Mr. Oxspring (television series)

Mr. Oxspring is a Canadian-American dorama-formatted dramedy sitcom based off the Japanese television drama San-nen B-gumi Kinpachi-sensei (3年B組金八先生).

Mr. Oxspring is the story of a class of 9th-grade high school freshmen in Akron, Ohio. The class' teacher is Mr. Samuel Oxspring (played by John Novak), a sensitive but stern veteran of the original Gulf War who often gets involved in the lives of his students. The show features social commentary on issues such as homosexuality, gender dysphoria, and psychological pregnancy—as well as bullying (of both students and teachers), teenage pregnancy, teenage suicide, hikikomori, and the extreme pressure to do well in school.
