annoys me, bu Captain Fuller is to serious. Iwish they could find a happy medium!!

  9.3 Superb

  A show of the past that is still loved by the teenagers of the 21st century starring hottie superstar-Johnny Depp hide « show »

  The show is amazing, a major Johnny Depp fan I received 21 Jump Street for my birthday off my step father and instantly fell in love with the 80's hit show. It taught alot of teenagers about American society with the concept of the show using prime issues of society and trying to get kids to do the right thing. 21 Jump Street was the address of a chapel which was HQ for an undercover cop station where selected officers went undercover in teenage high schools and busting teenage crime. Heart throb Johnny Depp was part of the team and this was the start of his career, encompasses different genres and highly recommended for anyone.
