Series Description

The Nick Freno: Licensed Teacher TV show was a 30 minute comedy series on the WB Network (now the CW Network) about a struggling actor who takes a job as a substitute teacher so he can pay his bills while waiting for his "big break" into show business. Then, unexpectedly, he finds that he has a real knack for connecting with sixth-graders. They like him a lot and the feeling was mutual. So it came down to a struggle between his desire to be a star and his new-found love for his students.
