"Tell him I want to do some business...gypsy business"

This is actually a pretty funny episode. I love TJ Hooker because of the horrible over-the-top acting, and 80s nostalgia and this episode did not disappoint. First off I believe they set a record for most times saying the word 'gypsy' in a 60 minute episode. I lost count around 226 times. This was your typical 70s/80s gypsy-centered tv episode that portrays them as untrusting and skeptical of anyone not a gypsy.

Tori Spelling plays a 10 year old that is somehow able to outsmart both criminals and police, even going as far as stealing an officer's revolver. Before she steals the gun she goes to church and prays to Saint Ann to bless her with enough money to buy a gun (to avenge her slain uncle). After she steals the gun she goes back to the church to thank Saint Ann for blessing her with the gun and asks to help her be brave so she can kill a man. I mean we all do this in church, right?

William Shatner has one of the most unintentionally hilarious running styles of all time and this episode really blessed us with several scenes of Hooker running.

A funny subplot was Romano's new car being stolen and subsequently destroyed when it is driven off a cliff.

7 out of 10 for this one. I would have given it higher but that's not the gypsy way.
