Thats insane that Dan Schneider, the fat kid from that show, is unbelievably rich now from making all the Nickelodeon shows like Drake & Josh, Icarly, Victorious, Zoey 101 etc
Nice work. Click on my channel to see my 80's nostalgic collections; "80's TV Show Openings", "80's Saturday Morning Cartoons", "80's WWF Wrestling" and a "John Hughes Tribute".
Epic fail cartwheel at 24 seconds. Wtf this show sucked. How come that fat ass dennis got to hang out in the back of the class with theonly computer. Mike Tyson should have kicked his ass as well. I wouldn't mind seeing venus flytrap catch. Beatdown too or is he johnny fever WHO GIVES A FUCK. FFFUUUUUCK
There needs to be a retro cable channel with strictly 70s and 80s shows, cartoons, movies, and music videos. TVLand used to be a good channel until they started adding the 90s and 2000 shows and the unfunny new sitcoms like Hot In Cleveland.
sometimes i wish i was born at the wrong time, i just wish i was born during the 70's or 80's i hate this fucking time period where you can do everything on your fucking crackberry, back then everything was fun, now today its just born and simple and not the jettsons kind of way
@Smartboy8877 That's because back then we actually had sitcoms and dramas on TV. Now it's filled with crap reality television that dumb people are glued to.
Man during the time this show was on so was, The cosby show,perfect strangers,alf, growing pains,who's the boss, family ties, punky brewster, Mr. Belvedere, and I can go on... Shows that after 20+ years people still remember and love. I couldnt name one stinkin sitcom from the 90's besides seinfeld that were worth remembering. The 80's have become this generations 50's.
Although I completely understand were you are coming from, there are two comments that I would like to make. Of the shows that you mentioned, one that I especially liked from the same generation is "Gimme a Break!". I thought that the character of Julie Kinisky was hot! Also, although I liked Seinfeld, there is one from the nineties that I liked ever more. That one is "Mad About You". Helen Hunt forever!
@flirtwd - Yeah, everything is about special effects and pussy nowadays. There are no more good ideas on television or movie screen anymore. I feel horrible for today's kids who think todays shit is the best. CGI. Psh.
Shout out to all. Thank you! I agree. So many shows these days are about reality. And aren't we just getting a bigger dose of what already is with this rubbish? At least there used to be shows that depicted people caring for another, not trying to "Survive" or "Fire" or outdo each other. It just does not care to glue society, but break the bonds. Enough with the stinkin' reality crap already....stop putting society under a microscope...sh*t!
I don't watch tv anymore cause I am always on YouTube watching great sitcoms from the 80's or early 90's. I cannot name one favorite show I like now. Everything is so called reality shows and everything else STINKS.
If I had a nickle for every post that I have read on You Tube by somebody who hates reality shows, I would have been able to buy a mansion on the hill by now! Oh baby!
Those sitcoms had heart, humor, wit, family. Now, it's all empty. Stupid scripts. Devoid of any heritage or heart. Perhaps that's why most of the new shows go away quickly.
i was 11 when this show first aired...i love all of these shows from the 80's...proud to say that i grew up with these shows...wish they were all on dvd now...i will always love the 1980's...best decade ever!!!!
If I was an ABC executive in the mid-80s, I would've kept Life with Lucy (even if it was bad) and definitely axed Head of the Class. I have a real distaste for this show and am surprised it even lasted for five seasons. I remember when the former show was cancelled and thought "How dare ABC cancel Lucy!"
This was such a great show. I liked both the Howard Hesseman and Billy Connolly eras. I remember wishing that I had beautiful red hair, like the girl who played Simone.
@CzarNucleon999 I know all they have on now is people we don't even know or care to know as celebs eating bugs for cash or doing something stupid like that for some cash prize. only show I ever liked in that catagory is AG otherwise I can walk out my front door for reality
This was one great show.Two things about the intro though. One, that little kid doing a cartwheel on the sidewalk with the hose looked like he might've broken his ankle doing that little stunt.Ouch! Two, those two guys playing basketball were playing without oh I don't know, A BASKET ?!???!? WTF?!? I always wondered about that.
man i miss the way tv was when i was a kid. i mean i love a lot of shows that are on today but is was so different back when shows like this were on. they were simple. easy to follow and very enjoyable. this theme brings me right back to that time.
I love the 1980's sitcoms. Some of my favourites include: Diff'rent Strokes, The Facts of Life, Silver Spoons, Gimmie a Break, Who's the Boss, Danger Bay, The Golden Girls, Small Wonder, Mr. Belvedere, Head of the Class, and My Two Dads. Many of these show are on DVD but some others are not. Please release Head of the Class. I truly miss this show.
Golden Girls, Growing Pains, Who's the Boss?, Saved by the Bell, and Full House... now on DVDs!!! But Head of the Class... not on DVD yet. (Australian PAL4)
hahahah I too just turned 30 like a day ago. Would be nice if theyaired some re runs... my uncle is Billy Schilling who played the principle Dr Samuels... used to chill on the set in Burbank Cali when I was in 3rd-4th grade.... sitting next to Iron Mike Tyson.... good times
@Killer0fTheSun Think of how the generation before ours felt about shows like this compared to the overly naive shows of the 50's like Leave it to Beaver and Father Knows best. In 20 more years sitcoms will be goth kids shooting heroin to a laugh track.
I miss shows like these. I really miss the 80's because a lot of good shows were showned back then. Golden Girls, Growing Pains, Who's The Boss?, Saved By The Bell, Full House & Head of the Class. Now, there's really nothing on TV these days. It's sad!
this was an awesome show,,,I think you can still fit it in todays time,,kids are all different out side but in side they are the same, just want to be accepted and some one to help guide them. i really miss this show
@benito73 what's the matter? you don't like how every show has to try really hard to compete to have the most 'dysfunctional' family that could possibly be thought up nowadays?
Is it possible that you guys are just over rating this show due to nostalgia? Reality TV does suck, but this was hardly the most groundbreaking show...plus the kids are some lame stereotype. Ok...a glasses nerd, indian kid, black girl, fat guy, waspey prick, etc.
i remember when i was a kid this show would rerun after school and i used to get so upset when the gulf war was going on because coverage would pre-empt HOTC....haha, what a rotten little kid i was!
I used to watch this when I was 4 and not have a clue what was going on. It's amazing I still remember the main character's face after 20 years. I sort of recall the theme music. But oh my, what a corny show. I couldn't watch this show as an adult.
I always wondered why Howard Hesseman didn't remain the teacher for the entire run of the show, I know that he made frequent guest spots, I couldn't stand Billy Connolly.
Drake & Josh, the sketch variety shows All That and The Amanda Show and not to mention the screenplay for the 2002movie Big Fat Liar that featured Amanda Bynes and Frankie Muniz, and your right the list of his accomplishments goes on and on.
I can't believe I'm commenting on a fuckin Head of the Class page. I totally forgot about this show until I had a dream of it the other night. Who the fuck dreams of Head of the Class? Anyway I'm glad this is posted, brings back memories I totally forgot about had it not of been for my weird ass sub conscious.
AHA! That's where are you wrong my friend! You are so pathetic that you cannot see the wonderful, glorious, unbelievable joy and beauty this single show brought to thousands of nations! You are sadly mistaken. I feel sorry for your pathetic self.
thousands of nations?..this was hardly the flagship series for the 1980's. I would say Cheers,Cosby,Seinfeld..all kicked it in the teeth. This show barely ran 5 seasons and never went higher then #20 in the Nielsen ratings...but if you want to elevate it to the same level as mans first walk on the moon then you go right ahead.
How dare you spew such blasphemy! If this show were able to don boxing gloves and squared off against Whose the Boss in the ol' ring, HOTC would deliver a knock out punch ten seconds into the first round. Cheers and Cosby were totally different sitcoms and the fat smart kid on this should would EAT Bill Cosby and his Jello pudding pops. Nielsen can take a dump. I have heard ol Steve Hawkins has this theme song playing on loop in his room.
Yep! All I could remember was the dude riding in the back of the truck. It's been bugging me for weeks! I was a mere babe when this show was on!

