  • A change that dissapointed but proved to improve and evolve the series

    When the episode started I wondered what was going on, I hadnt read about Jenko's exit and was somewhat confused. The fact that Jenko was written out and Fuller was introduced gave the series new life. I loved Frederic Forrest as Jenko but his character seemed to be one that wouldnt really be able to go very far, When Fuller is introduced he almost fits into the stereotypical american police captain with the way he approaches the job. Hanson is hilarious undercover as geeky Tom, and so predictably blows his cover straight away when Reggie points the gun at the principal. A classic turning point in the series and an excellent episode.moreless

  • Exit Jenko, Enter Fuller a great transition between style of the series

    I love this episode, the character of Jenko was a fun character to have in the series, but in reality the show really picked up when his character was written out of the show. Captain Fuller, was played great by Steve Williams and gave the series a structure that Frederick Forrester's character didn't give. This first episode to feature this new character was equally as entertaining. Have Hanson and Hoffs entering into a school the day it is held up by a gang of students and seeing how Fuller interacts when his officers are put in danger was great. Definitely showed promise that the series would continue after the end of the season(when it was first aired). I'd give this a 6 out of 10 score.moreless

    This episode is 'pivotal,' because it deals at the beginning with Jenko's death and the new arrival of Captain Fuller. At the beginning I felt the episode was cheesy, oversentimental, and badly acted (an ongoing problem with the first season). However, things quickly turn interesting as Johnny Depp plays 'nerd' undercover, while Holly Robinson turns on the sex appeal as 'bad girl.' What ensues is a dangerous hostage situation, and Peter DeLuise has some fun undercover as 'pizza delivery boy/rescuer.'

  • This episode was just a little...boring.

    With the death of Jenko the 21 Jump Street team get a new captain - Adam Fuller. I personally was glad to see Jenko leave as I didn't really like his character, but Adam Fuller seemed to fit in much better.

    They go undercover in a high school and Tom gets caught right in the middle of it when a gang takes the principal hostage.

    While this episode did have a lot of good one liners, and even a couple of memorable scenes - it just wasn't up to the standard which the previous episodes were. Still you do need to watch it to fill in the gap about Jenko. Just not a favourite.moreless
