WHITE SHADOW TRIBUTE THREAD

[batmon]

Milton Reese is the guy standing next to Ken Howard - fourth from the left, up top.

No doubt.

What was Salami's story? His boxer aspirations,right?

The Gang story was kinda scary.

AND wasnt the Principal the Original EARL in the Mama pilot?

Right, he did. Evidently the man knew how to scrap - remember the one episode where he laid this kid up in the hospital for getting a little too close during a game?

Of course, the guy who played Coolidge reappeared on St. Elsewhere playing the same character (both shows were produced by the same guy). The explanation was that he had a promising career as a b-baller, but an injury cut that short and now he's working at a hospital. Supposedly there was one episode where Timothy Van Patten shows up playing somebody totally unrelated to White Shadow. Coolidge is all like, "hey, Salami, remember me?" And Patten - who, remember, is NOT playing Salami - sez something along the lines of, "I don't believe we've ever met."

I live for crazy in-jokes like that.

AND wasnt the Principal the Original EARL in the Mama pilot?

Same dude. And sure enough, there was a different person playing the principal in the White Shadow pilot.
