In 1969, I was 8 and KNEW that I wanted to teach. My friends and I mimicked Karen Valentine's hair and clothing. In 2000, after being an acute care nurse, I joined the nursing faculty where I had graduated and taught for 18 years. Now, I'm back in the frontlines in the hospital during a pandemic. This time, I teach patients how to take care of their broken hearts (and other body parts). Watching Room 222 tonight reminded me of our days of innocence in the U.S. American life is so ugly now. To the soul who posted the video, thank you for this little gift.
One of the best series from the late 60's to early 70's! Used to watch this religiously back in the day when ABC had their Friday night lineup of The Brady Bunch, Nanny & The Professor, The Partridge Family, Room 222, and Love American Style! Oh the memories!!!
Friday nights when I was in grade 1 (Autumn 1970) on ABC. Brady Bunch, Nanny and the Professor, Partridge Family, Room 222, That Girl and at 10pm Love American Style.
+Cynthia Brown It was good tv, and most homes still had only one tv set so everyone watched together. Also you only had ABC, NBC, CSS and some local stations running old movies.
I must say, it is a great thing to see people working together to make the world a better place regardless of their social backgrounds and differences. What a great show this was and one of my favorite at the time. As the saying goes "they just don't make them like this anymore" .
Born in 1963, and somehow yesterday I'd heard the words 'Room 222' and I thought 'oh my god...I'd TOTALLY forgotten about that show!' What would we do without RUclips? ;-)
Were you born before 11/22/63? If so, you were a JFK baby and can join the club exclusively comprising people born during the Kennedy Administration. Not so many of us left, you know.
Sweet memories. My sisters and I really looked forward to our favorite sitcoms; yes 'room 222 was among them. Socially relevant, and good writing. It's is a shame that fifty years later, the majority of sitcoms are dull, and unentertainin!
Even with all the social unrest at the time...there still was a feeling of hope...that maybe we could work it out...as soon as i heard the flute...i almost cried (ok i cried!)...such a cool show...and everyone looks neat and clean...no students with sagging pants!
I remember being too young to watch this show but heard the theme song in my bed from the downstairs tv as my parents watched and it sounded so hopeful.
The Richie Lane character was taken off the show after two seasons because the Producers felt he had lost his "Overall Cuteness". He was replaced by Eric Laneueville who was naturally short and a good actor, but it was still one of the moca that led to the show's cancellation in 1974!
Lloyd Haynes did a USO show on my aircraft carrier along with Forrest Tucker (F Troop) back in the 1970s. So sad he died so young. Thankfully the other main actors are all still alive.
This was an amazing program and everyone loved it. After 40+ years, the writing is really quite good and it handled complex story lines. 1969 mind you... the dark ages... yet here were such charming characters played by talented actors. Karen Valentine had a big popularity and the guy that played Pete Dixon... what ever came of him?
Lloyd Haynes basically smoked himself to death. He died of lung cancer in 1987 at age 52, the result of years of heavy cigarette smoking. Great actor; such a shame.
Life was just better then. Something about it that younger people of today will never understand. It's just a time that we will sadly never have again.
I remember being too young to watch this show but heard the theme song in my bed from the downstairs tv as my parents watched and it sounded so hopeful.
this TV series couldn't come at better time my generation when the world was. a little better I am so glad I had seen this series on ABC when it frist came out I will never forget it
I just noticed something really neat - you can tell this was the pilot. The entire cast was wearing the same outfits in the opening scenes as they were in the opening credits, as if they had just been shot that morning of the first day.
I remember going through a similar dilemma escaping from Jordan federal penitentiary (high school) in watts. fortunately, I got out of there after the first 10th grade semester, and graduated from Huntington park high. Thank you Jesus.
This was clearly a funny show at times, other times serious, but most of all, a good and well written and well acted show. Lloyd Haynes; Michael Constantine; Denise Nicholas and Karen Valentine EXCELLED in this show.
Some very powerful performances in this first episode. A lot of conviction went into the writing. From today's perspective, American society seemed then to be changing for the better, but slowly. It's a stark contrast.
Great show ! I'm a teacher and I really love watching the dynamics of education in the early 1970s ! I was looking for the episode "The Laughing Majority" to show my students so that they could make parallels to the 2016 election.
Wow! I always thought Richie looked older and smarter, but he looks really young and normal. Of course, the last time I saw this episode it was a brand new show and I was twelve. Thanks for posting it.
this episode deals with what remains a timely subject - - the lack of educational equality. all these years later, there are still huge numbers of kids commuting to schools outside their districts.
Takes me back to my childhood when a Quarter Pounder with cheese was delicious and 69 cents also there were no Value Meals everything was a separate item.
