Head of the Class

And of course, Head of the Class also spawned a show that has had two Pings written about it: Just the Ten of Us.

FROM: Robert
DATE: Monday July 10, 2000 -- 1:31:15PM

Ryan--'Just the Ten of Us' was borne of 'Growing Pains'. There might have been a 'Head of the Class' connection as well, but I don't remember it.

I also ran across the short marathon on Friday. YES! Now, all we need is 'Silver Spoons'. Then I will die happy.

Ah, Robert, you are correct. My bad.

I'd really like to see Diff'rent Strokes come back as well as Silver Spoons (I really wanted a train track in my house).

I miss the old days of SNL. back when it was a force to be reckoned with. Todays its a shadow of its former self. Long live the reruns.

If you want to know about the glory that began when SNL started and has since been perverted, I recommend the book "Mr Mike". It's about Michael O'Donohue, the first SNL head writer and National Lampoon golden boy.

I watched Head of the Class religiously when I was a wee lass. My favorite episode was when the class did the musical "Hair". That was a goodie! So when does this gem of a show air on Nick At Night?

FROM: Paul

Jessica, I'm now unsure if it's regularly scheduled... it was part of their 'party crasher' schedule last week, so they showed it all night.

But man, I know I can't stand it when sitcoms do musicals! Any sitcom, any musical. Or school play. ungh!

Head of the Class was the best show ever!! And by the way, it was Brian Robbins and Dan Schneider who created "All That", not Dan Frishman!(Dan F. co-stars in the series "Kenan and Kel", another Robbins/Schneider project!)

Head of the class was an outstanding show indeed ! I grew up with it, and even now, in my late twenties, I am still a fan ! Memorable characters, great dialogues, energetic performances. What more could you ask for in a TV show ? I agree that most of the last section with Billy sucked but there were still a couple of bright moments.

A couple of years ago, I wrote a complete compendium on the show. And last year, I built a web site... but it's still pretty lame. I'm workin' on it !

I totally agree with u Stephen. What a killer show !

Glad to learn I'm not the only Head of the class fan in the world !

Brian Robbins' movies (especially "Big fat liar") are pretty darn good !

Have ya seen the latest Brian Robbins movie, Big fat liar (not suprised by this title) ? Geez, for a kids movie it sure is well made and goddamn funny !

Head of the class kicks ass by the way !

DATE: Tuesday February 26, 2002 -- 10:40:26 pm

Anything made by the HotC kids has got to be good!(Go see Big Fat Liar!)

I'm working on a "Class" site and need your help ! Send me your three favorite episodes, your favorite character in the show and why is that character special to you and finally, why is the show so special to you (what made it so good). The answers will be posted on the site. Thanks !

Hey Stepphen...

Answers to your questions;

(a) episodes
(1) Play it again Woody : amazing, sensitive episode
(2) Little shop of horrors : just to see Maria and Arvid together singing at the end of this bring tears to my eyes
(3) Hamlet : we get to see Mr.Moore's theater. Fantastic first season episode.

(b)
Dennis is my favorite character. Why ? Ahhh... well... because he's the funniest of the whole gang

(c)
I think that hotc was such a great show because it was a human show. not a shoot-em-up sci-fi kind o thing. all the characters were humans with feelings and problemes. it was easy to relate to all of them.

see ya!

has anybody seen the movie chud II that brian robbins did in the late eighties? i heard it's just plain awful and i would love to see it one day!

FROM: Ryan
DATE: Saturday March 2, 2002 -- 11:08:23 am

CHUD II: Bud the Chud -- "This CHUD's for you."

CHUD = "Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers."

Yes, I've seen it. :) It's a fun comedy/horror film... the first movie in the series was straight horror, but this one was pretty goofy.

FROM: Patricia

This is for u Steven.The only problem is I don`t know the name of the episodes!

Here we go

Fave episodes :

Arvid and Dennis' trip to Houston
The musical Grease
Election day

Favorite class member : Arvid. Because he's just like a young woody Allen clone! Funny, neurotic, yet very touching.

I like this show because it's just funny and at the same time, it deals with real (and sometimes serious) issues. Its different from every show i've seen on television in the last fifteen years

I have to say that I am a BIG HotC fan as well and miss it a lot. Dan F. is my second cousin! I used to go to family picnics and witness his comedic genious way back when I was a little kid, but didn't appreciate it back then. What I know now, eh? I hooked up with him when I was in college and take personal credit for ideas that developed into the last few episodes of the series.

Dan is great on Keenan and Kel and my kids (who are 10, 8, and 4) still get a kick out of knowing they are related to him.

Thanks for letting me share and when you get your HotC web page up and running, drop me a line!

I must be the only one who liked "Alan" in HEAD OF THE CLASS. They didn't use him much, but he certainly had a character that stood out from the rest. What ever happened to him. I saw him once in a "Murder She Wrote" episode.

FROM: Ryan
DATE: Thursday May 1, 2003 -- 11:27:19 am

"Alan" also starred in the underrated 80s slasher flick Chopping Mall (aka Killbots).

FROM: Heather
DATE: Thursday June 12, 2003 -- 2:40:23 am

I liked Alan too. I was also crazy about Alex (played by Michael DeLorenzo)

Head of the Class was one of my all time favs, I had all the shows recorded for the first 4 years it was on. I watched them so much, I wore out my copies. It would be great if they would release these on DVD. My Fav episode is when the Russian kids come to the first annual "Brain Bowl"
