21 Jump Street is a police drama which ran on Fox from 1987 until 1990, and for a final season in syndication. It focused on officers who went undercover in high schools and the like. It loosely inspired the 2012 film comedy 21 Jump Street and its sequel 22 Jump Street (2014), both starring Jonah Hill.
