Mr. Weatherbee is a heavyset, no-nonsense man who dresses in fairly old-fashioned clothes, including wearing pince-nez eyeglasses perched on the tip of a vermiform nose and a tiny wisp of a toupee that perpetually flies off whenever he is upset or startled.

The man grumbles about the poor driving and remarks to himself how his headmastership of the high school will prevent "go-nowheres" like him.

There are also times when Weatherbee takes an interest in teaching Archie valuable lessons about life, nature, or things he enjoys.

During that episode, Weatherbee also acknowledged that while Archie's school work has been careless at times, his grades were quite adequate.

Initially successful in introducing Weatherbee to Gwen, the plan ultimately fails when she finds out his ambition to become a teacher, which she says has no money in it.

However, in this series, the former Miss Grundy died from kidney disease soon afterwards, leaving the portly principal a broken-hearted widower.

While on break, he reminisces with her about the time they snuck into Cypress Cemetery on Halloween when they were younger and makes references to Night of the Living Dead.
