I look back at the Twilight Zone sometimes and remember that Captain Kirk could really act and not just play characters.
This is T. J. Hooker, this is Shatner playing Captain Kirk on earth in the 1980s. Don't sit down and think you are going to get the man that is paranoid to fly and sees a Gremlin on the wing, or a newlywed obsessed with a fortune telling machine in a cafe...
... This isn't that Shatner, this is Shatner playing Kirk as a cop in the 80s.
But, don't think it sucks either, because it does work in an over-the-top cartoonish sort of way, and that was what the show was meant to be. Serious and tongue in cheek at the same time.
For those of you my age, Hooker is Sledge Hammer! (1986) if Sledge Hammer! Didn't know it was a comedy.
And for entertainment value it works.
