California Fever

Although this show was short lived and a very long time ago now, I remember it like yesterday. Probably because at the time "California Fever" was on the air my father had a 1970 Trans Am. Not even close to being as cool as the one in the show driven by Jimmy McNichol. But what I am wondering is.. whatever happened to Jimmy's TA after the show ended? I've searched the web for images of the car but there really aren't any. Just promo shots of the gang posing around the car and not much of it in frame. I have also been researching google and following leads but there isn't any information about the show's super cool Trans Am. I loved the paint job. Please let me know if you have any information.

Best I can remember, I liked this show. But I was a silly 14 yr old girl with typical crushes. I loved the cars and the beaches. I enjoyed skating back then and thought that was the best, to get to skate all the time like that. Where I lived at we all met up at the skating rink. I thought one day I'd like to go to California until I found out they had earth quakes and forest fires. But I do remember enjoying the sites of the beach and I thought they must have the best life ever. I did wonder why they never went home? Why their parents wasn't ever looking for them? I'm just sorry all the actors dropped off the face of the earth, more or less I hope the actors are living their best life now. Wouldn't mind watching the episodes again for old times sake.

California beaver would have been better title for this vapid series

This show was really bad, but I totally love it none the less. It is an awesome 70's guilty pleasure show. The acting is nonexistent and the writing is horrible, but the episode with Rex Smith is classic and Jimmy McNichol's car is killer.

It is a fun watch if you can find it but it for most people it is not worth tracking down.

The other reviewer on this show was mistaken as Jimmy McNichol was not in Soap. That was Jimmy Baio. Lorenzo Lamas was in this but his horrific acting makes you wonder how he ever found work later on Falcon Crest. Morgan Brittany who was in two episodes later went on to have a great role in Dallas and was one of the few people in the show who seemed at all believable in her character and even that was a stretch.

Still, this show is priceless.

I finally found someone else who saw this show. No one I ever ask has any idea what I'm talking about. I have never even heard of this show coming up during a trivia game.

I was only about 7 or 8 at the time it aired, so I remember very little. I knew it was about a bunch of teens on a California beach, southern California I later assumed, but was never sure.

I do recall part of the theme song, "California here I am and I love you. I've got the fever for you!" I just remember that being sung over and over again. I still remember the tune of the theme song.

It is good to know that a few careers seem to have been started with this show however brief it was with way less than one season.
