I'm stealing a Golden Girls plot for this:

Betty White plays a mean teacher at Eastland who picks on Tootie causing her to get really angry, and while talking to the other girls wishes that she drops dead...and when she actually does drop dead right in the middle of class and in front of their eyes, Tootie feels incredible guilt afterwards for wishing the old bat dead.

BETTY WHITE, as the headmistress at 'Eastland' would have even be more hilarious: she'd be like the 'female version' of THE CROCK hee hee!

SUSAN SARANDON as the bio teacher: a similar version of MISS MAHONEY would have been really funny too!

MERYL STREEP as MRS G? (although no one can replace the feisty red haired!) I'm only suggesting, cos i really like this actress and she can play any kind of roles....

As for the students: DEMI MOORE as NANCY, SARAH JESSICA PARKER as SUE ANN, and WINONA RYDER as PIPPA (they were a hit in the 80 s)

Satisfied with my answers?

PS: MELISSA GILBERT as CINDY (she was a hit in the 70 s)

Larry Wilcox from Chips playing another motorcycle cop that falls in love with Jo and asks her to marry him. On the day of their wedding he is killed in a traffic accident. Mrs.G and the girls rally around to help with her depression.

Ted McGinley plays a preppy teacher at college and Blair makes a fool of herself to get his attention. Her rival for his attention is played by Lori Loughlin. Blair finds out she cheated on her admissions papers and ponders whether or not to spill the beans.

But since Eastland made Cindy wallpaper, Wonder Woman needs to come to the rescue and take Cindy away to be her junior partner.

Natalie is eating Kentucky Fried Chicken while driving Mrs. Garrett's car and the wheel becomes slippery from the grease and she wrecks. Natalie only suffers a broken leg and falls in love with her dreamy doctor played by Greg Evigan.

Jo finds out her father was married briefly before marrying her mother and has a brother. She tracks him down. Phillip McKeon (Nancy's real life brother) appears.

Blair gets into a cat fight with a popular new rich girl Tiffany played by Heather Locklear.

Yes, that's a great plan: CINDY as WONDER GIRL!

Yes i can totally see that: HEATHER LOCKLEAR got into cat fights before in other sitcoms, and was a bit of a troublemaker like BLAIR!!!!
