It was produced by the studio of Stephen J. Cannell Productions (which also produced The A-Team and The Rockford Files). The show was an early hit for the fledgling Fox Network, especially in the important teen demographic. Some speculate that it was Johnny Depp's exit that caused the program to be cancelled by Fox after the fourth season though Peter DeLuise in his DVD commentary said that Barry Diller of Fox Network saw that The Simpsons were getting a twenty share rating and said that Fox was now a twenty share rating network so 21 Jump Street was dropped. The final season aired in first-run syndication on local Fox affiliates. It was later completed in rerun syndication on Fox's FX cable network from 1996 to 1998 and was produced in association with and distributed by Twentieth Century Fox Television.

Plot

The show is about a group of young cops whose youthful appearances enabled them to work undercover in both high schools and sometimes colleges to catch troubled youths. The show covered typical plots of its day, including hate crimes, drug abuse, racism, homophobia, AIDS, drinking, and sexual promiscuity. Similarly, each problem was often solved by the end of the hour long show, giving an implicit moral about the impact of a particular activity.

Season 4 was the last season to air on the Fox Network. In commentary on the Season 5 DVD set, Peter Deluise said that Fox had decided to cancel the show after Season 4 because the ratings had fallen below a set limit. Following this season, Johnny Depp and Dustin Nguyen left the show. It was never explained where Officers Hanson or Ioki went, or why they were no longer with the Jump Street Unit. The Booker spin-off crossover episode, "Deals and Wheels Part One", is included with 21 Jump Street's syndication package, and is also included on the 4th Season DVD set. A spin-off (or spinoff) is a new organization or entity formed by a split from a larger one such as a new company formed from a university research group. ... Booker was an hour long television drama starring Richard Grieco. ...

Officer Dean Garrett (David Barry Gray) makes his first appearance in "Everyday is Christmas." As it became harder for the original cast members to plausibly pass as high school students, his character and Officer Kati Rocky (Alexandra Powers) were intended to be "youthful" replacements, so the show could maintain its original premise of younger looking cops posing as high school students, while still allowing the older cast a meaningful role on the show.

During this season, Michael Bendetti joined the cast as Officer Anthony "Mac" McCann. Michael DeLuise also joined the cast as Joey Penhall, Doug Penhall's younger brother. Peter DeLuise was credited as a Special Guest Star until he left the show in December 1990.

Both Doug and Joey Penhall were written off the show before the season was completed. Peter DeLuise said during his commentary on the Season 5 DVD Set that he saw no future for the show, so he decided to leave before it folded with the agreement that he direct two episodes and play in (at least) seven episodes. In the show, Doug Penhall is shot in the line of duty, and after facing his own mortality, decides to leave the force to care for his adopted son, Clavo. As Joey Penhall joined the Jump Street Unit to get closer to his brother, his reason for being at Jump Street no longer existed. His character was written out a few episodes later as moving away to be near his brother.

Officer Kati Rocky (Alexandra Powers) is introduced in the first episode of the season, "Tunnel of Love." This episode, along with "Back to School" mark the last appearances of Officer Rocky and Officer Garrett, despite the plotlines suggesting that both characters are going to join the main cast. These episodes were both filmed during the Fourth Season and held over. Neither actor was asked back for the Fifth Season, and their characters are not mentioned again after their initial appearances.

DVD Releases

Richard Greico appears prominently on the Fourth Season DVD cover

IDT's Anchor Bay Entertainment has released all 5 seasons of the TV series on DVD in Region 1. The criticism on the DVD releases has been the substitution of soundtrack music from that used on the original episodes, as that the music originally used was often notably linked to the themes of each episode.

Further, the Fourth and Fifth Season set DVD covers have been said to be misleading.^{[citation needed]} Richard Greico appears prominently on the cover of the Fourth Season DVD set, yet his only appearance during that season was as part of a 21 Jump Street/Booker cross-over episode.

Johnny Depp appears on the Fifth Season DVD cover, despite not appearing in that year

The issue with the Fifth Season DVD release is that the Fourth Season episode "Blackout," which was Johnny Depp's last episode, was placed on the Fifth Season DVD set. This fact, along with Johnny Depp's prominent appearance on the cover of the Fifth Season DVD set, has been labeled by some fans as misleading^{[citation needed]} because it gives the impression that Johnny Depp took part in the Fifth Season of the show, when in fact, he did not.

• Captain Jenko, played by Frederic Forrest, left the show after the fifth episode of the first season. Peter DeLuise cited creative differences between Forrest and the show's writers as the primary reason he was killed off in the show's seventh episode.
• In his commentary on the DVD release of Season 5, Episode 10: "Number One with a Bullet" which he directed, Peter Deluise said that his younger brother David is in the show at the start, donning the bullet proof vest. The inside courtroom set used in the episode was originally built for the Jodie Foster film, The Accused.
• As part of his DVD commentary, Peter DeLuise said that he expected to be in big demand like Johnny Depp and that his movie career would take off after he left 21 Jump Street. However, this did not happen and he found himself out of work much of the time with some directing jobs in low budget movies before finally getting a job directing Stargate SG-1. On reflection, Peter said he wished that he had stayed with the show until the end, rather than leaving midway through Season 5.
• On the show, Jenko is killed in a freak drunk driving accident. However, because he often ad-libbed his lines, the writers considered having him shot in the throat and leaving him to die a slow painful death where he would be unable to speak for an entire episode.
• The character of Officer H.T. "Harry" Ioki was revealed in the episode "Christmas in Saigon" to actually be named Vinh Van Tran, and to be a Vietnamese refugee, not from Japan as he had been claiming. There is a hearing about whether or not he will be suspended for fraud, and the hearing determines that he is allowed to stay on the force.
• In the episode: "Best Years of Your Life" which deals with suicide in young people, Doug Penhall reveals that his alcoholic mother killed herself when he was six and that he had tried to kill himself when he was eight. An explanation for his quirky sense of humour.
• It is explained in the show that Hanson's classic Mustang belonged to his father, who was killed in the line of duty as a police officer. However, after Hanson leaves, Mac is now seen driving the same car without any explanation as to why.
• In the later seasons, Doug Penhall adopted a boy named Clavo who was supposed to be from El Salvador. However, Clavo was played by a native American and had to be coached in a Spanish accent since he was supposed to have come from El Salvador (the show supposedly filmed in El Salvador was actually filmed in Miami).
• The theme tune was sung by Holly Robinson. She had a minor singing career before starring in the show and Cannell graciously let her try a number of different theme songs, before picking the one that was eventually used. Johnny Depp and Peter DeLuise also chimed in with the word "Jump" in the song.
• There is a song on the multi-platinum Murder Was The Case soundtrack called "21 Jumpstreet". It is performed by Snoop Dogg and Tray Deee.
• A film adaptation of "21 Jump Street" has been in the works for several years, and at one point Jennifer Love Hewitt was attached to the project, but it seems unlikely it will go ahead.
• It was formerly aired on GMA-7 in the Philippines.
• In later opening sequences, Peter DeLuise's character(Doug Penhall) is shown standing in front of a oversized driver's license which says "Beautiful Evergreen State";even the license plates on all vehicles say this, even though they are identical to currently-issued British Columbia plates.
• "Beautiful Evergreen State" is the fictional slogan for the state that the police statiion/chapel is in, even though Washington State's official tourism slogan is simply "The Evergreen State".
