Why is this show still shown in re-runs? Why is it such a classic? The theme song and laughing at a young Travolta is about the only thing memorable. The teacher looks like Alex Trebek on crack, most of the show takes place in a claustrophobic classroom with corny jokes. I guess this was cute and iconic at the time, but even my parents' generation often remarks on how mediocre and lame it was, in reality. I guess it is just a nostalgic thing for older viewers. Nothing about it is really that funny. It is more annoying and sleep-inducing than anything else. I've watched several episodes, and I don't have one memorable thing besides that to tell anyone.
