When I say that this show was so underrated, I mean it. From 1978-1981, this show was my go to show. Ken Howard (Coach Reeves) had passed away at 71!. I hate hearing stuff like this. I URGE all of you younger guys to get the dvd's and watch the show. I promise you; you won't regret it. There was comedy, sports, and blacks and whites acting like family (friends) and the coach would do anything for any member of his team.
I can remember being a 9 year old kid and my dad ( who died prematurely), would cook me Lenders Pizza Bagels and let me skip school to watch the tape of the show on his Betamax and VHS. It was the greatest.
I'm 44 going on 45, but I know the younger guys will say "big deal".
I'M TELLING YOU. WATCH THE SERIES AND THANK ME AFTER VERY SAD
