HOOKER SOUNDCLIPS!
 Episode
2-11: "Terror at the Academy"
Hooker
and Romano must protect the Academy from a recruit named Turner, a Vietnam
vet who has a personal vendetta against cops. He takes the Academy hostage
by planting explosives in every building, then holds himself up on a
hill in the park next to the precinct, using the Academy's speaker system
to make his demands. Hooker and Romano don fatigues to ambush him. Will
they succeed? Will Romano survive to take new recruit Nichols (played
by Melody Anderson, better known as Dale Arden in the '80s remake of
Flash Gordon) out on a date? Will Hooker succeed in getting his
daughter Chrissy a frog costume for her school play?
