Hanson goes undercover to stop a big-time dealer named Ronnie Siebot, Hoffs is looking out for a girl who is a crack addict, and Penhall is out on the streets with his new partner, Adabo. At the conclusion, Penhall suspects his new partner may have murdered a crack dealer. This and part 2 are a couple my most favorite episodes.

EPISODE # 19 DON'T STRETCH THE RAINBOW. At an extremely racist High School, a black girl gets pregnant by her white boyfriend.

___________________________________________________________________________
EPISODE # 30 BROTHER HANSON AND THE MIRACLE OF RENNER'S POND. Hanson goes undercover to investigate the burning of some science books when a teacher refuses to teach evolution. If you have read all of my episode ratings so far, you will see that not one episode has gotten a low rating. Thats how much I love the show. This episode, however, stands out as one of my least favorite. The story line isn't very good, and there are times when it is just plain dull. RATING 2
___________________________________________________________________________
EPISODE # 31 RAISING MARIJUANA. Hoffs goes undercover to bust a drug ring with Penhall and Ioki's help. Christian Clemenson played the ring leader in this one, and is probably best known for his role as Socrates in The Adventures of Brisco County Junior. RATING 3 1/2

EPISODE # 33 CORY AND DEAN GOT MARRIED. Hoffs and Penhall are escorting a young girl (who was connected to her father's murder) to her home town. Little do they know that they are being pursued by her seemingly crazy boyfriend. This was yet another of the many 21 Jump Street classics. RATING 5

EPISODE # 34 SCHOOL'S OUT. Summer is right around the corner, and the odds of the Jump Street program being re-opened when school starts again are slim.
