      Professor B.O. Beanes: [end lines] Mr. Brand! You're tardy again! So, Mr. Brand! It appears I have you where I want you, in DETENTION!

      Peter Brand: Mr. Beanes, detention is fine, just as long as you're OK.

      Professor B.O. Beanes: Well, actually, I have a little bit of a *sore* throat!

      [Beanes pulls back the collar of his long trenchcoat and scarf to show the stitches holding his head to his body. Peter recoils in horror]

      Professor B.O. Beanes: HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

    A horror and black magic like episode of the series.
    This "AS" episode from season 2 called "Go to the Head of the Class" is one that's different a little odd and horror themed. Most memorable is that it stars Christopher Lloyd(from "Back to the Future" fame) as Professor Beanes who's a great lecturer and punish like type teacher who believes in tardy slips when students are late. And it's all to common with one punk teen who watches to many horror movies and tries for to much female attention. Only a cruel and wicked prank is in the works. This episode is really a head spinner a cruel prank that's a journey thru the graveyard plus it involves black magic and an evil dead like feel.
