T.J. Lazer: lycra clad crimefighter of the future
"Wow! Can you do that, Dad?!"―Jimmy Murphy[src]
T.J. Lazer was a futuristic cop show in which the titular character performed a twirling move whenever he holstered his weapon. Alex Murphy copied the trick, partly to impress his son Jimmy, but also because he got "a kick out of it."[1]
Murphy's gun twirl managed to re-emerge when his remains were used to create the cyborg RoboCop. It was because of this that his partner Anne Lewis began to realize RoboCop's identity.[1]
T.J. Lazer later received a film entitled T.J. Lazer: Resurrection.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
T.J. Lazer is a parody of the real life television cop show T.J. Hooker, starring William Shatner. The novelization pokes fun at Shatner by saying Lazer has a "pot belly" and "badly designed toupee."
