Hang Time:

A (Partial) Episode Guide:

Date of last major update:  July 15, 2001.
This version of this guide:  2.60

NOTE: This episode guide is only partially complete, but is now only in basic "maintenance mode" (i.e. I've done as much of this guide as I intend to).

Before you ask any questions about this TV-related site, please read the FAQ for this website which will answer many of these questions! Questions about obtaining TV series on DVDs (for DVDs, see also: www.TVShowsOnDVD.com), tapes, etc. should be directed to the usenet newsgroup rec.arts.tv or alt.tv.saved-bell (maybe), or to the network or channel that airs the show (in syndication) or to NBC Productions, the production company that produced the show.

Hang Time was created by Troy Searer, Robert Tarlow (who worked on Running the Halls, and who now appears to be working on USA High) and Mark Fink, and was a Mark Fink (of Full House fame) Production, with Fink and Jeff Ferro as Executive Producers.

There were 13 episodes in Hang Time's first season. Hang Time was renewed for a second season, which began on September 7, 1996; there were also 13 episodes in season #2. Again, the show then ran for a total of six seasons, ending in the 2000-2001 TV season.

For reasons not enitrely clear to me, Mark Fink was out as Producer of "Hang Time" for season #2; "Saved by the Bell" and "California Dreams" Producer Peter Engel took over. Many changes were made to the show to the show in season #2, some of them displeasing to fans of season #1.

In fact, I decided to abandon doing the (full) Hang Time Episode Guide, after season #2 finished airing. My reasons for doing this are partly explained in a review of the season #2 premiere of HT that I wrote and posted to alt.tv.saved-bell (and which is just as relevant to the other episodes in season #2, as it was to the premiere). Personally, I couldn't stand to see HT degenerate into another "Saved by the Bell: The New Class", with a cast change, and declining comedic value, every season. Basically, with the end of the run of "California Dreams", I'm just got too old to continue watching T-NBC (especially with the remaining shows yielding only marginal entertainment value).

It's been a great run folks, but it's time to move on.   -   Fall 1997

Season 3 ('97-'98):

NOTE: I gave up and stopped watching Hang Time regularly after season #2, as I was dissatisfied with changes made to the show after season #1. (Note that this is my opinion, and my opinion only.) However, the show did continue the streak, started last season, with another excellent basketball-themed season finale, much like season #2's. There are about 20(?) episodes in season #3, as the show aired twice on Saturday during this season. The show had the following cast in season #3:

HT, Season 3 Cast:
   Julie Connor           -Daniella Deutscher
   Danny Mellon           -Chad Gabriel
   Mary Beth Pepperton    -Megan Parlen
   Vince D'Amata          -Michael Sullivan
   Theodore "Teddy" Brodis-Anthony Anderson
   Michael Manning        -Adam Frost
   Kristy Ford            -Amber Barretto
   Coach Bill Fuller      -Reggie Theus

Season 4 ('98-'99):

With Theus, Gabriel and Anderson gone, I gave up even the pretense of watching Hang Time, so I have no idea what the storylines for season #4 were. As I recall, Hang Time also aired twice on Saturday during this season. Here is cast for season #4:

HT, Season 4 Cast:
   Julie Connor           -Daniella Deutscher
   Mary Beth Pepperton    -Megan Parlen
   Michael Manning        -Adam Frost
   Kristy Ford            -Amber Barretto
   Nick Hammer            -Mark Famiglietti
   Kenny "Silk" Hayes     -Danso Gordon
   Rico Bocso             -James Villani
   Coach Mike Katowinski  -Dick Butkus

Season 5 ('99-'00):

I was still not watching Hang Time in season #5, so, again, I have no idea what the storylines were. Hang Time went back to airing once on Saturday during this season. Here is cast for season #5:

HT, Season 5 Cast:
   Julie Connor           -Daniella Deutscher
   Mary Beth Pepperton    -Megan Parlen
   Michael Manning        -Adam Frost
   Kristy Ford            -Amber Barretto
   Kenny "Silk" Hayes     -Danso Gordon
   Eugene Brown           -Phillip Glasser
   Antonio Lopez          -Jay Hernandez
   Coach Mike Katowinski  -Dick Butkus

Season 6 ('00-'01):

NOTE: Season #6 of Hang Time was this show's last season - it ended airing even in reruns on NBC in August or September of 2001. The cast for season #6 remained the same as season #5:

HT, Season 6 Cast:
   Julie Connor           -Daniella Deutscher
   Mary Beth Pepperton    -Megan Parlen
   Michael Manning        -Adam Frost
   Kristy Ford            -Amber Barretto
   Kenny "Silk" Hayes     -Danso Gordon
