California Dreams

California Dreams came out in the year when Saved by the bell was on its knees before the finale. What i liked about the show is that it is about a group of kids who form their own band and sing songs. Yes, the stories are copies from Saved by the bell, a Peter Engel production, but what really makes up for the show is the soundtrack. you don't have to watch a show to like its music, you can like the show for having wonderful characters and attitude. It's just a shame that the show lasted five years, compared to Saved by the bell which had two spinoffs and lasted for eight years.

NBC should make shows like these.

What can I say, I started watching the show when I was 12 and 10 years later I still love every episode,a great example of teen comedy and entertainment. Real issues with respect for the designated age group, provides honest moments into the teen psyche while providing a light hearted take on high school situations that remain real and believable. What separates this show from other great offerings such as saved by the bell is the music. Although middle of the road pop rock is not to everyones taste the music is fantastically written by Steve Tyrell, and incredibly well produced. The music highlights the shows themes and are as infectiously catchy as they are entertaining. Critiscims such as the perfect America of the 1950s are misplaced as these miss the aim of the show, to represent teen life without degrading it to teenage sex and drug abuse. California dreams is a clean, entertaining family show which never fails to disappoint. Great cast, great songs, great show!

Watched it very little as a kid,when it was actually on originally,but now I catch it on repeat syndication weekdays,try never missing it...i'm also starting to tape the episodes for the future if it happens to go off the air.But I hope it sticks around a while longer,its a show every kid and teen should see,even adults as well...i'm older now and realize the generic and cliche issues they cover similiar to all saved by the bell such type shows,but its still just as good as saved by the bell and the rest...love Jay Franke the most,awesome actor for a show like this....he reminds me of the original red ranger in the original 1st season of the power rangers,and I think he should have been casted rather then austin st. john,but i'm glad he did this show...kelly packard and heidi leinhart were beautiful,packard is sometimes too un-believeable....jennie kwan has the sweet innocent look to her,and does a good job,as does everyone else for what its worth...bottom line,one of the best,words can't describe the vibe,memories and feelings i get when watching it...so joyful.

I watched this show for the first time today and it's pretty good although in my opinion, the girls can't act. But the guys are really funny especially Sly Winkle. Jake Sommer's pretty hot and the show is a good TV show for teens.

California Dreams is similar to Saved By the Bell. It's about a group of teens who have a rock band. Like Saved By the Bell, some kind of serious issue arises and the characters have to deal with it. This series was not all that bad. In fact, it was very funny. Catch the reruns where ever you can.
