Professor Kool

Professor Kool was portrayed as a “loony teacher” who wore oversized shoes, an academic’s robe and mortarboard, comically large bow tie, glasses and had a moustache.

He aimed to make kids enjoy school more by using songs such as “it’s lots of fun” sung to the tune of "Jingle Bells.” Another of the weekly features was when children were selected from the audience to play the Pie Face game using the Hasbro toy of the same name.

[3] Professor Kool had a nemesis named Miss Spiderweb, a silent, stealthy witch-like wraith who wreaked havoc in the classroom who was played by John Ziemann.

[4] As the villain of the show, Miss Spiderweb was frequently the target of the kids on the set and at personal appearances.

One of the shows favorable highlights was Professor Kool’s reading of the lunch menu; a long scroll with wacky unappealing descriptions would have the classmates sounding disgusted.
