Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Matt LeBlanc's first recurring TV role, two years before his brief Married... with Children arc and six years before Friends.
TV 101 arrived at the tail end of the 'inspirational teacher' boom (Welcome Back, Kotter, Head of the Class) but failed to capture the zeitgeist as teen dramas shifted toward Beverly Hills, 90210's soapier territory.
