->''"Hey Ben. Get set to wear the blue."''

A monthly podcast in which two New Yorkers, Eric Szyszka (of Podcast/WeHateMovies) and Ben Worcester, have set themselves the task of watching every episode of the early 1980s Creator/WilliamShatner-starring cop show ''Series/TJHooker'' and recapping it while making as many jokes as possible.

* AccentuateTheNegative: Downplayed; the two genuinely do enjoy the show, but they're not shy about pointing out how hokey, cliched and reactionary it can be.
* AudienceAlienatingPremise: Often [[InUniverse discussed and joked about]]; the two frequently note that a podcast about an early 1980s cop show is quite possibly the ''last'' thing that would appeal to a twenty-first century internet audience.
* TheCameo: Eric's co-podcasters from Podcast/WeHateMovies (Andrew Jupin, Chris Cabin and Steve Sadjak) will occasionally drop by to discuss an episode.
* MemeticMolester: Our hosts are convinced that Officer Romano, Hooker's partner and the show's resident MrFanservice ladies man, is some kind of sex-offender based on how much time he spends hitting on any woman who enters his radius.
* RunningGag: Eric's bungling efforts to start the show with his devised CatchPhrase, as seen as the page quote.
* SelfDeprecatingHumor: The two hosts often joke about their podcast being the last thing that anyone on the internet could possibly be interested in and how it is consequently a massive waste of everyone's time.
* SpinOff: In-universe, Eric and Ben have come up with ''TJ Future'', which based on their telling appears to be a blending of the show, ''Film/TheTerminator'', ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' and ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd''.
