Premise: A bunch of smart (and smart-ass) kids learn from their ex-hippie of a teacher ("WKRP" vet Howard Hesseman, later replaced by Billy Connolly).

Original airdates: 1986 - 1991

Why a reboot: With a simple premise that can be translated to virtually any time or place, a revamp of "Head of the Class" seems effortless. Just put a recognizable but not too-famous comedian (say, Rob Corddry or Hannibal Buress) in front of a classroom full of genius youngsters and let it rip.
