Boomer TV Noontime Nostalgia: Remember "Mr. Novak"
TV Land's new version of "High School Reunion" (airing tonight at 9) made me think of some of TV's classic shows set at those esteemed institutions of learning.
Like "Mr. Novak", which starred James Franciscus as idealistic teacher John Novak and aired from 1963-65. Here's a clip from a 1963 episode starring a young Walter Koenig, who four years later, would of course, go on to play Chekov on "Star Trek."
And appropos of nothing, my seventh-grade math teacher at H. Frank Carey High School was named Mr. Novak. As a 13-year-old, I thought that was unbelievably cool.
