Reception
Reviews were mixed overall,[2] though The New York Times gave the premiere a glowing review, calling it "a delightfully off-center sitcom".[3] They said that, while it was "another teacher-faculty-students romp", it was "closer to the film Dead Poets Society than to classic prime-time exercises like Welcome Back, Kotter or Head of the Class."[3]
Cancellation
The series was not picked up for another season and the last broadcast was in March 1997. Farrah Forke and Stephen Tobolowsky had starred together in another short-lived sitcom, Dweebs, just the year before, which was created by Mr. Rhodes co-creator Peter Noah.[4]
