California Dreams was developed by Peter Engel Productions and NBC after they had scored a hit together with another very similar teen series, "Saved by the Bell".

Surf dudes with attitudes
Kinda groovy
Laid back moods
Sky above, sand below
good vibrations
Feelin´ mellow

Don´t give it up....
Don´t wanna stop....

Don´t wake me up....
Don´t wake me up if I´m dreamin'
California dreams
Just let me stand here in the sun...
Until my dream is done...
