Jimmy Fallon reunited the original line up cast of California Dreams. Brilliant, i loved this show! And they sing the theme song! (except Sly who just stands next to Jimmy looking awkward)

That's amazing. I loved that show, even though the theme song was cringe-worthy to me even as an eight-year-old.

I loved it. I even remember some of their other songs....You cant build castles on quicksand springs to mind!

Hi! I'm back after a hundred years. :) earth2mars March 6 2010, 19:11:41 UTC
OMG, I LOVED this show. I even loved their songs. I used to love Jake. I think he may very well have been the original bad boy I loved... Huh, I had forgotten about .

They were brilliant, they should have released an album.

I loved Jake too but i think Sly was my fave! Plus he stuck with the show to the bitter end even after most of the original characters jumped ship!

You made a better choice, for certain. Look at that photo--Sly looks exactly the same and Jake looks like a serial killer. :)

I saw that and was totally giggling all the way through. It was just so strange. Can I just say, the brunette sister on that show must have been so much older than most of those other actors. Or, at least I hope so, because now she looks about 10 years older. I thought the singing, etc., was awesome. I laughed so much. Screw SbtB -- this was better!

It was so good, they were such good sports. They all looked freakishly the same but with different haircuts except Jake who has clearly undergone some strange bouncer type transformation.

...The Roots playing the California Dreamin' theme song? Definitely something I never imagined I'd see in my life.

I almost forgot about this show! I used to love it. I'm sure it'd be pretty cringeworthy to go back and watch now, though. lol.

I thought it was amaaaazing when i was younger. I think i watched every episode, even when it practically became California Dreams the new class because so few original characters remained!

California Dreams, I meant to say. Not sure why I put Dreamin'. lol

I had forgotten how much I watched it until they started playing the theme song and I started singing along. Did it air on Saturday mornings in the UK too? Here there was a programming block called T-NBC that played all the "teen" shows like this.
