The White Shadow S1 (Episodes 5-9)

[@Ravenscroft82]

One of the greatest TV dramas, ever. Fun Fact: Michael Warren was 32 when he played 17 year old Bobby Magnum.

The acting in this show is top notch.i was 10 years old and loved this show and now I'm watching it like it's on Netflix on hear

[@r2153]

Watched is show as a kid. It's quality and still holds up. Knows how to highlight social issues without beating you over the head with a blunt object.

[@blockmasterscott]

White Shadow was a really awesome show. I always loved how the coach cared for his players. 👍💪

[@uofa82]

Sacrificially. Not many real coaches like that today.

[@andrewliammcneil1151]

This show was outstanding in spite of it's subpar TV ratings! Quite frankly, I find it GENIUS! Both Bruce Paltrow and Ken Howard deserve some type of award for creating and producing premium quality TV that stands the test of time! There are so many attributes, I don't have space to discuss them all! This show was so much better than its ratings, sad that it isn't in syndicated reruns on some retro channel FOREVER!

The working relationship between Coach Ken Reeves and Ms. Sybil Buchanan is unique and quite sarcastic. They don't see eye to eye at times but always seem to come to a resolution to a problem.

[@richardbullis156]

The Coach is the best when it comes to his players. Sometimes his methods are unconventional but the love he shows for them is inspiring.

[@STUDZiammanythings175]

Just started watching this show last night, and I really like it. Can’t believe how underrated it is.

[@w.analyzedpastfuture4655]

[@backbay2242]

This was an excellent show. Howard really captured that jock arrogance.

[@benkizer9509]

How have I just discovered this show? Great acting, great writing, realistic looking basketball being played, storylines that are still relevant in 2023, taking on real issues without being preachy... what happened to shows like this?

[@CCTH2221-lp2zj]

I was in middle school in North Jersey when this came out. I remember thinking Sybil Buchanan would get my full attention😍

[@markmathewson6400]

Coolidge has a dream in season 3 that he is on the Globetrotters. In it Sybil is dressed in a sexy outfit. Its must see tv and I agree😍

[@mikeacton2203]

Tackled some real serious issues in the late '70s and early '80s when few other shows did.

[@gatchpaints]

And shows still 'tackling' those same 'serious issues'. Why haven't we learned the lessons this show supposedly gave 45 years ago?

[@mariofierro944]

Reliving Jr. High, afterschool, once again!! Channel 9, What's Happening, and, The White Shadow. Good show. Good topics, good era. Not like today's TV line up.

[@gatchpaints]

Tv today has the same topics. We've not grown as a society.

[@MikeyzFoodieLair]

[@fernandoalarcon8534]

Yup. That was my memory as well. I watched the reruns on channel 9, I believe it was 1982. I was 10 years old and getting into basketball. Man, I’m so glad I found this on KZbin.

[@robsniffen7597]

Imagine if that knee of Ken’s held out a few more years and he and Jordan played together. Bulls would have 10 rings.

It would have been Howard taking the shot instead of kucok and pippen wood be mad at Howard and we all know Howard would beat the shut out of pippen 🤣🤣🤣

[@briannilles1303]

Maybe Reeves would have married Juanita Jordan , got some of Michael’s bread

[@Gl6619]

Ken Reeves was already 38 by the time he coached Carver(according to dialogue in one of the first 2 episodes)….maybe he would have caught Reggie Theus’s rookie season but he wouldn’t have lasted till ‘84

[@tomlemery8490]

In the 7th episode, Manuel Padillo Jr. as one of the aztecs, was on Tarzan in the 60's. The dancing music sounds a little like "Conga" by the Miami Sound Machine.

[@kidmack3556]

I love that guy! R.I.P. Had he been living, and because he's a native Angeleno, I would've cast him as the host and narrator for the NFL Films documentary "Last Day In LA" about the Rams and Raiders leaving Los Angeles in 1994.

[@Redmenace96]

This was a really good show. A little corny, now, but pretty raw in 1982. Maybe not as culturally sensitive as we are today. But look at the positive, the black actors were outstanding and able to showcase their abilities. The player characters, Haywood, Thorpe, and Coolidge were a revelation to me, when I was a kid.

This is the same era as Moonlighting, and Cheers and I wanted the two principles Coach Reeves and Vice Principle Sybil Buchanan to get it on. She was always in his stuff, and he knew how to control her. If they became a couple, it would have been great television! Hill Steeet Blues was very sexy with the precinct captain and the defense lawyer?

Have you ever watched --- all in the family? The language on there far surpasses anything on this show. The 70s we're pretty open.

[@AlBiggs-v6c]

Everyone on the team has a terrible attitude

[@jnadle1]

If the show had gone on a couple more seasons, I could expect the Post/Carpenter score to sound more like "The Greatest American Hero" with more tragic moments being along the lines of fellow MTM show Hill Street Blues. About that theme music used in "That Old Gang of Mine," it just sounds like the show should've gone to Universal TV or Stephen J. Cannell Productions instead. They should have gotten Patrick Williams or Dave Grusin instead.

[@markelijio6012]

Patrick Williams - The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Rhoda, Lou Grant Dave Grusin - St. Elsewhere (theme composer, 1982 - 1988) Henry Mancini - Remington Steele (theme composer, 1982 - 1987) Newhart (theme composer, 1982 - 1990)

Well-intentioned and the creators hearts in the right place but the characters and some of the situations and how the problems are solved are about as believable as the Tooth Fairy.

@Richard Bullis I never watched this show back then, even though I was a varsity athlete because I didn't like basketball... still don't. I think it was running in the same time slot with something on NBC that I really liked, maybe "Class Of '65"? But I love this show now because I WAS in high school then.
