S1E1: California Dreams

California Dreams is a show The Los Angeles Times called "Nothing more than a Saved by the Bell clone set in an upscale beach town". In reality, the creative team behind California Dreams all came fresh from working on Saved By The Bell.

California Dreams was a show intended to be a family sitcom based on the Garrison family, who's two oldest teenage children were in a rock band with their friends. As the show continued however the family was ohased out with the main focus being on the band itself.

Despite some major cast and plot changes the show managed to last 5 seasons on NBC. Was any of the Saved By The Bell magic captured here or were the show creaters a one hit wonder? Find out as we review their pilot episode, "The First Gig".
