Currently the episodes are available for streaming on [http://www.youtube.com/show?p=Q6PCTiUMlw8&s=1 Youtube]--unfortunately [[Clumsy Copyright Censorship|without the original soundtrack]].
 
A very well received [[21 Jump Street (Filmfilm)|film adaptation]] has been released, starring [[Superbad|Jonah Hill]] (who also co-wrote the script), [[G.I. Joe: theThe Rise of Cobra|Channing]] [[Step Up|Tatum]], [[The United States of Tara|Brie Larson]], and [[Ice Cube]]. [[Johnny Depp]] and Peter DeLuise appear in cameos as their original-series characters, Tom Hanson and Doug Penhall. Holly Robinson Peete also returned as Judy Hoffs, in a slightly more substantial role.
 
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.)
{{tropelist}}
* [[Adults Dressed Asas 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.
* [[Artistic License History]]: Ioki is hiding the fact that he is Vietnamese, supposedly to avoid the ire of colleagues who may have fought in the Vietnam war. The strange thing is, Ioki would almost certainly be from (the former) South Vietnam, who were America's allies. (And even if he was from North Vietnam, his colleagues wouldn't know that.)
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: Booker wears these on occasion, when not sporting a [[Hell-Bent for Leather|leather jacket.]]
Line 30:
* [[Dirty Harriet]]: Judy joined the Jump Street program because it was the only way she'd be able to get any ''other'' type of assignment. Of course, this didn't mean that she didn't ''still'' get just such an assignment occasionally.
* [[Do-It-Yourself Theme Tune]]: The theme tune was performed by Holly Robinson who played Officer Judy Hoffs on the show (with the "JUMP!" shout provided by Johnny Depp and Peter DeLuise).
** Incidentally, this is one of the few [[Stephen J. Cannell]] shows where the theme tune was ''not'' written by Mike Post.
* [[Eighties Hair]]: A huge offender.
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: Young [[Johnny Depp]].
* [[FOXFox]]: ''21 Jump Street'' was the Fox Network's first drama, and aired on its premire night along with sitcoms ''[[Married... Withwith Children]]'', ''[[The Tracy Ullman Show]]'', ''Duet'' and ''Mr President''.
* [[Least-Common Pizza Topping]]: The episode "Gotta Finish the Riff"

Line 45:
* [[Schoolyard Bully All Grown Up]]:
** In the episode ''Woolly Bullies'', the main characters recount the bullies who have plagued them in their youth. When Doug Penhall recounts his particularly bitter memories of such a tormentor, a friend suggests he seek the bully out and confront him. However, when Penhall does just that by finding the bully's current home, he learns that the bully is now a pathetic unemployed loser with an unhappy marriage to a shrewish wife. Delighted at this turn of events, Penhall decides not to speak to him and returns home quietly gloating how he got the classic best revenge by living well.
** He even suffered a case of [[Threw My Bike Onon the Roof]].
* [[Shoo Out the New Guy]]: Booker, who is [[Cool People Rebel Against Authority|totally rad]] and [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold|a good guy deep down]], but is [[Badbutt|kinda dangerous]] and [[Cowboy Cop|plays by his own rules]]. Like, ''totally''.
* [[Stealth Sequel]]: [[21 Jump Street (Filmfilm)|The movie.]]
** {{spoiler|[[Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome]]}}: {{spoiler|Hanson and Penhall are shot up by One-Percenter bikers}}.
* [[Sixth Ranger]]: Richard Grieco's character, Dennis Booker, for one season. His character was then given his own short-lived spinoff.
* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: David Barry Gray's Dean Garrett replacing Johnny Depp's Tom Hanson.
* [[Teacher-Student Romance]]: Happens with [[Girl of the Week|almost distrubing frequency.]] It helps that Johnny Depp's character was in his [[Older Than They Look|mid-twenties]], not actually a student, and in the most [[Egregious|egregious]] example, met before he was actually assigned to her school.
* [[True Companions]]
* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: [[Johnny Depp|Johnny Depp's]] attraction to eyeliner didn't start with [[Pirates of the Caribbean|Captain Jack Sparrow]] - during his time on this show, he was undercover in drag in "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4bJr_gY2E0#t=4m34 In the Custody of a Clown]" and looked far too convincing.
