    In 1969, I was 8 and KNEW that I wanted to teach. My friends and I mimicked Karen Valentine's hair and clothing. In 2000, after being an acute care nurse, I joined the nursing faculty where I had graduated and taught for 18 years. Now, I'm back in the frontlines in the hospital during a pandemic. This time, I teach patients how to take care of their broken hearts (and other body parts). Watching Room 222 tonight reminded me of our days of innocence in the U.S.
    American life is so ugly now.
    To the soul who posted the video, thank you for this little gift.

    I must say, it is a great thing to see people working together to make the world a better place regardless of their social backgrounds and differences. What a great show this was and one of my favorite at the time. As the saying goes "they just don't make them like this anymore" .

    The Richie Lane character was taken off the show after two seasons because the Producers felt he had lost his "Overall Cuteness". He was replaced by Eric Laneueville who was naturally short and a good actor, but it was still one of the moca that led to the show's cancellation in 1974!

I always thought that the teenagers on this show were 'cool'. I have a fondness for this time, and miss it.

      Underappreciated classic show created by TV and FILM Producing legend James Brooks(creator of Mary Tyler Moore Show, Taxi and the Simpsons among others). Sure got overshadowed by being in the same friday block of 'Brady Bunch" and Patridge Family" in this era. One of the first TV shows in US that had a regular cast of both Black and White Men and Woman. Also one of the first half hour comedy-dramas as well. TV could use a show like this again.

    This show was a bit before my time. It's a shame that programs today don't have this level of warmth or emotional depth.

      I lived there for two years, and heard kids use the term "fu*%ng niiigga guy" a lot when referring to blacks.
      Used differently than when they called whites "haoles" who they didn't seem to like, of even speak to at all.
      But yes, most locals were live and let live.

      ***** But don't forget about Karen Valentine. This show had a couple of hotties!! (Plus the girl who played student Helen Loomis was worth a look too.)

    • @GregPeters1
      @GregPeters1 Před 9 lety +3

      trwent No doubt Karen was a super cuttie too. Gotta take a second look at Helen Loomis. I felt close to that series because I lived around the corner from LA High during the 60's & early 70's. I remember watching the fire & earthquake bring that building down from my back porch.

      Yes. It was a model of classroom cooperation and what makes a good teacher. There were classrooms like this back then. Back when student to teacher ratio was much higher... It was the history and government classes that were a haven of free thinking and free speech.

      If i get to choose; i would prefer to be called a Woman of Color. You can apply that to all the races that are not anglo-saxon and call it a day.

    Had a school boy crush on Denise Nicholas. And who did not want a teacher like Mr. Haynes? Or a teacher's aide/new teacher like Karen Valentine. Such a great show along with so many during that era: Mod Squad, Courtship of Eddie's Father. There was real hope in the air...Seems like eons ago...
