Paid Members tiger_rick Posted March 15, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted March 15, 2015 I used to like California Dreams but the characters were a bit wet. I've got it on DVD somewhere but I've never bothered to watch it. Always loved the theme song though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Really Big Shoe Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 "Surf dudes with Attitude, kinda groovy~!........"  Yeah it was good from what I can remember, didn't have the zanyness of SBTB though and like you say some of the characters didn't have much substance to them & weren't as memorable as Zack & co. I can name all the main characters of Saved but unless I google it, can't remember any of the California Dreams crew.    also liked Hang Time  Yep me too. There was a plethora of good shows back in the day - SBTB, California Dreams, Hang Time, Martin, Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Hangin' with Mr Cooper, Sister Sister, Kenan & Kel et al   Can remember the name 'City Guys' but can't recall if I watched it, probably did though. I think that show and also 'USA High' were again exec produced by Peter Engel.  Also was there any notable guest stars on SBTB as I'm sure they could have got some big names on there & was there much SBTB merchandise around as that would have been a license to print money back in the day when the show was super popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted March 15, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted March 15, 2015 Yeah, think it got a cassette tape release too  Also does anyone remember 'California Dreams'?, it was made by the SBTB writers & exec produced by Peter Engel too. Was the 'Zack Attack' SBTB episode a nod to "California Dreams", or a precursor to it, as 'Dreams' was about a band and the characters were very SBTB-esque IIRC which would make sense since it was developed by the same team.  The Zack Attack Episode, Rockumentary, was basically a backdoor pilot for California Dreams.   Also was there any notable guest stars on SBTB as I'm sure they could have got some big names on there & was there much SBTB merchandise around as that would have been a license to print money back in the day when the show was super popular.  Just Casey Kasem, twice, because teens love old men, I guess, and the head of NBC as himself, to put over the anti-drugs PSA in No Hope With Dope. Mostly SBTB stuck to its own in-universe celebrity scene (which was awesome). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a patch on Pugwalls Summer but then what was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted March 15, 2015 Moderators Share Posted March 15, 2015 Yeah, she was the daughter of the manager at the beach place, where they were all working summer jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted March 16, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted March 16, 2015 I wouldn't say she was a celebrity guest star. She was a nobody back then who later went on to success.The book is now live in the UK, so if you pre-ordered, it should have sent to your device of choice.

Paid Members Bettencourt Posted March 16, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted March 16, 2015 I can't wait to get home to my kindle and start reading. Â I'm ruing my stupidity and forgetfulness in regards to taking my kindle to work. Could have been reading it on my lunch break! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted March 16, 2015 Moderators Share Posted March 16, 2015 Wow, your way of reading is very different to mine. I'm forever buying books and adding them to the massive pile of stuff I have to read. My backlog is usually months long! This will probably get bumped up the list because of its portable format, but still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted March 16, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted March 16, 2015 I'll never read all this unless it gets a paper release but I've bought it anyway. Good luck with it, Woi, it's a hell of a fucking effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
