Line 6:
Howard Hesseman (of ''[[WKRP in Cincinnati]]'' fame) starred as Charlie Moore, a substitute teacher who is hired to teach history to a class of gifted students at a Manhattan high school. He is not gifted himself, but he thinks outside the box and is full of epiphanies, and so he has much to teach his class even as he finds himself clashing with the school's stuffy, by-the-book principal. Three months later, the [[Very Special Episode]] came in which the original teacher returned from his medical leave. This being a successful American sitcom, after spending most of the episode trying to impress the guy, Charlie is himself; in being himself, he does impress the guy, who was looking for a worthy replacement so that he could retire. This naturally infuriated the principal further, but it finally ensured that there could be a [[Status Quo Is God|stable status quo.]]
The series ran for five years with almost no cast turnover. This did stretch credulity after a time, but it didn't cause problems until the network was forced to replace the teacher with a [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute|Suspiciously Similar]] [[Billy Connolly|Substitute]] in the fifth year.
Oh, and Robin Givens [[Retroactive Recognition|played a student here before she married Mike Tyson]]. Also launched the likes of [[Dan Schneider]]
