Editing Head of the Class (section)

===="Mission to Moscow"====
In 1988, ''Head of the Class'' broke new ground as it became the first American sitcom to be filmed in the [[Soviet Union]] with an episode filmed entirely in [[Moscow]].<ref name=NYT/>

The IHP is invited to come to the country for a rematch of the academic meet that happened in season one, which ended in a tie. The class has a lot of experiences while in Moscow: Dennis and Arvid take an interest in two beautiful women, until they realise they might be [[KGB]] spies; Eric meets up with his relatives in what is a very positive experience for him; [[capitalism|capitalist]] Alan has an argument with a die-hard [[socialist]] in a store (who is also on the opposing Russian academic team); Sarah and Darlene decide to record the sights and sounds of Moscow; Simone goes to put flowers on a poet's grave and meets up with a charming Russian musician; Dr. Samuels believes that his hotel room is [[Covert listening device|bugged]], but ends up making a fool of himself; and Charlie has a brief romance with a schoolteacher.

The IHP eventually wins the meet and the respect of the Russian team. The episode concludes with both teams attending a concert in [[Gorky Park (Moscow)|Gorky Park]] swaying to the song "Far Away Lands" (written and performed by American [[David Pomeranz]] and Russian rock star [[Alexander Malinin|Sasha Malinin]]).
