Wally Cox, as Mr. Peepers, plays a shy science teacher at "Jefferson Junior High". But what makes Mr. Peepers so unique that although he seems to be mild mannered, easily bullied, baffled and befuddled by every day life, he had the strength of his convictions to insure his life was fulfilled and that no matter what, he prevailed Because of that, he became an "every man", a man we could identify with, someone we could aspire to be like. The fact he put others before himself, that he genuinely cared about his students and those around him, including his sister and mother, despite the obstacles life constantly put before him, he always prevailed, even to the extent that the series ends with him marrying the girl of his dreams. Includes all 26 episodes in Season 2 including the commercials, which were done live.
