  3. Hi folks,

    Nice job to you both on remembering these favorite teachers from cult-television.

    PDXWiz: You really did great, and picked off a number of these gallery images. In particular, you correctly identified #2, #6, #7, #8, #10 and #13.

    Brian: PDXWiz beat you to many of these identifications, but you were also correct, and picked off at least two more, #1 and #5.

    Great job to you both!!!!

    Best,
    John

  7. Hi everyone,

    Wow, you all are knocking these out of the park!

    Jane: fantastic job! You noted that Vincent Price was in an episode of Night Gallery here, so I'm going to give this one to you and PDXWiz (who identified Price)!
    You also correctly identified the series of # 12, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the character, if not the name.

    Will: You got number #9. That's Ian Matheson (Neil Dickson) from She-Wolf of London!

    You also got the name right, Jenny Calendar of #12, so I'll split that one between you and Jane!

    and Bobby: Whoo-hoo! You recognized this image from the great series Veronic Mars, and the episode "Weapons of Class Destruction", the character (Geena) and the actress, the one and only Joey Lauren Adams of Chasing Amy.

    Fantastic job to all!

    best,
    JKM

  9. Chris G: Yep, you got it. That's the super sexy Krista Allen as a substitute teacher in "Heat," a second episode of Smallville. She was so hot she made Clark's heat vision fire...

    Great job...

  10. I had a few good looking teachers in school, but they were never this hot! : ) Though I remember one gave me a kiss on the cheek at the end of the school year in 6th grade. I was over the moon. Best, sff

  11. #11 is Ms. Selena Coombs (Brenda Bakke) from American Gothic, a show that never really got a chance.

    Ms. Coombs is one of the most evil teachers on this list.

  12. Hi Nate! Yes, # 11 is Selena (Brena Bakke) from American Gothic, one of my favorite (and much-mourned) horror programs. Great job with that identification!
