It’s Saturday again.
I can’t help taking this little television theme along in my musical inspiration series.
Yes, I watched 21 Jump Street when I was teen. I loved it. Sure, Johnny Depp, was handsome and all, but the adventures, the crimes, the heroes and the villains were like candy to my imagination.
I wrote several episodes just for the fun of it.
When I watched this video on YouTube my husband looked over my shoulder and asked where on Earth I could find any interest in that. Nostalgia I replied.
Yes, nostalgia. A feeling of loss as well. I’m grown up now. As a teen the mind is flying more freely. As 21 Jump Street had finished episodes it was so easy to pick the characters and place them in my own stories, my own episodes. It didn’t matter if there were quality in what I wrote or in the original show. What mattered were my own imagination and where it took me.
I miss that.
Here it is: 21 Jump Street

According to: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092312/trivia, Holly Robinson sang the lead for that theme song, and Johnny Depp and Peter DeLuise were on background vocals. Holly went on to star in several other shows, and she is still married to an ex-NFL quarterback by the name of Rodney Peete.
You probably already know it, but Peter DeLuise is Dom DeLuise's son. He has been a producer/director for Sci Fi's Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis (I think) for the last several years.
Thank you for interesting information.
I only knew about the singers.
And we all knew the story of Johnny Depp, don't we :-)
This was also one of my fave show growing up. I liked Johnny Depp, but my fave was Peter Deluise. :)
Peter Deluise had such a nice smile. Like a big teddy bear.
