Hallo William
Ich bin ein Deutscher T.J. Hooker Fan. Es ist schade das die Folgen
von T.J.Hooker zu ende sind. Also Cäptain J.T. Kirk und T.J.
Hooker sind für mich die besten Schauspieler |

Hello Jim I have just spent a fair time searching thru all the
episodes looking for an episode about a punk rock band called
"pain" that I believe T J had a run in with in one of
the episodes please point me in the right direction,as i would
be greatful for any information.
|
| Sounds
like a terrific premise, given Hooker's preference for rockabilly,
but we must admit you've stumped us. Can any of you out there help
this person out? Send a message to info@tj-hooker.com. |

Whoa!
Although we're inclined to praise just about any Rex Smith vehicle
(especially "The Pirates of Penzance"), rating "Street
Hawk" above a masterpiece like T.J. Hooker is
preposterous. It's like trying to compare a Harlequin romance
to War & Peace.
What's
that? "Street Hawk" is available on video? Where's the
justice!

Subject: when is TJ hooker coming back on TV??
Dear
Staff: I'm a cop show fan. and I would like to know when is TJ
HOOKER coming back on television. It has been a long time since
I seen this show. I really think that William Shatner is cool
and Adrian Zmed really rocks!!!!! That is why I wish for it to
come back on the TV screen.
I
would love to see it back on TV real soon. Hopefully I'll see
it on either Cable networks, whether it'll be TNT, TBS, or TVland.
I hope to see LCPD POLICE DEPARTMENT go into action, because,
without TJ HOOKER...there isn't enough Police action.
|
| Yes,
William Shatner is cool. And Adrian Zmed does rock.
But what about the show's stance on moral values or victim's rights? |

Subject: Amazing website
I'm
still stunned by your riveting tribute to one of TV's great cop
shows and, especially, King Shat. I watched T.J. Hooker beginning
with its very first airing (the 90-minute pilot episode) and stayed
home on Sat. nights through most of high school to watch the show.
I didn't get to see the CBS episodes since my affiliate didn't
air the CBS Late Movie (it ran Hawaii Five-0 reruns instead).

With
all due respect to McGarrett and his crew of island-bound crimebusters:
what the HELL was your local CBS affiliate thinking?
OUR
APRIL FOOL'S PRANK
In
a year of remarkable accomplishments, the single item that generated
the most viewer mail had to be one that wasn't even real: our
April Fool's press release for
a fake T.J. Hooker reunion movie generated such ire and
bitter gaul that we were left dumbfounded. In fact, we received
so many nasty comments within 24 hours of its posting that we
decided to print a retraction later in the week.
Let's
face it, people, April Fool's is a time honored tradition, and
everyone from your local radio station's zany morning crew to
high-profile media outlets like ESPN have taken part in April
Fool's merriment. Do you send everyone who plays a harmless prank
on you hate mail? What follows is a selection of the best letters
we received....

Well,
I read your announcement on the new TJ Hooker reunion movie. After

today is-April Fool's Day!
Shame
on you for printing such a cruel joke! And I actually believed
it!
Anyway,
I really love the site and think you guys are doing a fantastic

No,
April Fool's jokes aren't old. They only happen once a

Hello
ang great respect to the creator of tj-hooker.com
I just want to say that your website is the work of a genius,
obviously inspired by another genius (the TJ). We're 2 French
fans of Hooker (though we both live in London) and never thought
that anyone could be as mental as us with him. Yes, I guess Hooker
is always great fun to watch...
|
| Yes,
Hooker is great fun to watch. And thank you for calling us
geniuses. However, we are merely doing a job we love, we have no
claims to a greater intellect than those around us merely because
we've devoted our lives to celebrating T.J. Hooker (but we
have more fun than most!). |

I've really enjoyed your TJ Hooker site.
I'm wondering if you've ever heard of anybody making Hooker character
skins for the game "The Sims"? I'd love to find
some. I don't have the skills to make them myself, unfortunately.
I doubt anyone has done it, but if they have I thought you might
know about it. :)
Anyway, thanks for all you and your team's hard work on the site. |
| We
always aim to please here at TJ-Hooker.com. This email inspired
us to follow through on a project that had been on the back burner

