This was a Saturday morning show that came on right after Saved By the Bell. I didn't like it as much, but found myself watching every ep.
I especially loved the ep with Tiffany and Jake where Tiffany worked in the shop. She thought the boys told her the lefty loosey/righty tighty thing because she was a girl, but it turned out it was how they (and I) learned!
Thoughts?

There actually was a California Dreams thread around here awhile back that thrived and had many conversations about the Jenny and Matt seasons vs. the Jake and Lorena seasons. You might want to search through all the threads and see if it's still around somewhere.

I totally loved this show. I liked all the seasons, but I did prefer the seasons with Mark, as he was my fave character and all.
My favorite episode was the one where Tony got a blank fortune is his fortune cookie. Boo Shing! haha.
I wish some channel would show reruns. It could come on TBS in a block with Saved by the Bell. Does anyone know if there are any DVDs of the series out yet?

I have the soundtrack to this show. Sesly, I do.
I loved CD, watched it every Saturday along with SBTB. Don't think I had a fave character, they were all decent. I remember Jake quitting smoking because his uncle (?) died of lung cancer.

What I remember about Jake was how he was Fonzie 2.0. I found his relationships with Kelly and Lorena to be a bit skeevy. Just like with the Fonz, I didn't believe for a second that he was any where near the age range of a high schooler.

The quality of the shows got better after Jenny left imo. I thought she was a mean spirited bitch.
I like Jake and Lorena Costa (I loved the way she said her name) better than him and Tiffany. She was too squeeky clean I wanted her with Mark.
Sam and Tony were really cool and I absolutley adored Sly.

That's hilarious because it's so true! He was so greasy which was so cool then! I've completely forgotten about a lot of the characters (except for Sly because I thought he was in Newsies as one of the Delancy brudders, but I was wrong).
I really need to get some screencaps of this to fuel my memory.

I liked Jake & Lorena better than Jake & Tiffany too. I shipped Tiffany with Matt. Tiff & Sly or Tiff & Mark would've been cute though. Sam & Tony were great together of course.
Another episode I really liked is the modeling one. Sam is so obsessed with Sampson. Didn't one of the American Gladiators play him? Nitro?
The show did get better after Jenny left. She was the one character I didn't like.
Did anyone else hate the fact that Sly and Lorena were together at the end? I was already annoyed that Jake got back together with Tiffany, then they put Sly and Lorena together, which just really got on my nerves at the time.

Oh yes, please! Specifically the episode where Sly gets duped by a modeling agent and he stands around the last half of the episode in a bathing suit (*drool*)
I miss this show. I even liked some of the songs (mostly the cheesy, slow ones).

I actually have most of the songs on mp3 as sad as that is.
I just wanted to be Lorena. Huge house where my parents were never home, tons of cash, hot boyfriend, etc. What 16 year old lives like that?
I totally hated Sly and Lorena together. Sly was much better with Tiffany or Nikki Cox.
Least favorite character? Sam by a mile.

The poor man's Saved By the Bell! I loved this show. I was so into Jake and Lorena.

I couldn't stand Jenny, and I totally forgot Nikki Cox was on there! Yeah, they need some reruns or something.
What's hilarious is that though I barely remember much about the show, I know each and every single note and word to the theme song! Ahh memory.

Ooooh ooooh ooooh He's phat! (He's large!) He's the king! (He's so funk-ay!) Ohhh yeah He's the next big thing!
I miss this show too! I don't remember too much about it, other than the theme song and the one I just quoted (which I so wish I had in mp3). I know I have one of the CD teen novels around in a box somewhere, that I ordered from a book club in the 5th grade.

I seriously thought that she was blind in real life after I saw that episode.

That is actually one of the only ones I don't have because it wasn't on the soundtrack. Only the Matt and Jenny years made the soundtrack I think. That and Jake's "Too Much To Dream" song that was stolen by like Neil Young or whoever.
