When will they release this one on DVD? You'd think with Johnny Depp being the star of this show it would be out on DVD. This show featured a lot of popular music at the time and it would probably be expensive to get the rights to put it all on DVD. Glad I taped episodes off of FX when I did because no one seems interested in airing Jump Street. No one seems to mention this classic on these boards very often. It was one of Fox's original shows back in 1987. If anyone knows something about this show coming to DVD or why it may not be please let me know.

Still holding out for Miami Vice on DVD some day though.

I just saw one of the seasons of 21 Jump Street in Suncoast the other day. I am glad they are bring it back. Johnny Depp was great in this show. (cause I like anything he is in!)

Mr. Television · 03-26-2005, 01:08 PM

This show rocked. I didn't get to see a lot of it until FX aired it because I didn't get FOX until its final season. You'd think it would be airing somewhere.

I used to watch it in the 80s, and was one of my all-time favs! I just got the season 1 dvd and am waiting for the 2nd to be delivered. Season 3 comes out in August. If you get the chance pick them up! They're great!

Does anyone know the name of the actor in the first two episodes that was the kid they sent to prison? Is he still acting??? I thought he was a great bad guy.

Less than 2 years after your post, aren't you happy? Both 21 Jump Street and Miami Vice are on dvd. Now if only you'd have that affect on Fame.

Reginald T. Dorsey played Tyrell "Waxer" Thompson- he appeared in the pilot and also a Season 2 episode "You Ought to Be in Prison"

Apparently he has acted very sparingly:

and is also a cowboy:

I wish I had that affect on Fame and Hill Street Blues and St. Elsewhere and New York Undercover. . . .

Oh well, they'll all be released eventually. At least we're finally getting The White Shadow on DVD
