I remember that episode of What's Happening when Dwayne started gambling on football games and went on a hot streak. It turned out that he was making his picks based on which team was wearing the coolest looking helmet that game. LOL What's Happening!
Bring bacc SO many fantastic memories. I NEVER missed an episode from 1978 to 1981. The scene where they was talking about death an Coaches mother hit home because that's how i felt when my mom passed, I knew she was gone but i thought she was just somewhere else an that she was coming bacc home. I sure miss this TV Show going to have to get the DVD Set ASAP.
The ruptured aneurysm could’ve happened anywhere. If it had happened when he was alone he would’ve died there. He had some warning symptoms but they would’ve been difficult to diagnose as a cerebral aneurysm. This was another great episode even if it was sad - good topic and plot, I liked how the players voiced their feelings, especially Coolidge.
@@ameliadiaz8040 Thanks for the link. I was a baller back in the day and loved watching The White Shadow as it somewhat resembled my HS team in L.A. Since then I’ve treated many patients with cerebral aneurysms who unfortunately are never the same afterwards, but we try to optimize their quality of life nonetheless. Thanks.
“Should we run laps...better than running numbers Reece.” At first I was just going to skim through but ended up watching every second. I really enjoyed this episode.
The mother wasn't as forgiving to Reeves but the father acknowledged him that their son experienced joy making the team. It kind of lightened the load off the coach a little bit in an otherwise very sad episode.
When I was in high school, I practiced on my own and went out for basketball every year, but the school team always cut me every year regardless of my performance or the availability of opening. [Years later, the same coach had the thick skin to ask me for financial contributions toward the basketball program]. That was why I watched this show since it allowed me to live a high school basketball life vicariously. But because of this history, this particular episode has a special meaning to me. Like me, Randy did everything he could to achieve a dream, and he almost got there before something beyond his control destroyed it for him. Sad but it is part of life.
@@718ant5 exactly.And it is not like as if they did not have the spot. Every year before that and every year after that that coach kept 15 kids on the team. When it came to my year he cut it to 12. Go figure. Thanks for your support anyway.but you are correct. It could have made a huge difference in my life. Now I just don't want to have anything to do with that high School, including financial contributions.
The show that drove our parents insane.. we all needed leather nike high-tops at $42 bucks a pair.. what a great show I loved the singing in the shower... Coolidge 🏀 🍔 🍟
The White Shadow seems like it belongs on a list of the best TV series of all time. In my book, it is right up there with The Sopranos and Breaking Bad.
On the school hallway where Thorpe, Hayward, Salami, & Reese were talking to each other. That one guy who came up and said to them 4 this “you wouldn’t catch me playing for Reeves”. That guy played Nick Vitalia(Salami’s cousin) later on the show and became a new cast members.
This would’ve been around the same time that Astro’s Ace J.R. Richard had his stroke during practice at the Houston Astrodome. I’ll have to sit and watch this in its entirety soon.
This was a powerful show, great, but a lot of times at the end, stuff was 'unresolved' it seemed when the credits would come up like we don't know what happened next to resolve that particular issue, like in the episode of 'Me' involving the case of VD involving Thorpe, Reese, and the girl they both dated. All I saw at the end was it seemed like Thorpe and Reese were cool, but you wouldn't know it.
As a matter of fact, brain aneurism is caused by smoking, drinking alcohol, eating saturated fats and low or bad cholesterol, even excessive sexual relationships.
Reeves (Ken Howard) blames himself after a talented freshman (Haywood Nelson) he recruited for the team unexpectedly dies; guests Madge Sinclair, Hal Williams.
The mother in this episode is so ignorant and irrational. A person with a weak blood vessel in their head is a walking time bomb. It wasn't the coaches fault...

Loved this show, Rest In Peace Ken Howard
That's some heavy hitting stuff. Just realizing how good this show was.
Not like the crap that's on the small screen today.
The best show ever : )

And then the gang bet their money on his next pick, which was the winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers ... because they had cool helmets!
Picked Buccaneers over Raiders
From what’s happening
Tampa Bay! I remember that episode 😂
One of the BEST TV shows EVER.Real life situations AND basketball, plus I was 15-18 yrs old when this was on TV.
As a little kid, I watched this episode of guest star Haywood Nelson. Thanks for the upload.
I remember this also
Hey Hey Hey..
All that episode need is Re-run and Roger Thomas seriously...

