I loved The White Shadow when I was a kid.  RIP

Incidentally, it's amazing the number of future directors that show produced out of the kids acting in the show.

Big time guys too.

I remember watching a few episodes, but I was probably just a bit young to appreciate it at that point (I think I was around 10 when it was on).

EDIT:  When looking it up, I was only 7 when it started and 10 when it ended.

It was part of the heyday of CBS dramas in the late 70's and early 80's.  Realism was a big thing then and it was basically a sanitized version of how poor kids from South Central lived.  You had drugs, booze, teen sex, abortion, gun violence, single or absentee parents, gang shtein... pretty damn good show, actually.

[smeags]

Agreed. Was a big fan of the white shadow. Coolidge and salami were my favs.

Carver high bitches !!

Kevin Turner at 46. Loved that signing at the time. Man, 46...really hate to see that. Then again, I've seen some recent interviews and that ALS took it's usual ridiculously terrible toll.
