Line 3:
The 1980s version of ''[[The Mod Squad]]'', with a somewhat more believable premise
Here, it's about the cases of a special undercover police unit where young-looking police officers infiltrate schools to investigate youth-related crimes.
Line 14:
Now has a fan made sequel series, ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XspU4ZxHkw 21 Jump Street Rangers]'', which takes place years after the original team's adventures. (The series also adapts ''[[Tomica Hero Rescue Force]]'' for added points.)

* [[Adults Dressed as Children]]: More adults dressed as teenagers; the whole premise of the show is young looking police officers going undercover in high schools. Decades later, Depp would poke fun at the "fascist" nature of this premise.
Line 40 ⟶ 41:
* [[Older Than They Look]]: The show was entirely based around the premise of cops who looked young enough that they could go undercover as high school students.
** Which was pretty silly, and only sorta worked because of [[Dawson Casting]]. The actors standing next to ACTUAL high-schoolers would've looked hopelessly out of place.
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: The Prinicpal in the pilot episode seems like a no nonsense, [[Jerkass]] that doesn't like what he deems delinquents. Come part 2 after breaking up a knife fight between an undercover Hanson and his suspect, Waxer; he fearfully warns Hanson that Waxer may kill him if he keeps antagonizing him. Even though he didn't like Hanson, he didn't want to see what he thought was a new, naive teenager getting killed.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]] Penhall and Hanson, respectively.
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: In season 2, episode 12, Tom Hanson ([[Johnny Depp]]) wrestles a bear for a prize of $500. He ends up being tossed out of the ring about 3 seconds later.
Line 60 ⟶ 62:
