Drexell's Class

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Drexell's Class was a situation comedy aired by Fox Broadcasting Company as part of its 1991-92 lineup.

Drexell's Class starred Dabney Coleman in the role of Otis Drexell, a fifth-grade teacher fictional Grantwood Elementary School in Cedar Bluffs, Iowa. Besides the bevy of cute kids, the cast also included, for most of the show's run, Edie McClurg as Drexell's boss, Principal Marilyn Ridge.

This program was one of several efforts in this general time frame to make Coleman's supposedly tough-but-loveable character the lead in a comedy. Others included Buffalo Bill and The Slap Maxwell Story; none ran for more than a single year despite garnering some favorable notice from critics.
