Does anyone on here remember the series, 'Room 222' back in 1969? In 1969 - 1970, I was in the 9th grade in Junior High School. I wonder why they call it Middle School today? I use to love watching 'Room 222' with 2 lead black characters, Lloyd Haynes and Denise Nicholas. I had a crush on Eric Laneuville. He was born in 1952 and I was born in 1955. Eric also was in 'Black Belt Jones' and he went on to be a Director of many television series like Thomas Carter and Kevin Hooks.
Do you remember when the network wasn't allowed to show a young guy shoot up in a hotel room, so they darkened the room & inferred what he was doing. I heard this on a director's cut on the series I bought on DVD
**The White Shadow** Those were the “Good ‘Ole Days” when Adolescents were down and out, but were willing to listen and understand, so that the “Negative Path” that they were headed to was prevented and they transformed themselves to be and do better in **Life**
I regularly watch this show as it first aired the year I graduated HS. I could relate every well to trials, tribulations and lessons learned from the show. RIP to those who've passed on.
Unfortunately, there are a few characters missing. Eric Kilpatrick (Curtis Jackson-Seasons 1& 2). Art Holliday (Eddie Franklin-Season 3). Robin Pearson Rose (Katie Donahue-Bill's wife and Ken's sister). Jason Bernard (Jim Willis-The Pilot Episode-no relation to Ed).
@@jmysterio100 Phil did have one episode dedicated to him. The team was at a party and somebody slipped drugs into his drink and he freaked out and then he had to clear his name that it wasn't his fault.
Wow I had so much love for this show growing up. The whole cast was great but Kevin Hooks was my first tv crush. RIP to those no longer with us. Also, so nice to see so many others have loved this show as much as me.
This started a trend of teams singing in the shower after practice. . My junior high team certainly mimicked the "White Shadow". Loved this show as I s O was a basketball addoct growing up.
I am 69 years old and I have Seasons 1 & 2 or the White Shadow. I knew I was homosexual back in 1979 because I had a big sexual crush on Morris Thorpe, Nick Vitaglia, and Ricky Gomez. I looked forward in watching 'The White Shadow' weekly because it was one of my favorite shows on television. I tell you, getting old and losing your looks is no fun. I went back to my 1973 high school 50th Reunion in 2023 and I was shocked at how all the good looking girls and boys back in the early 70's had gotten fat, the men were bald, and they were unrecognizable. Many high school classmates have died. It was good to see that some of the basketball cast members in the 'White Shadow' are still alive.
Ed Bernard was in the cast of POLICE WOMAN. Today 3 main cast members (Angie Dickinson, Earl Holliman, and Bernard) are still living age 85 or older, and Charles Dierkop died early this year at age 87. Jerry Fogel was the last living cast member of THE MOTHERS-IN-LAW (1967-69).
This show was before my time, but I’ve heard great things about it. I’m going to check it out the full eps on YT. Very groundbreaking show. Everyone aged very well it looks like. R.I.P. ken Howard ✊🏽
There were a lot of side characters. But after the second season, a big part of the team graduated high school and left the show and were replaced in the third season with almost a whole new cast. Most people remember the first 2 seasons.
I love watching this show in the 70s. Ken Howard wad so handsome. and a large cast, so many shows Starky and Hutch. Barretta, my mom's two favorite. and The Dukes of Hazzard. 😊
Fun fact: I was coaching a high school basketball team in 2006 and the referee was none other than Stoney Jackson. I turned around to my bench and told my team “Hey that’s Stoney Jackson “ of course I got blank stares back lol.
Team member Curtis Jackson was played by Erik Kilpatrick, still with us according to IMDB and Wikipedia. The episode where Curtis was killed was very powerful; at least it affected me deeply.
I was in the 10 th grade playing on the basketball team at Point Loma High School in San Diego when theWhite Shadow started in 1978. But we didn’t sing in the shower like Carver HS players did. Thomas Carter became a director and helmed Swing Kids , and Coach Carter and many other films. Tim Van Patten also became a director and Directed several episodes of The Sopranos. Wolfe Perry who joined the cast in season 3, was a star guard at Stanford and easily could have played in the NBA but decided to pursue an acting career instead. Robert Hooks also is a director. Wish we could have had a coach like Coach Reeves instead of the sadistic psychotic monster we had at PLHS.
@ We played Valhalla in a scrimmage 78-79 season at PLHS. Gene Shue was coach of the Clippers ,his son played for Valhalla. Small world!!! My late brother- in- law Jim O’Donnell coached girls basketball At Valhalla 1984-86.
@@buddyvilla7393 I'd forgotten about Gene Shue, and his son. Good recall! I was gone by the time your brother-in-law coached there. I remember our varsity coach, Bob Speidel, (a devout John Wooden disciple) telling us that he coached Bill Walton as a freshman at Helix, and that he had thought Bill was going to make a fine forward, ha ha.
@@buddyvilla7393 Smaller world: I probably knew most of that team you scrimmaged against. And, if you remember the Longs on W. Pt. Loma Blvd., I was part of the crew that helped open that store.
@@kurtkensson2059 Been in that Longs many times. The JV coach at PL 1978-79 John Gilliland ended up as the Varsity Boys coach at Valhalla in the 1980s bJohn had a serious gambling problem ( Horse Races) but I was happy for him he landed a much better Coaching Job at Valhalla. If you are class of 78 you missed John by a few years.
Wait!!! Where’s Jackson?? One of the best episodes was when he couldn’t quite hitting the bottle and was a drunk. The scene 🎬 when he went to the locker room to have a drink and the lights came on and the entire team was there to catch him doing it. That scene was so real and dramatic back then for me as a kid. Actually one of the very reasons why I never really drank at all till this very day and I’m 56 years old. TV shows aren’t only good entertainment back then, but also teachable