I hated how they kept shortening the theme to the point where they just used the first :13 (or so then segueing into a musical interlude

I used to watch this when I was 4 and not have a clue what was going on. It's amazing I still remember the main character's face after 20 years. I sort of recall the theme music. But oh my, what a corny show. I couldn't watch this show as an adult.

Loved this show. Even season 5 with Billy Connolly.

I always wondered why Howard Hesseman didn't remain the teacher for the entire run of the show, I know that he made frequent guest spots, I couldn't stand Billy Connolly.

He'll always be Dennis Blunden to me

Drake & Josh, the sketch variety shows All That and The Amanda Show and not to mention the screenplay for the 2002movie Big Fat Liar that featured Amanda Bynes and Frankie Muniz, and your right the list of his accomplishments goes on and on.

I can't believe I'm commenting on a fuckin Head of the Class page. I totally forgot about this show until I had a dream of it the other night. Who the fuck dreams of Head of the Class? Anyway I'm glad this is posted, brings back memories I totally forgot about had it not of been for my weird ass sub conscious.

I'm glad my life isn't so empty that I hold so much favor for an 80's tv show..I feel sorry for you
bloodsling 2 years ago
AHA! That's where are you wrong my friend! You are so pathetic that you cannot see the wonderful, glorious, unbelievable joy and beauty this single show brought to thousands of nations! You are sadly mistaken. I feel sorry for your pathetic self.
Pharsphere 2 years ago
thousands of nations?..this was hardly the flagship series for the 1980's. I would say Cheers,Cosby,Seinfeld..all kicked it in the teeth. This show barely ran 5 seasons and never went higher then #20 in the Nielsen ratings...but if you want to elevate it to the same level as mans first walk on the moon then you go right ahead.
bloodsling 2 years ago
How dare you spew such blasphemy! If this show were able to don boxing gloves and squared off against Whose the Boss in the ol' ring, HOTC would deliver a knock out punch ten seconds into the first round. Cheers and Cosby were totally different sitcoms and the fat smart kid on this should would EAT Bill Cosby and his Jello pudding pops. Nielsen can take a dump. I have heard ol Steve Hawkins has this theme song playing on loop in his room.
Pharsphere 2 years ago
well..I will definitely agree with you on the Who's the Boss thing,if not for Alyssa Milano I never would have watched that piece of garbage.
