Hey,

Yeah, I was in high school then, and James at 15 was so big, even though that show seems forgotten about now.  I do remember that a lot was written about it at the time, and it was considered more real than anything till that point. I guess it was, for its time.  I watched it, everyone did, and it was definitely the most talked about show when I was in high school.  Actually James at 15 and Family too.  Everyone also talked like crazy about whether Kristy McNichol was actally going to in Family. That was also a big deal. But she didn't.

But I do have to admit, my favorite high school show was on years and years later. Actually in 1994/1995.  My So Called Life.  I still tinink that was the best high school show ever, even for adults.

"Lost in Space" has one of the best opening themes of all time! Actually, there are two versions of the LIS theme.
I like the second one just a little better than the first.

Never watched that show, but some of my co-workes have said the same.   Guess I ought to see if DVD's of it are out there anywhere.

Chuck Conners was the MAN!   Can't remember if this was a 50's or 60's show, but I loved it and
another Conners favorite, "The Rifleman"

A few years after Twlight Zone, Rod Serling had the series called Night Gallery.  Creepy stuff, and great fun!
It's on DVD also and I have some of it.  My all time favorite was Richard Thomas (John Boy Walton) as the
"Sin Eater" in an episode titled I believe "Sins of the Father"   One of the best!   Or Joan Crawford as
the blind lady that bought sight for a few hours in an episode called "Eyes".  Priceless
