James At 15 (PILOT) (1977) - OPENING

15 years old in the '70s...that was a magical time, a time when we believed that all of our dreams would come true. Watching this intro brought that feeling back for 2:00. :)

Dang, I's only 8:00 a.m. and this kid's schedule already has me exhausted.

I remember one episode when James was with a Swedish chick and they were playing "Just the way you are" by Billy Joel in the background.

I always had remembered that for some reason.

it became James at 16 when he finally scored lol

Obviously the opening segment is set in
Oregon.
Doesn't look anything like the Boston area
even the suburbs...houses are just constructed differently

He sure is pumping iron. lol

I was around 13 when it aired,
and remember the hilarious "love scene" between him and Melissa Sue Anderson in the sleeping blanket, and later on when he tries to plant a kiss on Charlie's Angel Kate Jackson.

This kid was THE Stiff-meister
nearly 20 years before Hollywood's
recipe for "American Pie" showed up ;)

He was actually 17 at the time, believe it or not. A fact sheet on Lance Kerwin said that he was born in 1960.

You're right though..he looks quite young. Some people just have that in them I guess.

He was also in the "Salem's Lot" series from the 80's. He played the kid whose parents were murdered by Barlowe when he smashed their heads together.

the song is awesome, the next season (16) theme song sucked

LOL, I was totally bummed out when they changed the song. I lived for hearing it every week on the black & white TV in the simple days brother. I hear ya.
