Variety is reporting that the 1980s series T. J. Hooker is being adapted as an action comedy for the big screen. The series, which debuted as a mid-season replacement on ABC in 1982, aired a total of 5 seasons, the first 2 of which are currently available on DVD (T. J. Hooker, Seasons 1 and 2.)
The series starred William Shatner as the titular character, a homicide detective who returns to an officer beat after his partner is killed. He is assigned to fast-track recruits to get them patrolling the streets. These rookie cops include Vince Romano (Adrian Zmed), Jim Corrigan (James Darren), and Stacy Sheriden (Heather Locklear); the latter two joined the cast in the second season. Richard Herd played Hooker's captain, Dennis Sheriden. Series creator Rick Husky will produce the film.
According to the article, the story will focus on the relationship between Hooker and his father. No actors have been cast for the film.
Full episodes of the first half-season of T. J. Hooker are available (as of the date of this post) on Hulu.com. Watch the series pilot below:
