California's Gold was a public television human interest program that explores the natural, cultural, and historical features of California. The series ran for 24 seasons beginning in 1991, and was produced and hosted by Huell Howser in collaboration with KCET, Los Angeles. The series ceased production when Howser retired in November 2012, shortly before his death on January 7, 2013, although episodes continue to be shown on KCET and are featured on the page at the station's website about his shows.
The series theme song is "California, Here I Come". Typically, it is performed by local musicians who may be from a given episode's locale. However, some episodes include an old-time recording of the California state song "I Love You, California".
