James at 15



First Aired in 1977

James at 15 was one of TV's more honest attempts at portraying the pains and joys of growing up in the 70's. 15-year-old James was a bright, sensitive teenager who found his world completely turned upside down when his father, a college professor, moved the family from Oregon to Boston, Massachuesettes in order to accept a new teaching position.

At first, James tried to run away; then he began to learn how to cope with life in a new city. Among his new friends at Bunker Hill High School were: Marlene, a "plain jane," very intelligent girl who always took the intellectual point of view and Sly, his hip black bestfriend who always had a little bit of advice or, as he called it, "Slychology," when James needed it. Sandy was his teenage sister and Kathy was their older sister.

James was an avid photographer and also a daydreamer. One of the best elements of the series was his periodic lapses into daydreaming of himself as he would like it to be - heroic & suave - portrayed in special, dream-like sequences. Although there was some comedy in James at 15, the subject matter was often rather serious: teenage alcholisism, venereal disease, a young friend who was dying of cancer and finding out that sister Kathy was having a pre-marital affair. The most controversial episode was one in which James lost his virginity in an affair with a Swedish exchange student, Christina Kollberg (played by Kirsten Baker).

Although subject matter in this show was tastefully handled and NBC had high hopes for it, it did not attract a large audience and was canceled after its first year. Effective February 9, 1978 - the episode in which James lost his virginity - the show was renamed James at 16.
