Dick's four main students portrayed by Creator/DavidDeluise, Creator/IanLithgow, Creator/DanielleNicolet and Creator/ChrisHogan.
----
* ButtMonkey: All four of them (especially Leon) suffer a lot of abuse from Dick and fail to graduate from college throughout the show's six-year run because Dick's extremely difficult class is a required course.
* TheDogBitesBack: In one episode, they get Dick brought before the disciplinary board for insensitivity. In another, Bug and Pittman delightfully mock Dick while he's working at a fast-food job.
* HiddenDepths: Leon is the worst student in Dick's class, but is also the only one who wants to pursue a physics career.
* IBangedYourMom: In one episode, Dick has sex with Bug's mother and then brags about it to the class.

Mary explains that when she did Strudwick had been separated from his wife, but Mary didn't know at the time it was only a trial separation. Dick is more outraged at the notion she slept with Strudwick of all people, not that he was married, and is more concerned with getting even with him than with Mary.
