Another one of these god awful "Saved By the Bell' clones that seemed to pop up like local Wal Marts around T.V. in the late 90s.

This was ones gag was to try to include basketball as a form of legitimacy to the show.

Instead of providing legitamacy to this show it just showed how obviously ludicrous it was in concept.

For some inane reason Reggie Theus decided to soil what was once a respectable basketball career by starring in this atrocity. But then again it couldn't be any worse than than playing one game with the expansion Orland Magic (or was it the Timberwolves??)

I think if given a choice I would rathere see my cherished ex-athletes do something more produtive in their off years, like murdering the wives or ex-lovers or fathering lots of kids out of wedlock.

Incredible as it may seem the one person who came out of this travesty a legitimate Hollywood actor was the fat black kid who was treated about as fairly on the show as Screech was on Saved bu the Bell..

The show jump day one

This show was a fun thing to watch in early adolescence...until we got to be about 14 or 15 and realized that the characters were about 23 still playing high school athletes.

This one episode, the redhead cheerleader makes friends with "dregs" or goths. This upsets Julie and Mary Beth at first, but as soon as the redhead gets beat up, Julie and Mary Beth acts all concerned from then. Mary Beth even makes a speech on how "we all need to get along". I hate it when shows get preachy.

This show jumped because first of all Julie plays six seasons for Deering, which means she is incredibly stupid and probably illegally playing because I think you are only allowed 4 years of varsity eligibility. The other reason is that the show fluctuates one of two ways, which I am not sure of: (1) If you are friends with the Julie and Michael, you become a starter or (2) If you are starter, you become part of the gang. I just saw the beginning of the 4th season (I think) yesterday and they do a nice job of explaining the loss of Teddy and Vince although neither are mentioned as graduating the prior season, but the new cast all of sudden is best friends with the cheerleader, Mary Beth, Julie and Michael. It's nice to see so much coherence on a team, but wouldn't be more interesting and more realistic if some of the players didn't get along with each other like they didn't in the first season.

I think it jumped when Chris (the white guy) got cornrows. Or was it the black guy. And yes L-Train was about 35 when this show was shot. This was actually a cut above those TNBC shows; the actors were far superior. But they got defeated by the megalomaniac who was in charge of the production. I was one of the writers and yes, the above posters guessed it, Peter Engel - the impresario of this and SBTB, Hang Time, etc. was a completely hands on old, conservative Jew for Jesus (although actually from NYC) who crushed any creativity, edgy thought, hilarious joke, sexy attitude, etc. WE TRIED.

Hang time was at is peak for me in the first series that was no doubt the best year. The original theme song was a bit cheesy but warm it really suited the first cast, because they had such a great connection. The show was at its best when Julie was the attractive tom boy, Chris was the Popular Jock, Danny was the geeky witty romeo, sam was the nice deep and interesting assistant girl coach, Micheal Maxwell was the funny and cool guy , Mary Beth was the rich shallow cheerleader, Earl was the decent dopey southern hack and last but not least coach fuller he was the man he was the smooth and wise basketball coach. When Chris, Sam, Micheal and Earl left the show and the changed its theme song was never going to better the first year. Most shows are like anyway they find it hard to reproduce the success the first series had.

played in the smallest gym EVER... That, and the show was horrible compared to earlier teen shows Saved by the Bell and California Dreams.

Every game/show ended with a Dearing buzzer beater. They'd win every game except the last buzzer beater in the championship. Too many buzzer beaters can ruin any show about a basketball team that loses three stars a season and is coach by a former Bears great that plays a basketball great.
