Head of the Class (1986–1991)
A nice rediscovery
25 August 2003
Well, I missed most of this show in the 80s, having graduated high school (their enemy, Bronx Science) the June before it premeried. (Ironically most of the cast is five years older than me, even though they finally graduated 5 years later). I have been avidly (Arvidly?) following it on Nick at Nite, though I hear it's days are numbered there too. (There should be a rule then when a new show (like Roseanne) comes in, at some point they make 80s Nick and 90s Nick, because soon shows on Nick at Nite will have jokes in them about Nick at Nite. But I digress ...)

Anyhow almost two decades after my high school years and their show is a nostalgia trip. I am surprised how tight it is, even ideas that carried from one show to the next. Since it will never be on DVD or VHS, I guess we'll just have to enjoy Nick at Nite's last view while we can. (Hey maybe they can do a Back to School Head of the Class marathon? Dare to dream...)
