Thanks very much for creating this board. When originally aired, the show coincided with my first three years of high school (1978 to 1981) and my only three years of organized basketball. I watched the show almost every week for the first two seasons and it was a frequent topic of discussion at school, particularly during my grade nine year. I lost interest in the show in year three with the new cast of characters and seemingly new direction. What was interesting was that was also my own final year of organized basketball. I did a lot of sitting on the bench that season as the team I was on was a very good one and eventually won a local championship. Although everything usually got resolved, for better or for worse, in less than one hour, The White Shadow nonetheless taught some useful lessons. I've enjoyed reading the comments on this board. It is rewarding to see that some of the strongest actors on the show have gone on to long and great careers in show business. 25 years later I still enjoy playing basketball from time to time (I enjoy it more than any other sport, particularly when there is no coach to sit me on the bench) and am looking forward to revisiting some old history and watching the first two seasons of The White Shadow on DVD. |
