Things To Note: This is part one of a two-part pilot. Hanson is already being primed to be the star of the show. The pilot had to be re-shot after it had been completed, because TPTB decided to recast Tom Hanson, replacing Jeff Yagher with the then-unknown Johnny Depp.

Episode Summary from The 21 Jump Street Episode Guide:

NOTE: Stop with this one if you don’t want spoilers.

Hanson gets assigned to the Jump Street unit, a special division of the police force which uses young cops to go undercover and stop juvenile crime, when his youthful appearance causes him to be underestimated while on patrol. His first case involves catching drug dealers.
