Yes some things happened that would turn out totally different outcomes ( see principal shoves student into a locker from earlier post etc: )in real life, but this show had the balls to tackle some very sensitive and racial issues.It was not afraid to bring any issue to our sets and that was the reason for its early cancellation. Advertisers didn't have the balls to sponsor it worrying about consumers reactions. Each episode dealt with issues that at the end had a moral and gave the viewer something to think about. The mixing of school and private lives of the teachers gave the show an added charm about it. It was a show that on occasion would bring a tear to my eye. Yes Harry Senate was a rebel of a teacher, but I know it would have been great to have a teacher like that a student could turn to one so dedicated when I was a kid. Scott Guber, well I had a vice principal just like him in HS. So hated by the students but looking back he was just trying to get everyone through HS and had an odd way of going about it. Was the only student to go to his wake. Harvey Lipschitz was a nice character that brought some pretty funny moments to the show. For the most part the entire cast was likable and the show was always well put forth and kept viewers coming back for more. Bought all episodes here on the internet 2 years ago but they were bootlegs filmed off of a TV set and the copies were terrible. I hope to some day find a real copy of the entire series but until then can only hold its memories near to my heart. Lets not forget Principal Harper who was probably the most controversial principal ever. But at the end of the day he always seemed to make it feel right. Best show ever in my opinion, wish it was still running today.
