Dean Jagger received two Emmy nominations for his portrayal of Principal Albert Vane.
Jagger was excellent as the principal of the high school. I have not seen an episode with Burgess Meredith as the principal.
As spacepartrolman alluded to, many of the problems faced by Mr. Novak, the other teachers and the principal in the early 1960s would seem quite mundane if the show aired today.
Franciscus, I believe, died of lung cancer in the early '90s.
He was a heavy smoker.

Both James Franciscus and Geraldine Brooks died way too young.

The plot of "Love Among the Grownups" revolves gossip spread through the high school about an alleged affair between Novak and another teacher.

Just a comment ... I wish dramas and adventure shows would make a comeback and the so-called reality shows would disappear.
Just opinion.

However, Lady Gaga never appeared as a guest star on "Mr. Novak", nor did Paris Hilton.
