Still a few gaps in there, but overall, there's a lot of great stuff. Thanks again.

Hulu - this is why you ROCK! Thanks for bringing on The White Shadow... This was a ground-breaking series for TV. I think about it now, and it really was at the forefront of America as it was coming out of the 70's: it was one of the only shows to show inner-city high schoolers dealing with issues of race (one of the black players dated a white student, the white coach and the black principal had a thang going, etc...), sexuality (one of the players friends was gay, and not the whitewashed made for mainstream America, gay, ala Will & Grace), and drugs, and VD, etc... But get this - it was a COMEDY! They say that Comedy = Tragedy + Time. American TV was just coming into the more complex issues of the 70's and Bruce Paltrow (yes, Gweneth's Dad) made this show to reflect that. Just a great set of characters, good plot lines, and high school ballers ripping on one another... Jumped the shark towards the end of Season 2. (Season 3 is a disaster!). So Hulu, Thanks!, but get Season 1 on!!!

I absolutely LOVED this show back in the day! The entire cast was top drawer in the acting department and the story lines were always very realistic. Thanks HULU for giving us GREAT TV again!

I think, even if it was just a little bit, everybody who grew up when this show was on wished they went to Carver High, if nothing else, to root for the team. I also wish my high school basketball coach had cared half as much about us as Coach Reeves did his guys.
