Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU Mr. OLD HEAD!! THANX for making this great show available. We are watching this as a family with my Wife and my 15 1/2 y/o son. He is seeing what GOOD television was like. Thank you again!
The Johnny's Shrimp Boat in this episode is the one that was in Downtown LA at 3rd and Main Street (you can see above the door the address is 325) which is now out of business. If you google it you can see a throwback photo of the one filmed in this episode which is white with blue striped awning and located next to a pay to park parking lot.
Really.nice. the acting is underrated. I watched this show as a older child. It's just as good. I really.didnt understand the nuances of the show then. I just got absorbed in it .I felt it
this was my favorite show when i was 19. but a few of these episodes were unrealistic. like when hayward spent all that time an energy lookin for tha dude who was responsible for killin his young cousin an then when u find him u start cryin like a bitch. an runnin away. first u bought tha gun an didnt use it an threw it in tha sewer. anybody in tha hood knows in real life even if u didnt kill him u should of at least pistol whipped him or at least held him for tha po po.
this is kind of confusing are sybil an willis sayin merry xmas cause it's around xmas time or is it actually xmas day? an if it is what school is open on xmas day?
I agree 100%. His story could have been deeper. Kinda like the autistic young man that got playing time. This show is sooo good and precious. It could have been better if the writers knew how important and impactful it would have been in 30 years
decarla didnt u play on a episode of this show as the girl from out of town who almost got tricked into prostitution an is jacson's sister in real life?
49:00; The White Shadow (Sliding By) After threatening to bench (Warren) Coolidge for bad grades, (Coach) Reeves discovers a highly publicized, spectacular new player is illiterate. Broadcast by CBS aired December 3, 1979. Broadcast by Nick-at-Nite aired January 28, 1995.
now warren what u know about tha real world wouldnt fill a postage stamp LMAO damn sybil that was a cold statement but a true an legit one it needed to be said
cool was tha laziest student at carver high always wanted things tha easy way never studied anything i wonder did goldstein help him study after wade turned him down
I like how they ended each episode even if there wasn’t a necessary resolution…that was kind of groundbreaking for a dramatic show…most dramatic television shows up to that point would end with some type of resolution…
I saw the exact thing occurred in high school. Back in the day there was a football player who was absolutely marvelous. In fact he was recruited by just about every college in the country. His GPA was 3.3 out of high school. The guy got a 400 in the SAT. And it turns out he was totally dyslexic and had a fifth grade reading level by the time when he went to college. the sad thing is some of these players are being used as nothing but money makers for the universities
I love how "Principal Willis" asks the question, "Do we really have the right to interfere?" That would be my input; Is it right to suppress an athlete's talent, a talent that could potentially lift himself or herself and his or her family out of poverty, because he or she are not able to read and write at their age level? I believe that there is something to work out between failing student athletes and just pushing them through. This was the '70s, and the curriculum as well as the testing was in many ways culturally biased and at best archaic. I was a varsity athlete from grade 8 through and THANK GOD! the coaches ran interference for me and saw that I matriculated. Otherwise, I would have been in prison or dead now. I suffered from dyscalculia. All the teachers that I had from kindergarten until grade 9 labeled me as lazy and stubborn. It wasn't until grade 9 that Mr. Gurley, my math teacher, realized that I had a learning disability. Three years to go until graduation, and NOW they finally figured it out! And they didn't even have a name for it, Mr. Gurley described it as a "mental block" So you see my point? "Reeves" is right too, because it will catch up to you sooner or later, but in my particular case, it was much later rather than sooner...
They should have played Mac Wade 56:19 (before they knew about his reading level and grades). He transferred legitimately to the school from outside the state. Most of the other shows are about guys enrolling and unsuccessfully playing on this team for some reason. But again, this is make believe.
He realized that taking someone’s life was not as easy as he thought. He probably also didn’t want to bring more pain to his family as the coach was trying to get him to understand.
Thorpe is right. Coach Reeves doesn't live or grow up in the same environments as blacks and Hispanics. Everything has been handed to him on a silver platter. The difference is blacks and Hispanics have had it rough all their lives. So, he can't relate to them or know how they feel. He is like a high school teacher that I know. He thinks that everything is going to be all right like in the TV shows, but this is not a TV show. Its real life and things don't always turn out like they are planned this is the reality not a fairy tale story.
You don’t think Asians had a hard time in the US. Tell that to Japanese Americans who were locked up. The first minority to play US professional basketball too was Asian American. Wataru Misaka. He gets no fanfare either unlike Jackie Robinson.

There is a back up center in the team who never has any lines he’s smaller than Coolidge but bigger than everyone else , why didn’t he ever have a line , even the team manager Phil had some lines , I want to know what that guys name is , this is my favorite show right next to the Cosby show , I’m watching it as a man , and still love it like I was 7 years old which I was in 1978
Someone who's just moved to a new school shouldn't have to take their test in less than a week. "Teachers decide what's fair and what isn't." What a crock of horse shit!
Carver staff was unfair to Wade making him take tests immediately upon his arrival. Also reprimanding him for a “smart ass comment “ when they knew it was not. #teamwade

This episode was unforgettable. It still happens today
Thank you so much for uploading these!!! I'm enjoying enjoying these!!
Every time I hear the intro it reminds me of Stevie Wonder’s Boogie on Reggae Woman.
That song set off da twerkang craz y’all
Good ear.
I like how Phil, the manager/water boy, got a few lines, in Season 2, lol.

Great show but bad news R.I.P John Mengatti AKA Nicholas Nick Vataglia September 21, 1954 to March 26, 2023.
He didn't die that's false information
Best show of the 70’s.
Wade would have been way better addition for season 3 than the no-namers. He seemed to have great chemistry with the guys.
I agree 100%. His story could have been deeper. Kinda like the autistic young man that got playing time. This show is sooo good and precious. It could have been better if the writers knew how important and impactful it would have been in 30 years
the dude playing her pimp.....he playin the fuck out of that pimp role!! lol
Yeah I know
This episode was so very real
And it so so very much
Jackson had a tragic ass life on the show: Alcoholism, first love being a prostitute, then gets killed in a robbery gone wrong. Sheesh!
Joan Pringle and Teddy Wilson were a couple in real life and had twins.
Wilson was also "Sweet Daddy Williams" on Good Times. I think he died of cancer a while back.
That 2 time loser needed to mind his own business.

Same here.
Even though Coach Rob 💘 THE WORLD SERIES CHAMPION ATLANTA BRAVES, I am digging the Cubs cap, Ken Howard is sporting! 😊
I wonder if Tom Sellick and or the producers of "Magnum P.I." got the Tiger's cap idea from "Coach Reeeves"
I got the DVD series

I swear 😢
Yeah. That young girl crying was absolutely top notch acting. Sounded very real
Seriously. It got me. Especially the little girl
This show is still relative in this day and age.

R.I.P. jason sorry about your loss haywood
So what made Hayward back off when he had a chance to avenge his cousin's death?
Good question, probably had some revelation when he had the gun pointed at dude.
He realized that taking someone’s life was not as easy as he thought. He probably also didn’t want to bring more pain to his family as the coach was trying to get him to understand.
Karma he did enough he thought about jail ect
