'''''Hooperman''''' is an American [[comedy-drama]] television series that aired on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] from September 23, 1987, to July 19, 1989. The show centered on the professional and personal life of [[San Francisco]] police Inspector Harry Hooperman, played by [[John Ritter]]. The series was created by [[Steven Bochco]] and [[Terry Louise Fisher]], who were the team responsible for creating ''[[L.A. Law]]''. Though not the first comedy drama, ''Hooperman'' was considered the vanguard of a new television genre when it premiered, and critics coined the term "[[dramedy]]" to describe it.<ref>{{cite book|last=Hyatt|first=Wesley|title=Television's Top 100|year=2012|publisher=McFarland|location=US|isbn=978-0-7864-4891-3|page=171|url=http://www.mcfarlandpub.com/book-2.php?id=978-0-7864-4891-3|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110326163815/http://www.mcfarlandpub.com/book-2.php?id=978-0-7864-4891-3|archive-date=2011-03-26}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last1=Kelley|first1=Bill|title=The Best And The Brightest Abc's Hooperman -- The Hands-down Winner Of The Best New Show Of The Year -- Introduces A New Format, ''dramedy,'' While Slap Maxwell Reintroduces Dabney Coleman.|url=http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1987-09-23/features/8703150300_1_hooperman-lewis-erlicht-brandon-stoddard|access-date=24 September 2017|work=Los Angeles Times|date=27 April 1988|archive-date=24 September 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170924095527/http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1987-09-23/features/8703150300_1_hooperman-lewis-erlicht-brandon-stoddard|url-status=dead}}</ref>

==Synopsis==
Ritter plays San Francisco police Inspector Harry Hooperman. In the first episode, Hooperman inherits the rundown apartment building he lives in when his elderly landlady is killed in a robbery. He also inherits her temperamental pet [[Jack Russell terrier]] named Bijoux. Due to the demands of his job as a police officer, he hires Susan Smith (played by [[Debrah Farentino]]) to be the building manager, and the pair become romantically involved throughout the first season.

Also starring on the show was Alix Elias as the cheerful and bubbly police dispatcher, Betty Bushkin; [[Barbara Bosson]] was Hooperman's divorced superior, Capt. Celeste "C.Z." Stern; Felton Perry as Harry's partner, Inspector Clarence McNeil; Clarence Felder as redneck inspector Boris "Bobo" Pritzger; [[Joseph Gian]] as Rick Silardi, a gay cop, and [[Sydney Walsh]] as officer Maureen "Mo" DeMott, his patrol partner who was intent on "saving" him from being gay by making unwanted passes.  [[Dan Lauria]] played Celeste's former husband, Lou Stern.

The theme music was composed by [[Mike Post]].

Guest stars in the series' 42-episode run included: [[Don Cheadle]], [[Kim Delaney]], [[Dennis Dugan]], [[Norman Fell]] (who worked with Ritter on ''[[The Stone Killer]]'' and ''[[Three's Company]]''), [[Miguel Ferrer]], [[Jack Gilford]], [[Mark Hamill]], [[Joanna Kerns]] (who did a guest spot on ''Three's Company''), [[Richard Kind]], [[Dan Lauria]], [[Jane Leeves]], [[Lorna Luft]], [[David Paymer]], [[Barbara Rush]], and [[Shannon Tweed]].

Except for a brief syndicated run on the [[FX Network]] in the mid 1990s, and the pilot rebroadcast on [[TV Land]] in 2003 following Ritter's death, the series has not been repeated.
