21 Jump Street Jumps to the Big Screen—What Have the Original Cast Members Been up To?
Although the big-screen version 21 Jump Street (and sequel 22 Jump Street) is going for comedy, the original Fox series was more dramatic. If you've forgotten, or never saw it, you can watch the original 21 Jump Street online for free via Hulu. It's all very '80s—the clothes, the hair, the drug dealers that look like extras from a Michael Jackson video. The show, which debuted 27 years ago as the first hour-long series on the fledgling Fox Network, comes across as a mixture of after-school special, music video, and character-driven drama, with plenty of mild humor thrown in. We all know what happened to some of the original Jump Street cast, such as Holly Robinson Peete, and Mr. Johnny Depp. But what about the rest of the squad? Read on to find out! By Brett Singer

Holly Robinson Peete as Officer Judy Hoffs in 21 Jump Street, 1987
The future wife of Rodney Peete went by Holly Robinson during her Jump Street days. (She wasn’t married yet. Duh.) Her character, Officer Judy Hoffs, was well-rounded and written to be smart as well as attractive. She appeared in every episode of the series and sang the incredibly catchy theme song. (Warning: If you click this link you will not be able to get the song out of your head for several days. “Jump! Down on Jump Street…”)
