The White Shadow (1978–1981)
9/10
Low Budget High Marks... No CGI; Old School Character Development
21 March 2021
Helps if you love basketball, but not a prerequisite. America was actually very much this. Oh, some minor sanitization here, but some of us are old enough to understand the weapons proliferation and bigotry has gone the wrong direction since this fine show. Everyone who worked on this show should feel smugly proud. Also occasionally fun to see the cars of the era. Lots of episodes show the cars of the era and while it makes me feel old seeing scenes of my high school days, also a nostalgic comfort remembering here in Texas, Trump had an accurate reputation as a creepy frat city punk with a reputation for whining. Same lowlife rejected then, became a foreign asset, and propaganda changed America to go down to his level. White Shadow is a comfort knowing it isn't me who went against this show's once accurate version of America. Hope we get some version of this again. Minus the short gym shorts...those were seriously terrible LOL!
