Saturtainment: Hang Time (1995)

By the mid-90's, NBC's Saturday morning lineup was devoid of animated programming, and as the network had the rights to NBA basketball at the time, it made sense to have a "teen-com" devoted to the game, hence Hang Time, from producer Peter Engel (Saved By The Bell, California Dreams).

Following is a collection of intros. 



Reggie Theus, a former NBA star, landed his first TV acting job, but it didn't last long. This was the first series in more than a decade for NFL Hall of Famer Dick Butkus, who at least had past acting experience (Blue Thunder). Butkus lasted until Hang Time was cancelled.

No rating, as I never saw the show.
