Product Description
Their Unforgettable Final Season Plus The Infamous ‘Blackout’ Episode Starring Johnny Depp It was the show that became a top-rated Fox sensation, made Johnny Depp an overnight star, and remains one of the coolest cultural phenomena of the ‘80s. And it all leads here, the undercover cops of Jump Street Chapel – Doug Penhall (Peter DeLuise), Judy Hoffs (Holly Robinson Peete), Captain Fuller (Steven Williams) and new rookie officers Joey Penhall (Michael DeLuise) and Tony ‘Mac’ McCann (Michael Bendetti) – are caught up in some of the most explosive action and drama in the show’s history! In addition, this collection contains three episodes filmed during Season 4 but aired during Season 5, including the still-controversial "Blackout" which features Johnny Depp’s final series appearance.

3.0 out of 5 stars Completely Depp-less season, February 1, 2006

By	tex42 - See all my reviews

It should first be noted that Johnny Depp is not a member of the cast of 21 Jump Street during the 5th Season. He left the show after the 4th season. The show was then cancelled by Fox and was produced for one more season in syndication. The only reason Depp was included on the cover of this season set was because "Blackout", a 4th Season episode, was held back from the 4th Season DVD Set for this one. So be forewarned when buying this set that Depp appears in only one episode, and following that he and Dustin Nguyen leave the show, followed soon after by Peter DeLuise. Only Holly Robinson and Steven Williams remain from the original cast. Michael DeLuise joins the cast for a bit as Joey Penhall and Michael Bendetti joins the cast as Tony "Mac" McCann. The formula of the show largely remains the same, though the show's production values descrease with the move to syndication, and the cutting of the budget per episode. This was not a bad season, as per usual with this series, some storylines were weaker than others, but overall the season is entertaining, with Holly Robinson being the focus of most of the episodes, especially after Peter DeLuise and Michael DeLuise leave. However, again let me just repeat that Johnny Depp appears in only one episode and buyers of this set should know that, so there is no confusion on this matter.

1.0 out of 5 stars GREED, GREED, GREED!!, April 12, 2006

By	Sheryl Marcy "deppfan306" (Glenside, PA USA) - See all my reviews

What a blatantly sleazy way to get Depp fans to buy this last season. What a marketing strategy! They must think the buying public is stupid! In spite of the one episode "Blackout" that Hanson is in (from season 4), I tried to watch the rest of the shows, and it felt like so much was missing. Ioki was gone too, and it just wasn't the same. They should have just renamed the show as a spinoff. Nope. Just wasn't the same.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cheap in more ways than one, March 21, 2006

By	KnightVoyager (Billings, MT USA) - See all my reviews

The biggest problem I have with season 5 is that ALL 4 of the other seasons were done on single-sided discs with nice cover art, and on this one, they took the cheap road out with double-sided discs, which are more prone to disc errors. BOOOOO! They should have held the consistency throughout the series rather than just slipshod this one together the way they did. It's nice that the series is complete, but they really should have done a much better job putting this set together.
