Booker

that TV series was on my opinion very funny to watch, it was like an urban "magnum" relooked with a neat photography. the booker character was cool and always managed to squeeze some one-liners in the middle of a very dangerous scene,which was really funny.i spent some good times watching it.it was neat and had no high ambitions,it fulfilled its purposes well.

I've never seen the show, as I was only one it premiered. But I've been watching the DVD's of 21 Jump Street, and I love this character! In my opinion, he was way more entertaining than Johnny Depp, and just as good-looking. His personality and background had more depth. I was so excited when I heard he had his own show, even though it was short-lived. Many times shows like this, that are little different or quirky, people just don't get at first. So they get canceled before their time. They don't realize until too late what a great thing they had! Yes Johnny Depp is more successful now, but if this show had lasted longer, who know's where Richard Grieco might be! Anyway, I would really like to see this released in the US soon. PLEASE!

I personally liked the Booker series. Richard Grieco had a good shot at becoming a high profile star back then. He was on the cover of multiple magazines. He made black leather jackets all the rage. He inspired hair styles and, to me, he made Harley Davidsons cooler than crotch rockets amongst younger motorcycle riders. It's a shame the show didn't reach the fame of 21 Jumpstreet. I know the show could have matured had the network given it more time to evolve. The addition of Lori Petty was a plus. I've seen what I consider less quality shows available on DVD box sets and every once in a while I look to see if Booker has been released. I hope that It eventually does.

I agree with 'csxmph'. I really liked this series. Yeah, it's goofy and yeah, it's old but it was perfect for it's time. I'd buy it if it came out. If I were completely honest, I'd say that I'd LOVE it if it came out. I remember it was a little dark, a lot rebellious and simmered with hostility. It was Jumpstreet, juiced up and in a nice car. RG was 'hot in the city' in the way that only a bad boy can be. Common girls.. you know what I'm talking about! Classic - who wouldn't want to see that? I'm telling you - it's timeless. A good episode (from the top of my head) was 'Somebody Stole Lucille'. Bits and pieces come to mind from other episodes but nothing definite enough to quote. Looks like I'd better dust off those old VHS and go through them again. As Molly M would say... 'Do yourself a favour..'

Though apparently nobody picked it. (Get it? HAHAHA!)

And this awful show should have starred the chubby actor who played the character Booger in "Revenge of the Nerds" instead of the long-since-forgotten nobody: Richard Grieco. Though some young girls thought Grieco was good looking, most adults (and all men) thought he was kinda' funny looking, like the brightly colored backside of a baboon. And he couldn't act worth squat.

This show was a stupid, boring, cliche-filled waste of an entire season of airtime. It should have been canceled as soon as some dummy said, "Hey, let's make a new show about a detective in L. A. who wears earrings and a leather jackets, defies authority, works alone because a partner would only slow him down, and who looks kinda' pretty and androgynous, so he appeals to both men and women. We'll throw in all the usual cliches and t'll be completely unoriginal", which in Hollywood is a much revered thing. But they made the mistake of casting Richard Grieco, who was at the beginning of an almost-career, which ended up petering out quickly before making a near comeback at its peak in "A Night at the Roxbury". His acting in that movie was wooden and unbelievable, even though he was playing a parody of himself.

For all those who claim this Booker character was smart and cool, he was only as smart and cool as the writers wanted him to be. And nobody bought into it except for a total of about six confused young women who are clamoring for this silly show on DVD.
