The white shadow was one of the best TV shows back in the day
Fay Weekly ...Yes, indeedy!
Yup.
From 1978 to 81, this show was must see for most Black American households. By the late 1970's many of the black TV shows from the beginning of the decade were gone or winding down and The White Shadow comes along with a mostly Black cast, positive role models and a show that dealt with issues that we could relate to.
When Kevin Hooks started directing, I suddenly remembered where I'd first seen him: a movie called "J.T.," about a ghetto kid who blossoms while taking care of a sick cat. That was way back in 1969. So it's been a lifelong career for him.
I had that book! I remember it was illustrated with photos of him.
Hooks also portrayed the young son on the movie Sounder starring Cecily Tyson and Paul Winfield as his parents.
And Arron loves Angela with Irene cara
Thomas Carter is a brilliant director.
He's got two Emmys for directing
Great to see that a number of these men got a chance to do bigger things in the field of film work. A shout-out to Bruce Paltrow!
I salute everyone on The White Shadow. Great acting by everyone and Bruce Paltrow is surely missed. Gave everyone a chance. Miss Ken Howard and watch the show today, Jan 10, 2023 everyday and it makes me cry and laugh. Love the trivia stuff from behind the scenes. met Kevin Hooks once in 2015 or so in Pasadena near City Hall and he was the nicest guy ever. Love you all homies!!!
A high water mark in network TV..an intelligent, original (on network TV??!!) and high quality show that tackled topics unseen elsewhere on network TV, yet never lost its sense of humor. A rare mix of talented actors, directors, writers and anchored by the perfectly cast late, great Ken Howard. You won't see a show of this quality on network tv again soon...
Timothy van Patten is a first rate director of the Sopranos.
Wow didn't know that
They could never redo this show, just wouldn't be the same.
I loved The White Shadow back then, and still do today!!
Remember young Kevin Hooks on “Sounder” with Cicely Tyson?
She was one of the greatest of all time.
She was.
"Me" was one of the best episodes, and that is saying a lot!
Encouragement goes a long way.
The show could have lasted for another three years or more.
Yep, I read the ratings were good enough but a lot of bigot viewers weren't happy with the show being on forefront of racism and being a mostly Black cast. Sad
I love this show. Even though I was only like 2 years old on the year that it came out.
Great to know these guys are still working prominently in film & TV
are they..? Thomas Carter shot Miami Vice pilot and Van Patton shot Sopranos..other than that...?
My life is incomplete not having a third season dvd
The Third Season of the series wasn't so great with only a few good episodes here and there leading up to the shows eventual cancellation, plus the new core of charcters for ball players to go with the popular holdovers didn't catch on after some of the originals transitioned graduating from school into the real world.
yeah..new guys ruined the show..:(
Great show.......but when you have a show about high school kids eventually they get older, graduate and have to move on..... that's why the show only lasted 3 years, even the third season lost something because a lot of the guys graduated....
Kevin Hooks is the man. Love him.
Great!
Kevin Hooks is FINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
👍🏽💯😊
Weird that Bruce Paltrow was better known as Gwyneth’s father, given his resumé.
Have yet to find that last reunion episode with Ella Fitzgerald?
look up The White Shadow, season 3, episodes 13-15 here on RUclips. I watched it a couple of days back which led me to these clips with Thomas Carter.
He looks a little like Richard Pryor
David Green ...No, he doesn't.
Yes he looks like him but doesn’t sound like him 😆
No he doesn't
Yes, yes he does. When I saw the thumbnail, I TOTALLY thought it was R Pryor.
Fue la primera serie que se utilizó el tema del homosexualismo.