This show, though very melancholy, and often moody, was extremely ground-breaking and provocative at the time. It is very hard to believe how few people remember it, and that reruns are almost unheard of, for many years now.
Mr. Dixon's demeanor was so outstanding! You can tell he really cared for his students. I just loved how he talked to his students like a teacher, a father, a counselor. Teachers like him are practically extinct these days! ❤
This was an excellent show. The actors, and writers were brilliant and beautiful no matter the race. I am 56 and truly believe America was better back then!
Denise Nicholas brought Me Here, What an Excellent Show. Great Acting, Great Show, Great Story and Great Characters. Have to Watch More Episodes!!! Something about Television in that Era. Thanks for the Upload.
Denise Nichols was the real star,but they featured Karen valentine and built the show around her but I think Denise Nichols stole her thunder most of the time
Brings back a lot of memories when our culture was about getting along with each other, loving you fellow human being. Today it's all about shoot'em up video games, everyone hating everyone else and accusing each other of racism. I really do hope mankind goes back from our current Neanderthal mentality...
Actually, we now live in a world where banks and corporations have more rights than people and the environment and where the only thing that matters anymore is profit maximization. No, I am not against capitalism; I am against corporatism. Believe me, the neanderthals never had it so good.
Love the opening theme. This really was one of the first socially conscious shows that captured the perspectives of young people during the era of early 70's. I always thought that the teenagers on this show were 'cool'. I have a fondness for this time, and miss it. I agree with the below posters about "the illusion of progress" and "everyone hating everyone who's different from them and accusing them of racism". We humans are Supposed to see things differently, because we're different!
Underappreciated classic show created by TV and FILM Producing legend James Brooks(creator of Mary Tyler Moore Show, Taxi and the Simpsons among others). Sure got overshadowed by being in the same friday block of 'Brady Bunch" and Patridge Family" in this era. One of the first TV shows in US that had a regular cast of both Black and White Men and Woman. Also one of the first half hour comedy-dramas as well. TV could use a show like this again.
never missed an episode of this back in the day so relatable and now compared to today it seems so strange and out-of-place but good programming and good writing makes for good reruns the shows are just as good today as they were when I saw them the first time boy couldn't today's kids really get an education from watching these
Yes. It was a model of classroom cooperation and what makes a good teacher. There were classrooms like this back then. Back when student to teacher ratio was much higher... It was the history and government classes that were a haven of free thinking and free speech.
They were, but it WAS a conservative, upper middle class school in a "good" part of town. It's implied not all schools were the same. Case example of a school from a poorer part of the city would be "Welcome Back Kotter" and the clothes, kids, and attitude reflected it.
***** But don't forget about Karen Valentine. This show had a couple of hotties!! (Plus the girl who played student Helen Loomis was worth a look too.)
trwent No doubt Karen was a super cuttie too. Gotta take a second look at Helen Loomis. I felt close to that series because I lived around the corner from LA High during the 60's & early 70's. I remember watching the fire & earthquake bring that building down from my back porch.
I'll have you know that they are in a 1963 Valiant Signet convertible!! Started my love of MOPAR cars with this show and 'Beverly Hillbillies' in the later seasons.
Had a school boy crush on Denise Nicholas. And who did not want a teacher like Mr. Haynes? Or a teacher's aide/new teacher like Karen Valentine. Such a great show along with so many during that era: Mod Squad, Courtship of Eddie's Father. There was real hope in the air...Seems like eons ago...
I lived there for two years, and heard kids use the term "fu*%ng niiigga guy" a lot when referring to blacks. Used differently than when they called whites "haoles" who they didn't seem to like, of even speak to at all. But yes, most locals were live and let live.
featuring Roy Stuart, who played Corporal Chuck Boyle, on Gomer Pyle USMC. He made his debut in the second season as Sgt. Carter's Corporal and left after the fourth season.
I've heard that there was an episode about a student that is continuing/completing his high school education after serving in Vietnam. I don't remember seeing it. Does anyone remember it?, and is it uploaded? My older Brother went to LAHigh during the years this was being filmed, and just missed being drafted. Our entire family was so scared he was going to go.... Thank you very much AJ-B for uploading these!
I remember the episode but the name of it escapes me. The guy quit school and joined the forces. I don't think they mentioned Vietnam, not sure if he had seen combat or not. He wasn't screwed up in any noticeable way, but he didn't fit in because times had changed since he was last in school and he was older than all the other students. Hope this helps