With 54 episodes in total, of course, if it isn't good enough!
Dewayne. Hey hay hey.
I'm loving these shows.. thank you so much for sharing them with us. Way better than the crap they try to feed us on TV.. 🏀🏀🏀

@@bballerforever You're welcome.
“Should we run laps...better than running numbers Reece.” At first I was just going to skim through but ended up watching every second. I really enjoyed this episode.
1) This episode: a decade before Hank Gathers; 2) The late great Madge Sinclair....beyond well-missed!
3) Hal Williams is still alive.

Michael Reardon ...I concur.
I agree as well.
Me too.
@@ameliadiaz8040 I agree with all of y’all.
I use to stay watching this when it use to come on Nick @ Nite back in the day.
Same here.
I always had a crush on Dewayne from what's happening!😍

John Fu a lot of boneheaded coaches out here. Killing kids dreams. One man could have added you on the team and changed a lot.

Hayward Nelson was great on What's Happening. Sad to see his character (Randy) die on The White Shadow. Hal Williams was great as Hayward's dad.

I wish coaches were this nice and caring in the real world
Me too.

Best show ever
Sure, not like the crap that's on the small screen today.
This was a deep one...without meaning to be funny tho...”my grandma died but she was old”...,priceless!!!
Before today I didn't know that Haywood Nelson from What's Happening was in the White Shadow.
I wish a cable program would carry this show.
All the episodes are available on youtube
This kicks ass. Crying.......

How's that VW parked behind the limo. The greatest show on TV ever.
The White Shadow, staring Ken Howard is brought to you by Kraft. ( If you're Canadian u'll know)
I swear Haywood Nelson and Prince are related somehow
The coach was not responsible 😢
in today's world, the coach and the school would have been sued...
Madge Sinclair..RIP
Hal Williams, on the other hand, is still alive.
Hey where's Raj and Rerun?
Lol
Waiting at Rob's soda shop for Dwayne to finish practice 🤣🤣🤣
Randy is the character and he really resembled Randy Jackson (Michael’s brother).
This had to be one of the saddest episode of any TV Show I ever seen.
And the most tragic one too.
how cute is Haywood Nelson?
The name of this episode was called "Sudden Death".
Life for a kid should never ever be cut short in that of a disease or in that of a gunshot.
Dwayne, Dwayne, Dwayne...
This episode Tragic but it looks like everybody came together upon the Tragedy!!!🏀

Tough being a coach.
Hey hey hey from what’s happening
2:11 Haywood Nelson and the late Ken Howard.
Dwayne from What’s happening hey hey hey Haywood Nelson
What ball got dribbled around 16:10 ? I heard it, but I did not see it.
his hand smacked the ball.
Am I wrong to say Joan Pringle was HOT!!!!
"Nobody's ever lost an election because he was a basketball player". Interesting. Obama was a basketball player.
If he knows the show and he most likely does, got to be his favorite White Shadow line!
Dwayne from what's happening
Reeves (Ken Howard) blames himself after a talented freshman (Haywood Nelson) he recruited for the team unexpectedly dies; guests Madge Sinclair, Hal Williams.
This episode hits home for me. My Mom passed away from a brain aneurysm. #Teardrops
Rest in eternal peace to your mommy.
Losing a parent is horrible. I am so sorry for your loss
Golden State warriors 🏀💪🏀
Keep a cool cerebelum...
THEY CUT A PART OF THIS EPISODE WHERE COOL THORPE AN JACKSON R OUTSIDE EATING LUNCH AN TALKIN ABOUT JUDD
Antoine Emory
You’re right. As a 7-year-old, I watched this episode (back in 1979).
Randy's mother was right 👍
Prince can beat his brother Duane
@18:46 bad vibes like what happened to Reggie Lewis. Hard to watch.
I wonder if Randy has ate too much saturated fats and/or low density or bad colesterol when in mortal life.
The mother in this episode is so ignorant and irrational. A person with a weak blood vessel in their head is a walking time bomb. It wasn't the coaches fault...
I wouldn’t call her ignorant. She lost her son. I can understand her emotion.
@@mikevanriel7573
Sure, unlike her faithful husband.

I didn't know Randy's pop was a bus driver, possibly an RTD (Southern California Rapid Transit District) one. 🚍
Ahhhhhhhhhh 18:30
