Johnny Kitties: Celebrating Johnny Depp in 21 Jump Street, Season 4 (1989—1990)
This weekly, hour-long drama about young-looking cops who go undercover in high schools to fight crime introduced me to Johnny. By the end of his four-season run with it, he had his eye on a brighter horizon, but having him show up in my living room every week was fantastic while it lasted. I loved this show, so a tribute to each season is included in the Johnny Kitties challenge.
Season 4: Johnny may have been ready to go, but he still put in great performances this season in some of the show's most memorable episodes.

Season 3: FOX casts a new heart throb, and the commercials advertising him annoy me. Then, Hanson goes to jail by the end of the season. I wonder how I'll get through the summer.