Even with all the social unrest at the time...there still was a feeling of hope...that maybe we could work it out...as soon as i heard the flute...i almost cried (ok i cried!)...such a cool show...and everyone looks neat and clean...no students with sagging pants!
Geoffrey Phipps Agreed! I miss those days. America has since lost its innocence.
Yes there was. People genuinely wanted to make things better. Money was not worshipped. There was an altruism then that you don't see now.
I cried to tears of joy...🍂⏳🛎
It will all work out.
I remember being too young to watch this show but heard the theme song in my bed from the downstairs tv as my parents watched and it sounded so hopeful.

Karen Valentine was such a doll. Wow!
Love episode and Richie was an amazing student.
The laugh tracks were used for the first few episodes but were phased out and it was turned into a drama. The writing was good and creative.
Life was just better then. Something about it that younger people of today will never understand. It's just a time that we will sadly never have again.
Ask any non white if life was better back then... MAGA lol

Lloyd Haynes was a lucky bastard. Two stunning natural beauties.

She still is...😂
I loved her in "In the Heat of the Night."

Great show ! I'm a teacher and I really love watching the dynamics of education in the early 1970s ! I was looking for the episode "The Laughing Majority" to show my students so that they could make parallels to the 2016 election.
You just gave me a good idea my fellow educator!
Still upset with Trump?
YOu're a cute lookin teacher!
I started watching it and couldn't stop. LOL Was a great show back in the day. Still fun. They were all the teachers and principal we wished we had.
Lloyd Haines was the teacher I tried to be, with a little bit of Liz thrown in.

Amazing that this is almost 26 minutes -- barely four minutes for commercials. I think a 30 - minute show is only 22 minutes today.
Room 222 was on ABC from 1969 to 1974 was one of the best shows of all time Welcome Back, Kotter was still years away until in 1975
both were horrible, "222" was over-the-top PC> "Kotter" glorified a group of sub-moronic thugs
Takes me back to my childhood when a Quarter Pounder with cheese was delicious and 69 cents
also there were no Value Meals everything was a separate item.
But the quarter pounder was that and not the size of a quarter
I REMEMBER WATCHING THIS SERIES EVERY WEEK. KAREN VALENTINE IS ONE OF REASONS I WATCHED IT. IT'S A GOOD SHOW TO WATCH.
I love how the theme music starts in 7/4 time, then changes to 4/4 at the end.
This show, though very melancholy, and often moody, was extremely ground-breaking and provocative at the time. It is very hard to believe how few people remember it, and that reruns are almost unheard of, for many years now.
Whoa, brought back memories. Watched the original run when I was 7 years old.
Professor Time /
One of my favorite shows.
I love Room 222. I would like to see Room 222 back on TV
Ya, the guitar at the beginning is everything plus the flute!
I used to love this show omg thank you for posting it.

It was when we still felt safe in the world.

i loved watching this show when i was a kid...
Originally telecast on September 17, 1969.
U are right!,It did!
We also weren't supposed to notice that some of the "kids" in Pete's class were actually older than Karen Valentine.
I loved this show as a little girl. This episode was very subtle dealing with real issues. Good job!
Richie was the first urkel
i missed these shows thank you for bringing them back😊
Thanks for sharing I truly enjoyed this sitcom
I was really little back then but I remember this show well and it brings back good memories. :-)
Thanks for uploading. I had forgotten about this old show. And forgotten how handsome Lloyd Haynes was. Sad that he died before his time.
I was about 6 when this show was on along with other shows ..Friday was one of the best tv nights and not on a school night. Good memories
That beautiful Helene Loomis! She don't talk loud, but she sure talks good!

Used differently than when they called whites "haoles" who they didn't seem to like, of even speak to at all.

Season 1 Episode 1. By the second season, the laugh track was gone.

I don't think they mentioned Vietnam, not sure if he had seen combat or not. He wasn't screwed
up in any noticeable way, but he didn't fit in because times had changed since he was last in school
and he was older than all the other students. Hope this helps
"Do you prefer colored, negro or black?"

Except the ones who are male.
