Here's a history lesson: From April 2007 until February of 2011, Classroom was Channel 101's longest running show of all time. Tyler Spiers created Classroom in January of 2006 writing, producing and directing the first three episodes. With help from the hilarious Joe Davidson, Spiers started the show as a humble, character-driven pilot and it became the most embraced episodic series, schooling the competition for twelve screenings in a row. With its talented cast of Channel 101 regulars, the creative addition of Mike Rose as writer/producer beginning with Episode 4, and frequent plot hi-jinks, the show maintained its status throughout one of the best seasons of Channel 101. Closing the book with it's thirteenth episode, Classroom leaves behind a legacy of five first-place episodes, thousands of happy audience members, and a show that can teach us all a thing or two about Channel 101 success.
