From season 4 of Recess:
Principal Prickly (Dabney Coleman, ex-Buffalo Bill, The Slap Maxwell Story) is offered a similar job at a middle school, a promotion, if you will, from 3rd Street Elementary.
However, the Board of Education brings in a very nasty fellow named Slicer (guest star Tim Curry, ex-The Wild Thornberrys) to bring more discipline to the school, and the kids ain't digging that.
Here's "Prickly is Leaving":
Sixteen years later, Archie Comics tried a similar storyline in rebooting Jughead by forcing Principal Weatherbee into retirement, replaced by a no-nonsense type. Of course, that didn't last, either.
Rating: B.