Hi,
I just spent 3 hours on your site it is a totally great site. I
was doing a websearch on TJ HOOKER and found little and then I found
you, Thanks for a GREAT site on this GREAT television show. Oh what
I would do to be able to see the series again, by chance you wouldnt
happen to have them would you? Every now and again one of the stations
on my satellite will show the pilot and I watch it, it makes me
yearn to see the episodes.
Thanks for a job well done. |

Subject: Question
Any
news on whether TJ Hooker will ever be rerun on a cable channel
again? I'm a big Shatner fan (active in the Bring Back Kirk campaign),
and I decided that I want to own every episode of TJ Hooker on
tape (having never seen the show but for a few reruns as a kid).
I want the complete TJ Hooker collection.
|
|
Don't
we all? With the proliferation of cable networks and syndication
services airing older television programs (TVLand, The National
Network, the Screen Gems Network), we're keeping our fingers crossed
that it's only a matter of time before our hero in blue returns
to the small screen.
Nevertheless,
we are more committed than ever to our NO HOOKER NO PEACE campaign
to get the show released on video or DVD. We don't want to settle
for cheap, pirated episodes that show up on eBay, so if you haven't
already done so, please sign our NO
HOOKER NO PEACE petition.

Subject: TJ Hooker and Ethics
Dear
4Adam30:
We
used your TJ Hooker site for our first-day-of-class discussion
on copyright. You have an interesting disclaimer at the bottom
of your site about how there is no intentional violation of copyright.
We basically discussed whether intention mattered and whether
you had violated copyright regardless of intention. (In case you
want to know what we think it's this: the copyright owner could
shut you down--along with thousands of other fan sites--but since
it's in their interests not to, they let you be.)

anything can help the young people of today learn about ethics,
it is T.J. Hooker. |

Subject: Hello from a broadcaster
in SF CA
Just
discovered your delightful site--I'm SO tickled that your crew
is doing it!
Longtime TJ fan...also equally appalled at the darned things...what
can I say, in a way, love of Bill's work in general is a guilty
pleasure. (It's)Amazing to me the way he kept going so hard in
the 90's and built himself into an even bigger star and money-earner
than I ever could have thought possible back in the day.
I
do a weekly half-hour public-access show here in SF, and I feature
something Bill-related every month or two, it seems. Recently
I found an old chunk of TJ on a videotape, that hadn't been
labeled to contain any-I didn't know I HAD any TJ on tape---I
was so excited (-Ha-ha-) that I ended up using a long clip of
it on a recent show, re-scoring the credit sequence, among other
things...
-Sounds
like just another wacko Shatner fan I suppose...I actually have
quite a background in music production (my band Big City
Orchestra has created numerous blasphemous Shatner projects in
performance and recordings) and the Bill hell just goes on and
on.
Anyway,
just wanted to let you know about the theme music from part one
of my mini-series "The Church Of Bill", which you might
enjoy, can be found on MP3.com, under: ROBO (DREW DOBBS). That
episode itself is a thing of beauty, all black and white
Bill footage, all pre-Trek, with an all-original score. Replete
with copyright infringing. I'd gladly trade you a copy of that
episode & sundry other info sometime, if you know of any TV
broadcasters on your end who'd like to trade episodes with pub.
access producers in other areas.
So,
thanks again for creating another one of those sites that's just
for those lucky folks who really need it--and those generations
to come who need to get hip to TJ.
PS---of course you remember VOICE OF THE PLANET .... my
God--wasn't THAT something ! We won't see the like of that again...

| Thanks
for the update! We look forward to catching your show the next time
we travel to San Francisco. Perhaps we could even arrange a walk-on? |

very classy and to say thank you. I partuculary admire your enthusiasm

If
there's one thing we can't get enough of here at TJ-Hooker.com,
it's viewer mail. The amount of email we receive is staggering,
so much that we can't possibly respond to it all in a timely
manner. But it's nice to know that the hard work we put
in to the site doesn't go unnoticed. It's the emails we receive,
both encouraging and discouraging, that inspire us to press
on with our mission of providing the world with the absolute
greatest source of T.J. Hooker information available
in any medium. Emails like the ones you'll find below give us
a chuckle, make us scratch our heads, or give us an idea for
a great new feature.
