The only episode of this show I specifically remember seeing as a kid. Otherwise, I remember seeing that closing-credits silhouette about a million times.
It involved an underage cop killer who, I suppose, thought he could get away with anything. Got his comeuppance at the end when TJ revealed that he "turned 18 the day before yesterday", I suppose before he killed another cop I guess.
This episode is:
THE EMPTY GUN
Episode Number 8
First Aired October 16, 1982
Production Code 181615
Writer Paul Savage
Director Cliff Bole
Also, can anyone fill me in on the episode where Hooker nearly shoots a little boy with a gun in a scrap yard, when he sees the silhouette?
And the one with a massive car chase, ending in a charge over a rail line as a train comes, and the crims get over a swing bridge as it lifts?
And the one where the scum punks drive a car out of a loading bay and through the side of a reversing lorry?
Great stuff!!
Never mind all that! I find the best episode was "Vengeance is Mine" with long-time collaborator Leonard Nimoy. And the little in-joke where Hooker saves his life at the beginning of the show!
shareAnother interesting fact of this episode is that you'll get to see a VERY YOUNG David James Elliott (Lt/LCDR/CDR/CAPT Rabb of JAG). It was one of his first guest appearances on network television...(neat huh)