Room 222's closing shots were filmed at Los Angeles HS down the street from where I grew up.
Just another reminder of how fast time flies. The White Shadow was my show! RIP to all those cast members who have passed.

I graduated from high school in June 1978 before this series premiered in the fall. It was like watching my life in grades 9 to 11 all over again.
Yup I used to watch this show
All of them aged beautifully! Some of them left us too soon! R.I.P.
Loved this show!!!
Underrated show!!
Tim Van Patten went on to direct a ton of sopranos episodes!
Is Tim Van Patten related to Dick Van Patten?
He’s his half brother. He also won an Emmy for directing Boardwalk Empire.
@@MM-ud1xf I thought the dad's name was Dick from 8 is Enough? Never knew they were 1/2 brothers. Wow what an age gap btwn them!

One of the best damn shows ever! Remember the episode when Coolidge tried out but the Globetrotters! Can u imagine that title today? 😂
Was a great show. Enjoyed watching it.
Thanks for sharing. This was one of my favorite shows
That is NOT a current photo of Ed Bernard. That is the legendary drummer Bernard Purdie. Please correct it.
As a fan of🏀both 🥁I think it's hilarious 😆
Good show. 👍 never missed it
Where is Curtis Jackson?
The Coolidge character then switched over to St Elsewhere and would often wear a Carver High shirt.
Great show......
Put together very well
One of my absolute favorite shows back in the day.
Great video! Thanks!
Very Good video. 👍👏

I remember watching the show.
I also, remember watching this great TV show.

My favorite show when I was in high school. 🏀
the picture of Ed Bernard at age 85 looks exactly like the great drummer Bernard "Pretty" Purdy..I think you need to double check that
That was a good show.
Is that what Byron Stewart or Warren Coolidge looks like now? That after photo doesn't look like him at all.
My reaction was the same as yours
That's not him.
If they don't have an Updated photo just say so. Don't grab something off the internet and use it.
I believe that too😮
@@JAWrightonlinedon’t know why people post lies
Aww such sweet memories😊
Well done. Thanks
It was my favorite back in the 1980s
Great show, very realistic for those times. Loved the episode where Salami was giving the hot teacher some of his salami. 😲😆

Loved this show but so sad to see "Coach" has passed! He played that roll so well, he reminded me of my real life coach (football nonetheless)!
Played HS basketball so this was one of my favorites. Loved the whole cast and watch every level of basketball I can. GO CELTICS
I remember watching this as a kid
I remember White Shadow came on Monday night after Real People. It came on at 9pm which was my bedtime. I was in 3rd/4th grade when the show aired.
I didn't remember the cast being so large.
There were a lot of side characters. But after the second season, a big part of the team graduated high school and left the show and were replaced in the third season with almost a whole new cast. Most people remember the first 2 seasons.
My Mom knew Ken Howard's Mother in college.They kept in touch for years at X-Mas.
Loved this show! I did not remember that James Cromwell was on it!
He also played Stretch Cunningham on All in the Family.
loved it as a kid. 😊
This was my favorite show as a kid!! Do you guys remember the show James at 15? I use to love that show too.😊😊
Back when 📺 tv actually taught lessons.
I remember Nathan Cook being an absolute genius on game shows like Pyramid. RIP.
Every high school back then had the kid with the Salami Mobile.
loved that show, wish I could watch the reruns
They are all on RUclips. I binged watched them all.
@ cool I’m going to search for it right now
🩵🩵🩵 that was a good show
This is Television we need back on...
I was in love with Coach❤
I'm pretty sure that Stoney Jackson had an Afro on the show, not a curly look yet.
they need to re-air this show on Netflix, Hula, etc. Great Show.
I love watching this show in the 70s. Ken Howard wad so handsome. and a large cast, so many shows Starky and Hutch. Barretta, my mom's two favorite. and The Dukes of Hazzard. 😊
Totally forgot Randy Jackson played Jesse in The White Shadow after playing Joe the policeman in the What’s Going Down episode of That’s My Mama.
Gave me life!!! Left me hopeful!!!
Great show! However the “now” photo of actor Ed Bernard may actually be a photo of the legendary drummer Bernard Purdie.

most of them have aged very well
Isaiah Thomas should’ve been in that tv show because he fit that down to earth image of “The White Shadow TV Show”
