Room 222

By King George

The show is set at a Los Angeles High School. It deals with the interactions of the students with themselves and with the faculty, particularly history teacher Pete Dixon (Lloyd Haynes). You will find his class in Room 222.

Liz McIntyre (Denise Nicholas) is the guidance counselor and Pete's love interest; Seymour Kaufman (Michael Constantine) is the sometimes cynical, yet fair principal of Walt Whitman High, and Alice Johnson (Karen Valentine), who is the student-teacher in Pete's class (later became the English teacher of own classroom). It began as a light comedy, then turned more dramatic in later seasons as the show touched on serious issues of the time. It lasted five seasons (1969 - 1974).

This show was actually in syndication for quite a while throughout the seventies. However they never seemed to surface after the eighties kicked in. It's a great time piece, making the ever popular "That Super70s show" look more like "Just another 90's show." Perhaps if I saw it now, I'd be bored senseless. The show was very mello dramatic, with a haunting opening theme that stays in your head for decades on end. Who can forget Karen Valentine(as one of the teachers) dropping her books in the hallway, then shaking her head in the opening credits. One episode I remeber in particular is when a teacher comes in who is a notorious drug addict, some knowing students twist up some pencil shavings into a fake joint. The teacher unable to resist temptation, takes it and is caught trying to light and smoke it on school grounds. The show was obviously a bad influence as I (only 8 or 9 years old)immeadiately twisted up my own hand made joint with pencil shavings and tried to smoke it with my friends only to find that it couldn't stay lit. Priceless. --Bowls
