ShatToup has analyzed Hooker from the perspective of an actor, who wears a bad rug, playing a cop. Instead, what if we view Shatner's role as an actor, playing a cop, who wears a bad rug?<br />From this perspective, TJ Hooker becomes a master class in Method acting and channels all toupological events - and hood dives - into Hooker's character development.Deaver G.

With the piece, however, Shatner has become, to borrow a Batman quote, "more than a man." He has transcended all media - books, TV, music, even videogames. All of this was accomplished because the lure of the toupee kept drawing us, the audience, back. <br /><br />Demands for Shatner to lose the toupee have been ignored. In the Comedy Central Roast, Jeff Ross says, "Have mercy Shatner, hang up the hairpiece!" Shatner just looks at him and smiles, without even a toup-scratch.

After the performance Shatner barged into the guy's dressing room and tore off his blond wig. Ironically the bad guy's wig looked more natural than the Shat's in the scene - I think the bad guy was wearing a lacefront.
