 Some of the extented footage in the TV version has a bit of more dialogue  between Richard Clark and his father in the opening scene where Richard tells  his father that he may not be able to change the world but at least make a  difference. When Richard Clark first arrives at Barry High School, he asks a  student standing in front of the Danger Treds Damage Tires sign and asks  where the faculty parking lot is and the student responds "who are you?" and  Richard replies that hes a new teacher and the student replys "so, more meat  for the grinder." A more lenghly introduction to the classroom is shown with  a few men wearing chemical protective clothing leave the classroom as Richard  and Victoria first arrive to see his classroom.
