21 Jump Street

Another popular show done by Stephen Cannell.

I didn't watch this show much because I wasn't aware of it, but I'm sure many of you guys did. This show was filmed in Vancouver, and a lot of it was very close to my home at one of the highschools. This show had many rising stars that are big today.

How many of you remember this one? Definitely in my top 5 of the shows done by Cannell....

I didn't care for it. Teen undercover cops who look like models just wasn't my thing (even when I was a teen).

Having an unknown Johnny Depp in it was pretty cool, though.

I remember watching it from time to time. I liked it when I saw it, but never really cared enough to have to catch it.

I actually never knew it was shot in Van. What high school did they use?

Vancouver Technical School (Van Tech) was one of them. I know they used 1-2 more highschools in other district cities.

Oh yes, all the girls watched this show for Johnny, lol

The show was ok, but not my favorite. Just had to mention it as I like it when shows are filmed here.

Exactly my thoughts at the time. My sister (4 years younger) was a big fan thought.

Huge 21 Jump Street fan. It was fun, I was in high school and related to a lot of the stories and yes, a young Johnny Depp made it a perfect show for Sunday night viewing!

it was tough to trust anything on the new network at the time........it was ok in the beginning, but the melodrama soon got old.
