From T.J. Hooker on ABC (couldn't find any for CBS):

1982 premiere ad (can you believe it's been two-score years since William Shatner assumed this role?)...




And two versions of the "Hooker Is Hot!" 1984 ad that had the 80s Torch Lady of Columbia Pictures Television (w/Coca-Cola byline of the time [The Coca-Cola Company owning CPT, and Columbia Pictures, then]) at the bottom of it (not many TV Guide ads had the originating studio of a series to be credited in any way on them, so this is very much a rarity); one from KTVX Channel 4 (ABC of Salt Lake City, UT), and the other for unknown stations...
