Original Dates: ~1983-1987?
Many TV shows based around a school usually have an episode with a substitute teacher. There are 2 directions producers can push the storyline. There could be a very nice sub where the class ends up happy to get a break from their teacher. On the other side of the coin, an evil sub can make things worse for the students. In the Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles pilot, an evil cyborg was disguised as the substitute teacher and shot up the classroom trying to kill John Connor. Watching that episode sparked a flashback to elementary school where my friends and I had the unfortunate experience of our own evil sub. Her name was Mrs. Cobler, but she was known as "Mrs. Cobra" or "Cobra Commander" to all of the kids. Mrs. Cobra was always mean and obviously hated kids. Everyone got in trouble by her... I mean everyone at one point or another... even Mike N.! Mike was the perfect student, both academically and morally. Physically, she was tall and elongated with a slight arch in her upper back... very much resembling a humanoid cobra! There was likely a metal endoskeleton & red eyes underneath as well. We suffered her presence through almost the entire 6 years of elementary school and were never happy when our teachers were sick.
