Hessman or Connelly? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Which actor did you prefer as the teacher of the IHP, Howard Hessman or Billy Connelly? I prefer Howard Hessman.

Actually, it's a toss up. Both were funny, but each had his own type of comedy.

In all fairness, the problem with the show in its last season was not the teachers so mush as it was the class itself. When Billy Connolly came onto the show, the class was going through its 5th season. In other words.........

YOU HAD AN HONOR'S CLASS GOING THROUGH ITS 5TH YEAR IN HIGH SCHOOL.

If the roles were reversed, and Hesseman came on later, the show would actually end up the same way.

Both actors have their good qualities in the role. Howard was great as a sort of real person. He had his different moods and gave out good advise. Billy was great as just a more fun loving teacher. (Although I do seem to enjoy watching Howard as Mr. Moore!)

I like Mr. Moore better, but they are both great. I think that Billy could sometimes be a little too funny and that Mr. Moore was a better teacher. Billy was good though.
