Who Knew? 'Head Of The Class' Made Sitcom History! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 09-24-2011, 12:09 AM

Technically, Mr. Moore’s class of gifted students weren’t taking a vacation when they flew to Russia, but the filming location is so unique that it deserves a spot on this list. While visiting the city to compete in a debate, the kids spend most of the episode sightseeing and experiencing culture clashes with their Russian counterparts. (Unsurprisingly, one plot point revolved around two of the students suspecting local girls of being KGB agents). Head of the Class made TV history with this episode, as it was the first American sitcom to film in the Soviet Union.

I wonder....did Arvid Engen have anything to do with the fall of Communism?

That's cool! I don't remember seeing that ep, but I'd love to!

I heard about "Head of the Class" going to Soviet Russia. I wish they would have that show on again, like on a Retro Station.

the show was recently airing in Australia. Just as I was starting to get a couple of trading friends in the land Down Under to record it for me, it went off the air. One of them thinks it will be back though.

Yeah. I remember Nick at Nite giving it a fair amount of airplay.
